5 Saints players to watch vs. the Dolphins in Week 13

The Miami Dolphins will face a bottom-four team in the league Sunday when they meet the New Orleans Saints, who have a rookie quarterback in the starting lineup. That doesn't mean the Saints are without players who could cause problems for the Dolphins.

New Orleans still has a few talented offensive weapons putting up good numbers and a defense that ranks No. 11 in yards allowed.

Here are five New Orleans players to watch in Week 13:

QB Tyler Shough

The Saints' second-round rookie has appeared in five games this season and started their last three. As a starter, he's won only once, but has completed 68.1 percent of his passes with 701 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Shough will face a Dolphins' secondary that has played fairly well this season despite a slew of injuries.

RB Devin Neal

Veteran running back Alvin Kamara suffered a right MCL injury last week against the Atlanta Falcons and has missed practice this week, opening the door for rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal out of Kansas. In limited action this season, Neal has 61 rushing yards on 17 attempts, and has helped in the passing game, hauling in 12 of his 14 targets for 64 yards.

WR Chris Olave

The Saints' top weapon next to Kamara is wide receiver Chris Olave. He ranks ninth in the league with 69 receptions and No. 16 in yards with 734. He is tied for third in the NFL in targets, so expect Shough to look his way plenty Sunday.

TE Juwan Johnson

The Saints' second most productive pass-catcher this season has been tight end Juwan Johnson. The sixth-year vet is having his best season and needs just two receptions and 12 yards to set career-highs.

Johnson is averaging 48.8 yards per game and will face a Miami team that has allowed tight ends to perform well this season.

TE/QB/WR Taysom Hill

In eight seasons with the Saints, Hill has been utilized in a plethora of ways and scored as a rusher, receiver, and passer. In seven games played this season, he has 35 touches for 87 scrimmage yards, five pass attempts with one completion, and one rushing touchdown.

After Kamara's early exit Week 12, he ran the ball 10 times for only 17 yards, but picked up four first downs. Hill could be a chain mover and a player that may help the Saints stay on the field, even if doesn't load the stat sheet. When he is on the field, the Dolphins must account for him nonetheless.
