Commanders Defense Viewed As Top Option Against Depleted Saints Offense
6 mins agoThe Washington Commanders defense should be viewed as a high-end streaming option facing a depleted New Orleans Saints offense. With Derek Carr (hand/concussion) banged up, the Saints are turning to Jake Haener to operate as the QB1. Haener will have a difficult task ahead of him as his top wide receivers, Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee), and tight end Taysom Hill (knee) will not be available. The Saints have also not scored more than 14 points in each of their past two games. In addition, the Commanders will welcome four-time Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore to their starting lineup. In their previous game, the Commanders tallied two sacks and allowed 19 points to the Tennessee Titans. Given New Orleans' struggles, the Commanders should be poised for a nice showing and have a clear path to a top-5 finish this weekend.
