After the first two weeks of the season, New Orleans was 2-0 with a +62 point differential. Well, a lot's changed since then. The Saints are now stuck in a five-game losing streak and dealing with a ton of injuries on both sides of the ball. They've lost by double-digits in three straight with final deficits of 23 and 24 points in the past two games.
Back to the Saints' lengthy injury report. Derek Carr is still sidelined, so it's Spencer Rattler for at least one more week. He's struggled as the starter and has gotten sacked 11 times in two games. Last week, Rattler threw for just 172 yards on 35 attempts as the offense mustered only three total points until late in the fourth quarter.
Chris Olave sat out with a concussion and his status is up in the air this week. With Rashid Shaheed done for the year, the receiving corps severely lacks playmakers and trusted options for Rattler - especially if Olave sits again. On the offensive line, starting guards Cesar Ruiz and Nick Saldiveri are both questionable, while centers Connor McGovern and Lucas Patrick are banged up as well. The Saints offense is basically Alvin Kamara and not much else at this point.
It's hard to expect much from this injured and struggling offense on the road against the Chargers. Los Angeles is allowing a league-low 13.8 PPG this season while allowing just 295.8 total yards per game (7th in NFL). Jesse Minter's defense should cause issues for the rookie Rattler.
We've seen the Buccaneers and Broncos put up 51 and 33 points against the Saints in the past two weeks, respectively. Though the Chargers are only averaging 17.7 PPG themselves, they should have success and build a lead in this matchup. Greg Roman's run-focused offense can carve up a New Orleans run defense that's giving up 146.7 rushing yards per game (29th) and 5.4 yards per carry (31st).
On that note, J.K. Dobbins can rack up yards this week as Los Angeles' lead back. He has at least 96 yards in three of six games this season and should bounce back after being limited to only 40 yards on 14 carries last week. The Saints have allowed 80+ yards to five different backs in the past five games, including 100+ to three of those.
