Saints' second-round draft pick Devery Henderson will return kickoffs and punts this season. Head coach Jim Haslett told the Associated Press that Henderson will also be given the opportunity to win one of the starting receiver jobs. "Obviously, you can see the great speed, and he can block and play special teams," Haslett said over the weekend. "We're going to try him at kick-returner, and we had him catching punts. He was pretty smooth, pretty natural doing that. Devery has the ability to do whatever he wants to do. It's up to him. We're going to play the best players." The Saints selected Henderson in the second round of the draft with the No. 50 overall pick.

Veteran Joe Horn is the only Saints' receiver who is considered a lock to be in the starting lineup on opening day. Haslett was not happy with the play of Jerome Pathon or Donte Stallworth last season, which could open the door for Henderson to earn a starting job as a receiver. In addition to the top three receivers, Henderson will also compete with Michael Lewis, Germane Crowell, Talman Gardner, and Derrick Lewis for playing time. It will be difficult to determine Henderson's fantasy prospects until the team determines whether he will be a starting receiver this season.
