Answering the Saints' biggest questions at the halfway point

The Saints have hit the half(ish) way point. Let's take stock of where they are

​ ​ ​

With Luke Johnson

Can these Saints make a run toward the playoffs? Just how big an issue is the Saints' receiver corps after a lackluster performance Sunday? Has Trevor Siemian shown enough the last two weeks to be the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future?

Our Saints beat crew took our best crack at answering those questions and a few more as the 2021 season reached its half(ish) way point. A hint: If we were given Saints GM powers for the day, we would all like to make a play for a certain star-crossed receiver who could soon be available.

(By the way, we should know by Tuesday afternoon whether a team placed a waiver claim on Odell Beckham).

Speaking of receivers, the Saints' most consistent pass catcher took another step toward resolving some legal troubles stemming from an offseason arrest. Our beat writer Amie Just has the scoop on what comes next for Deonte Harris in this report.

Just also put the loss to the Falcons to bed with her weekly snap-count analysis. This week, she focused on the players who made their way back from injury as well as a receiver group that is still trying to find its way.

Finally, if you want in on the action at the sports book, the Saints are early underdogs for their Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. Catch a roundup of those betting lines here.
