Thursday Night Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

New Orleans Saints

Start: Drew Brees, Mark Ingram, Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks, Jimmy Graham

Sit: Pierre Thomas, Khiry Robinson, Travaris Cadet, Kenny Stills, Saints D/ST

The Carolina Panthers are in the bottom 10 against quarterbacks, bottom three against running backs and bottom five against wide receivers. This is a relative “start all” game for your Saints, forgetting the fact the Panthers slowed the Seattle Seahawks a few days ago. 

Carolina Panthers

Start: Cam Newton, DeAngelo Williams, Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen

If Williams play: Jonathan Stewart is a toss up

Sit: Jerricho Cotchery, Jason Avant, Panthers D/ST

Williams is expected to return, according to the Panthers official website.The passing game should have a much better day against the Saints, who are sixth worst against quarterbacks and fourth worst against wide receivers. Expecting a big game out of Newton, Benjamin and Olsen in this short turn around for the Saints D.
