The Saints have been the class of the division over the last three years. They have had terrible luck in the playoffs including the Minnesota Miracle and the non pass interference call against the Rams in the NFC Championship Game. The Saints will look to turn it around in 2020.

Alvin Kamara has been named a Pro Bowler in each of his first three professional seasons. He has finished with exactly 81 catches every season. Kamara’s production went down in 2019 with just six total touchdowns. He started nine games. In 2020, ESPN projects Kamara to be one of the NFL’s top running backs once again with 877 yards and eight touchdowns.

Kamara was joined by Latavius Murray in 2019. Murray finished with 637 rushing yards and five touchdowns. The Saints used both of their backs effectively last season. Both Kamara and Murray will both be back in 2020 along with Ty Montgomery.

The Saints’ offense will continue to be one of the most dynamic groups in the league. Brees and Michael Thomas have one of the strongest connections in football. If Kamara can return to form, New Orleans will also feature one of the top run games in the NFL.
