New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hand) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints will also be missing defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf), linebacker Peter Werner (hamstring), linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder). Rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo stepped up in the big Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers, and Bradley Roby is expected to draw the start in his first game with the Saints on Sunday. It's a capable cornerback duo, but there's no question that the Saints secondary will take a step back with their top corner, Lattimore, not active. The Saints defense/special teams is a popular starting option in Week 2 after they completely shut down the Packers offense in Week 1, but they'll also be a bit more vulnerable on the back end against Carolina.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
