Saints with 5th best receiving corps in the NFL

The New Orleans Saints didn’t have much at wide receiver in 2018 beyond Michael Thomas. In 2019, it doesn’t look to be much better. There’s an aging Ted Ginn Jr., an injury concern (to say the least) in Cam Meredith, and a pair of second-year receivers who failed to sustain production last year in Keith Kirkwood and Tre’Quan Smith.

But, if you broaden the term “wide receiver” to be “pass catchers,” now you’re opening it up to tight ends - and arguably running backs as well. At tight end, the Saints have made a noticeable improvement from 2019, replacing the ancient Ben Watson with Pro Bowler Jared Cook.
