Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli noted, the Saints have gone through a series of older, retread backs in their pursuit of an experienced backup for McAllister. In Bennett, the Saints have landed a back with big-play potential, a player with tremendous long speed, one who could be a terrific complement to McAllister, if he is healthy.
