And if either one of them miss any time then we've got a top flight backup waiting to go.

Every NFL team's non-QB MVP heading into 2023 season

From the article above:

New Orleans Saints: WR Michael Thomas

(Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports)

The 2019 AP Offensive Player of the Year hasn’t seen a full season since that year, and he’s played in just 10 games over the last three seasons. When Thomas is on the field, he’s still a dynamic game-wrecker, but coming into his age 30 season, it’s time to wonder if this is the new normal. Thomas is the Saints’ most valuable non-quarterback because of what he adds to the offense in his presence, and what is reduced in his absence.

New Orleans got a great receiver in Chris Olave with the 11th pick in the 2022 draft, and Olave has a lot of the traits of a true No. 1 receiver, but Thomas is more of a “Planet Theory” guy when healthy – there just aren’t many people on Earth who stand 6-foot-3, weigh 213 pounds, and have Thomas’ lethal combination of downfield speed, physicality, and route mastery. If Thomas is on the ball for the 2023 season, he and Olave could combine to give free-agent addition Derek Carr his best season to date – and the Saints’ first playoff appearance since 2020. — Doug Farrar, Touchdown Wire

After this season, I hope we at the very least answer the question of whether Dennis Allen is the right coach. I don't want him to lead us somewhere just enough where we give him another year despite him being mediocre. I'm very confident in this roster now. I feel like if he can't win with it, he never will win.

Vince Lombardi couldn't have won with all of the injuries we dealt with last season.

Did we get new strength and conditioning and nutritionists staff? I didn't keep up.

I hear you hitta. I want him to come out swinging with the knock out punch! If he fails, then I want him to go down in a blaze and garner us a top pick from each round in 2024. I don't want him fired at midseason though. He is a great defensive mind that I don't want to lose midway through the season, and I don't know who we have inhouse that can replace him anyway.
