Chris Olave has notched far fewer air yards this season (65.0 per game) than he did last season (125.0 per game).

As it relates to protecting the passer (and the influence it has on all passing offense metrics), the offensive line of the Saints grades out as the worst in football this year.

With a terrible total of 2.38 yards after contact (5th percentile) this year, Alvin Kamara stands among the worst running backs in the NFL.
