Spencer Rattler and Saints passing game must make more plays vs. 49ers

New Orleans faces a tough test as Spencer Rattler and a battered offense host San Francisco. With Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau, Trevor Penning, and potentially Taliese Fuaga sidelined, the Saints must push a more efficient passing game and smarter play design to avoid an 0-2 start.

For fantasy managers, focus on Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara as the trio most likely to produce targets and yards if the Saints unlock play-action and get the ball into space. San Francisco’s defense remains elite up front and in coverage, so protection and precision from Kellen Moore and Rattler will be pivotal for any redemption day in week 2.

Which Saints pass-catchers are best positioned to exploit SF's corners if Rattler can deliver on downfield throws?How does the Saints' run game design help protect Rattler and open up play-action against SF's edge pressure?What matchup notes from SF's defense could unlock big fantasy days for Rashid Shaheed or Chris Olave?If Alvin Kamara returns to form, what fantasy impact would be expected against a 49ers defense that has a strong pass rush?
