Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Tommy DeVito: DeVito has captured the hearts of many with three straight wins, two of which came on game-winning drives.
On Monday night, DeVito connected on 17-of-21 passes for 158 yards with a touchdown.
In DeVito’s four starts, he is completing 66.7% of his passes (seventh) for 6.9 yards per attempt (16th) with seven passing touchdowns to one interception.
DeVito has a 7.1% touchdown rate compared to a 4.1% leaguewide rate over that span.
He has only one QB1 scoring week over these four starts, but just one week lower than QB17 as well, floating as a viable QB2.
DeVito has thrown for 200 yards in just one game, so when the touchdown rate inevitably regresses, we are going to need more production to fall back on.
His one out has been he can run, but the rushing output has been inconsistent, rushing for 41, 7, 6, and 71 yards over his starts.
The Saints have been a stingy pass defense, especially at home.
Overall, they have allowed opposing passers to complete 57.3% of their passes (second) for 6.3 yards per attempt (third). They are fifth in passing points allowed per attempt (0.346).
