With Drew Brees back, expect more of the same from the Saints: A hyper-efficient offense built around two of the best players in Fantasy. Emmanuel Sanders gives Brees a viable No. 2 wide receiver, but this is going to be the Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas show yet again. Why fix what isn't broken? ...

Number to know: 12

In 2019, Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray combined for 12 total touchdowns. In each of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons, Saints backs combined for at least 24 scores, and they totaled 18 in both 2014 and 2015, too. Taysom Hill's seven 2019 scores didn't help matters for Fantasy last year, but while his red-zone usage will likely remain, he's unlikely to back up his six receiving touchdowns on just 19 catches (or any rate resembling that). Even an optimistic Hill projection of four or five 2020 scores would suggest the combination of Kamara and Murray could add five or more touchdowns in 2020. That has negative implications for Drew Brees and players like Jared Cook, too.
