The New Orleans Saints are set to return Michael Thomas, David Onyemata, Wil Lutz, and other very important pieces soon after this week's bye week. What kind of impact with they each have? Michael Thomas allows the team to extend drives, and helps to deliver in an area of the field the Saints and Jameis Winston have not produced steadily so far this season.
David Onyemata brings the presence of a top-5 pass rusher back to the Saints interior line, thus generating better pressure on opposing QBs and opening up opportunities for other players around him. Cam Jordan, Marcus Davenport (when he returns), Payton Turner, and Carl Granderson should all see benefit from Onyemata's long-awaited season debut.
Wil Lutz, recently injured players like Deonte Harris and Taysom Hill, Erik McCoy, Terron Armstead, Nick Vannett, Kwon Alexander, and others all have the chance to return over the next few weeks following the Saints' bye. This will allow the team to carry more depth, and improve in all areas, even where they've already performed well through the first quarter of the season.
