Ad Choices. Hill's strength is his running ability. He's a bulldozer between the tackles with great open field speed and rushed for yards and four scores as the starting quarterback in However, Hill is also dealing with a foot injury that relegated him to back-up duty the last two weeks and could affect his mobility.
When Hill does throw, the Saints may have issues in pass protection. New Orleans quarterbacks have been sacked 19 times this season, but heavily pressured in several games.
They'll also be without the league's best pair of tackles, Ramczyk and Armstead, for the third time in four games. Veteran James Hurst will take over one tackle spot.
Hurst is an adequate replacement, but has trouble with speed rushers and is better suited at guard. Eight-year journeyman Jordan Mills or former Buccaneer Caleb Benenoch will line up at the other edge. Without Kamara and Michael Thomas, the Saints have been exposed for having no other top-tier pass catchers. Their tight ends have a combined 39 receptions for yards and five touchdowns.
Nineteen tight ends through the league have individually equalled or bettered those numbers. Disappointing second-year TE Adam Trautman is on injured reserve. The Saints will mainly use them as extra, blockers, pass protectors, or check-down options.

Harris has a team-high yards on 27 receptions, scoring twice. Second-year WR Marquez Callaway has caught 27 passes for yards and a team-best 6 touchdowns.
Tre'Quan Smith is the Saints most experienced wideout. After missing the first portion of the year, Smith has 20 receptions for yards and 2 touchdowns. Smith Harris, and Callaway have shown that they aren't top quality wideouts, but receivers Kenny Stills, Ty Montgomery and Lil'Jordan Humphrey have had zero production behind them.
