Actually, his role changed quite a bit over that stretch.

He was only targeted three times over the five games with Teddy at QB. He averaged close to two targets per game in the other games.

He averaged two runs per game with Teddy.

The greatest difference was on special teams.

In the five games with Teddy (7, 4, 5, 6, 9 ST snaps).

In the other eleven games (23, 23, 19, 24, 19, 23, 25, 31, 17, 29, 23).

Regardless of what Payton says, I would be shocked if his role wasn't greatly diminished if he was truly the #2 QB. There had better be at least a #2b on game day.

Well, one explanation on the lower targets might be that we threw more with Brees on the field than Teddy, and 2 carries is right around what he averaged. I agree with you that we won't see him as much, especially in the slot or at TE or FB.
He adds a dimension on punts (both sides) but he doesn't need to be on either KO team, especially with 10 games inside domes where returns are a rarity
