What It Means:

Fields is still dealing with the dislocated thumb that has kept him sidelined the last couple games. While it seems as though he's close to returning to the field, that won't be here in Week 9. It'll be another start for Tyson Bagent with Nathan Peterman backing up.

Our models project Bagent for 178.7 yards, 0.8 touchdowns, 0.9 interceptions and 10.8 FanDuel points against a stingy Saints defense.
