3. Terry McLaurin and J.D. McKissic will fill up the stat sheet against New Orleans

With 167 receiving yards, three touchdowns, and 11 receptions between them during last weekend's down-to-the-wire match-up against the Falcons, Terry McLaurin and J.D. McKissic were crucial in helping Washington successfully pull off the comeback win. Looking to do more damage against the Saints secondary in Week 5, McLaurin and McKissic will give the Saints D all kinds of headaches and create a ton of work for them.
