There’s a lot of dirty hands when it comes to the New Orleans Saints offense — between the quarterback, play caller, offensive line, and skills positions, there’s enough blame to go around. And these Pro Football Focus player grades highlight the worst offenders.
We’ve filtered out anyone who hasn’t logged more than 10% of the offensive snaps through the Saints’ first seven games, which means players like wide receiver Lynn Bowden (40.7 grade on 47 snaps through five games) and rookie offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri (52.1 grade on 18 snaps across three games) are not included. This does give us a better idea of how the players who are participating more often are performing.
With that said, here are the Saints’ bottom-10 PFF player grades on offense going into Week 8:
