There’s a lot of potential in the New Orleans Saints’ “triplets,” a combination of their quarterback (Jameis Winston), their running back (Alvin Kamara), and their top wide receiver (Michael Thomas). But there are a lot of questions surrounding them, too, especially focused on their availability. Between injuries and looming suspensions it could take some time before all three players are on the field together playing their best football.
It’s enough to tank the Saints’ ranking among their peers, with CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin slotting them in at No. 17 — just below average around the league. Here’s what he wrote of the placement:
“Our last team to finish with a below-average ranking is one of the most confusing in the league. Winston was all high-risk, high-reward in Tampa, but was extremely low-risk, high-efficiency (on ridiculously low volume) prior to his injury last year. Will he be able to maintain that style without Sean Payton calling plays? That’s an open question. Will Kamara be suspended? Will Thomas get back on the field? If not, can Chris Olave be a No. 1 receiver right away?”
