Pete Werner reclaims the top spot in our Saints player power rankings going into Week 10
We’re on to Week 10 of the NFL regular season, and time seems to be flying by for the New Orleans Saints. It’s a good time to update our weekly Saints player power rankings after their hard-to-watch loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. With their next game coming up this Sunday, we’ll refresh the list of the 25 best players on the team right now.
This week’s biggest riser is linebacker Kaden Elliss (climbing 7 spots), who filled in for Werner after the starter left with an injury. But tight end Juwan Johnson (6 spaces) and starting safety Tyrann Mathieu (5 spots) are right there with him as players climbing the board this week. We’ve got two new entrants, too, in wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith (No. 25, his first appearance on the list all season) and tight end Adam Trautman (at No. 22), who returns after missing time with an injury.
As for the fallers: quarterback Andy Dalton dropped 5 spaces in our Saints player power rankings, with defensive end Marcus Davenport falling 3 spots. There was some other minor shuffling on the list with wide receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry falling out of the top 25 after missing more time with injuries, among some other tweaking, but those were the notable declines.
So let’s take a deeper look at the full list. Here’s your Week 10 Saints player power rankings
