Saints star is off to an underwhelming start in the first month of the season

Outside of Spencer Rattler and Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans Saints offense has struggled to find consistent contributors. Chris Olave has gotten off to a disappointingly slow start, surrounding concerns for an already struggling offense.

The Saints are ranked as the 2nd worst team in football through the first quarter of the season, ahead of only the Tennessee Titans. Scoring has been a challenge, as the offense is averaging just 16.5 points per game.

A big part of that is the lack of connection between Rattler and Olave.
