Using Week One to Jumpstart the 2026 Season is a must for these New Orleans Saints!
We look to bring a season preview through the core part of the breakdown, winning in week one changes the pace of the season and can make or break the possibility of a playoff year. Tyler Shough moves into the role of Franchise QB following his captain designation from the team during the week’s preparations. To further the excitement it appears that following the practice reports from the week Alvin Kamara will have a strong chance to play in week one adding depth in the RB room that will lack Audric Estime in week one. Prior to looking at this week's match ups we provide a full rundown of the schedule establishing the floor and ceiling for the 2026 New Orleans Saints.

Now with a match up against another young team facing them the Saints will look to get a win in the Dome and find out more as injuries and position battles set the tone going into preseason week 2.

Saints Take Kelvin Banks Jr @ 9! The O-Line strengthens but QB plans remain Unknown...
The Saints have made their 1st Round Selection in the 2025 NFL Draft with Texas Offensive Tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. The former Lombardi Award (top OL) & Outland Trophy (top OL/DL) winner will solidify the tackles as the saints select the position in consecutive years.
While a Quarterback was not selected the rest of the league was in a similar mindset as only two QBs would come off the board in round one. Will the Saints take players such as Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Shough or Jalen Milroe? Or, is the theme of filling needed gaps elsewhere the primary focus for Mickey Loomis and Kellen Moore.

The Saints were good in Week 1 but is this team actually great?
With many promises coming over the off season about changes to the offense it was yet to be seen during preseason if any of them would be kept. However, The Saints would put together a complete and dominant victory with control of the defensive and offensive flows. While not being a huge yardage game Derek Carr’s performance came in with his highest passer rating as a Saint carving the Carolina secondary.
The confidence gained will play a big factor as the Saints prepare for Dallas on Sunday. With a rise in quality of competition the big numbers put up against Carolina could be the baseline to fine the reality of where this team is.
