As the New Orleans Saints prepare to face the Las Vegas Raiders in a dead-rubber NFL game on Sunday at the Superdome, our Saints Insider crew looks at some of the Saints we'd like to see more of in these final two weeks.

All that, plus our keys to the game and predictions for Saints vs. Raiders. #saints #whodat #raiders #nfl #nflweek17 #raidernation

The New Orleans Saints visit the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field for Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. That would be tough for any team in December. But this is a Saints team with Spencer Rattler and a bunch of backups on offense with not much left to play for against a Packers team that can clinch a playoff spot. Add it all up, and the Saints are underdogs of a historic level. How can they compete? We break it down on this episode of Saints Insider, along with comments on Chris Olave's return to practice and Clyde Edwards-Helaire's return to Louisiana. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #packers #gopackgo #nfl #nflweek16 #mnf

With Derek Carr likely out for the rest of the season with his broken hand, the New Orleans Saints likely will turn to Spencer Rattler to start the final three games.

Our Saints Insider crew of Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnists Rod Walker and Jeff Duncan break down the revolving door at quarterback and how the franchise can move forward. #saints #whodat #nfl #nflweek16 #packers #gopackgo

The New Orleans Saints will take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday at the Superdome in a game that doesn't lack for storylines. • It's Jake Haener's debut as a starting quarterback • It's Jayden Daniels' return to Louisiana after winning the Heisman at LSU • It's Marshon Lattimore's return to the Saints • It's a revenge game for Saints defensive lineman Chase Young • And Darren Rizzi (3-1 as interim coach) continues to try to make his case for the permanent job.

How will things go? And what's most important in deciding this one? Our Saints Insider crew of Matthew Paras, Luke Johnson, Jeff Duncan and Zach Ewing breaks it down.

The New Orleans Saints are playing it coy with their decision on a starting quarterback. They haven't officially ruled out starter Derek Carr, who left Sunday's win over the Giants with a broken hand and concussion. Could Carr actually play this week against Washington?
