New Orleans finally finding wins won't stop the Saints from shopping at the trade deadline. Kamara and Olave are pegged as top trade candidates as the club leans into a rebuild, while Miller’s ascent hints Kamara’s days in New Orleans may be numbered. Kamara’s $18M, one-year remaining deal heightens the value proposition for a contender, and Miller’s Week 5 workload—surpassing Kamara in carries and yards—adds fuel to the speculation that the backfield will be retooled this season.

The Saints’ win over the Giants did little to slow the rebuilding narrative, with Miller emerging as the likely future engine behind the offense and Olave remaining a valuable asset who could fetch a strong return. Loomis’ track record suggests New Orleans will push for maximum value now rather than wait for a return to competitiveness, making deadline moves plausible in a year focused on long-term growth.

In short, Kamara’s trade value, Miller’s breakout, and Olave’s market standing combine to create a high-stakes trade environment in New Orleans, where the Saints balance competing now with rebuilding for the future.

Kamara has a golden matchup as New Orleans leans on the run against a Giants defense that has struggled to stop ground games. Kamara and rookie Kendre Miller are poised to share work, boosting the floor for Week 5. In the same slate, Ertz faces a Chargers pass defense led by Derwin James, with Washington missing top receivers, likely capping Ertz’s ceiling. The prop tool highlights these as two of the sharpest Week 5 bets in a favorable clash between run-friendly zones and a defense-heavy matchup.

Expect Kamara to find steady work and explosive opportunities against a weak Giants rush defense, while Ertz’s output will hinge on how Derwin James shadows tight ends and how the Commanders’ injury context reshapes target distribution. The bets blend clear matchup advantages with clear paths to both floors and ceilings in volatile Week 5 action.

Week 5 pivots hinge on Miller’s rising Saints role as Kamara’s workload thins, while Spears returns to a Titans offense still sputtering. Tucker’s upside behind White in TB is limited against Seattle, and Miller’s Week 5 matchup versus the Giants offers the clearest upside among the trio. Kamara’s volatility keeps him in play only if volume spikes align with favorable game scripts.
