Saints vs Giants projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 5

October 5, 2025 | by ltcinsuranceshopper

The New Orleans Saints have lost all four games this season and have only won once in 11 games. However, their last win in the league came against the New York Giants, the same team they will face this week.

Jaxson Dart made his pro debut last week and helped the Giants defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 21-18 in a fierce game for their first victory of the season. They will now attempt to keep that momentum going against the winless Saints on Sunday at Caesars Superdome.

Unfortunately for the Giants, impressive second-year receiver Malik Nabers won’t play again this season after tearing his ACL in Week 4. They will continue to rely on Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton to lead their passing offense this week and for the rest of the year.

Let’s see below what the Giants and Saints’ projected starting lineups for their Sunday afternoon matchup look like.
