Michael Thomas

Outside of Michael Thomas, the pecking order for the rest of the Saints' wide receiver corps is one of the hardest to pin down in the entire NFL. Their preseason usage has offered little guidance. And Sean Payton said after Saturday's win at the Los Angeles Chargers:

"That depth chart is like written in chalk. It's not permanent ink."

Meredith is on the mend from surgery and remains a work in progress. The story said he has zero catches in the preseason. Ginn was called out twice for running the wrong route while Smith has been very exciting, but is still working on assignments and alignment. Carr, meanwhile, played ahead of Meredith in the slot and caught three passes for 38 yards.
