What to know about Saints vs. Chargers

The Chargers are coming off a convincing 34-17 victory over the Rams in their preseason opener, one in which they rolled up an impressive 214 yards on the ground. Undrafted free agent running back Elijah Dotson accounted for 92 of those yards on only six carries, breaking off a pair of long touchdown runs.

The Saints, under second-year head coach Dennis Allen, will likely lean heavily on Carr and wideouts Chris Olave and Michael Thomas this season -- especially with starting running back Alvin Kamara out for the first three games due to a suspension. In the Saints' 26-24 win over Kansas City last week, Olave didn't catch his only target and Thomas hauled in one pass for 16 yards in limited action.
