Three Storylines to Watch

  • The return of Marcus Maye
    • Veteran safety Marcus Maye will return for suspension. He is expected to resume his role opposite Tyrann Mathieu. Jordan Howden's impressive play in his absence puts more pressure eon him, though. Maye needs to find success quickly, or Howden could overtake him in snaps down the road.
  • Olave bounce back game?
    • Chris Olave has made more mistakes than his usual self in the last two weeks. Even he would admit that. That being said, he remains a key part of the Saints offense, and they need to get him involved in unique ways against the Texans. 
  • D-Line dominance
    • The Saints' D-Line made huge pays in their big win last week. They were smothering, and now, they face a banged-up Texans O-Line playing in front of a rookie QB. Expect Dennis Allen to send plenty of pressure at C.J. Stroud. The defensive line should make a major impact once again.
