Footballguys view: Baun is again mentioned as a candidate to move inside, which would add a lot of value to his IDP profile. Alonso and Anzalone have had trouble staying healthy throughout their careers, so Baun could be starting next to Demario Davis at some point this year. |

Saints | Alex Anzalone expected to start Thu Jul 12, 11:50 PM
New Orleans Saints LB Alex Anzalone will likely be the starting weakside linebacker this year, according to Herbie Teope of NFL.com.
Footballguys view: Anzalone has a chance to be relevant in IDP leagues if he can stay healthy - which has been a problem during his career. Demario Davis is probably the most valuable IDP linebacker in New Orleans, but Anzalone could be good competition to lead the team in tackles. |

Saints | Alex Anzalone confident in shoulder Sat Jun 2, 01:26 PM
New Orleans Saints LB Alex Anzalone (shoulder) said he is confident that his shoulder will no longer be an issue because of the surgery he underwent last year.
Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Florida in 2017, Anzalone has the size, speed and strength combination to play three different linebacker spots. His versatility is intriguing, but his problems staying healthy have always been a big concern. He suffered multiple shoulder injuries during college but believes the surgery helped. |
