1. RB Chuba Hubbard: 81.52. TE Ja'Tavion Sanders: 78.93. QB Bryce Young: 77.84. TE Ian Thomas: 77.05. WR Jalen Coker: 70.4

Hubbard led the way with efficiency, rushing for 72 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Sanders also made the most out of his opportunities, reeling in four catches for a game- and career-high 87 receiving yards.

Young's 77.8 overall offensive grade is the third-highest of his career in a start.

14. WR David Moore: 57.315. RT Taylor Moton: 55.116. WR Jonathan Mingo: 53.117. RG Robert Hunt: 50.818. WR Deven Thompkins: 50.2

Moton's 55.1 mark is a season-low for the eighth-year hog molly. Although he allowed zero pressures of Young, he was saddled with a team-low 47.9 run-blocking grade.

1. CB Dane Jackson: 81.22. CB Mike Jackson: 78.83. CB Jaycee Horn: 72.64. OLB Jadeveon Clowney: 70.35. DL Jonathan Harris: 69.4

Just like in Week 1, Horn was not targeted a single time by Saints quarterback Derek Carr.

Jackson (Mike), meanwhile, was thrown at four times. But he allowed only one reception for 10 yards and a passer rating of 39.6.
