Background
T.J. Paganetti enters his second campaign as the Saints' run game coordinator. The Bedford, Mass. native has 19 years of coaching experience, including 11 seasons in the NFL.
Scheme & Fantasy Angle
In his first season, Paganetti helped the run game improve in the back half of the year despite injuries at tailback, tight end and on the offensive line; over the final five games the Saints went 4-1, added nearly 13 rushing yards per game and tied for ninth in the NFL with six rushing touchdowns over that stretch.
