Does anyone remember when Tamme played for the Indianapolis Colts and had Peyton Manning as his quarterback? Can anyone recall what his best season was? I did not think so. To answer that question, Tamme has only gone over 200 receiving yards in a season twice in his 10 seasons. Last week against the Washington Redskins, Tamme finished the game with eight receptions for 94 yards, almost half way to that 200 yard threshold.

This week, the team may lack the weapons it needs to outscore the offensively-minded Saints. Stud WR Julio Jones is dealing with a lingering injury, even though he says he is going to play. Leonard Hankerson is dealing with an injury and fellow WR Roddy White is showing his age this season.

This could mean double-digit targets for Tamme. Do not be surprised if he sets a new career-high in receiving yards for a game this week. Matt Ryan enjoys airing the ball out and should have plenty of room to do so this week.

Prediction: 9 receptions, 115 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
