Cons: Ryan Mallett is not considered among the better quarterbacks in the league.
New Orleans Saints –
Pros:
Cons: Very poor against top running backs over the past two years. The Saints ranked 30th in the NFL in DVOA against the top opposing WR last season. Allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wideouts since the start of last year.
Pittsburgh Steelers –
Pros:
Cons: One of the weakest pass defenses should have trouble against top quarterbacks.
