This week, the Cleveland Browns take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 of the NFL regular season. Our position-by-position evaluation and game prediction are below.
The Browns are actually 2-1 against Drew Brees, having won the last two matchups against him.
Nonetheless, it is always a tough task to hold Brees and the Saints’ offense in check. Even in defeat last week, Brees completed 82.2% of his passes for 439 yards and 3 touchdowns.
He gets rid of the ball quick and takes minimal sacks. Even at age 39, he remains one of the league’s best passers.
It was not the best debut for Tyrod Taylor from a passing perspective, but I am perfectly fine with giving him a pass due to the weather conditions.
This week is in a dome, though, against a defense that was just shredded by Ryan Fitzpatrick a week ago. Fitzpatrick also had 12 runs for 36 yards and a touchdown last week, and we know the type of mobility that Taylor has.
Running Back
Alvin Kamara is one of the most explosive running backs in the NFL. He came on strong as a rookie last year, averaging 6.1 YPC as the “backup" to Mark Ingram, but he also added 81 catches for 826 yards.
This year, Ingram is suspended, so the Saints are going to ride Kamara even more so in the early parts of the season.
He was limited to 8 carries last week, but the shootout nature of the game dictated that.
He still had 2 rushing touchdowns to go along with 9 catches for 112 yards (and another touchdown).
Here is a fun stat for you: Isaiah Crowell did not reach 20 carries in a single game all of last year.
In his first game with Cleveland, Carlos Hyde was given 22 carries. Even though his average was just 2.8 yards per carry, I thought he was fine and should be in for more success against the Saints.
Using Duke Johnson’s quickness as a receiving option has to be one of the team’s biggest priorities this week, especially with Josh Gordon being ruled out.
Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn, two former Ohio State products.
Thomas already had two very good seasons under his belt with Drew Brees, but looked especially locked in last week when he caught 16-of-17 targets for 180 yards and 1 touchdown (although he did have a fumble). Ginn’s speed hasn’t diminished at 33 years of age.

The past three years, between Carolina and New Orleans, he has consistently been a 750-yard, 5-touchdown type of receiver.
3rd round pick Tre’Quan Smith only played 12 snaps (without a catch) last week, so don’t expect him to be too involved.
Cameron Meredith will be the team’s slot receiver if Sean Payton deems him healthy enough to play this week; otherwise, Austin Carr would fill that role. Benjamin Watson is New Orleans’ tight end, and he can still go at age 37.
He was a Browns killer last year for Baltimore, catching 12 passes for 165 yards and 1 touchdown in 2 games against his former club.
One of the exciting elements leading up to this week (and every week) is thinking about the team getting Josh Gordon involved in the action.
All of a sudden on Saturday, after not having been on the injury report all week, the team downgraded him to “OUT" with a hamstring injury.
