Saints MLB Jonathan Vilma (knee) is listed as doubtful for Week 3. Vilma experienced several knee problems early in his career, so we wonder if this is a long-term concern. Regardless, it's another potential matchup boost for Ben Tate. The Saints list Jo-Lonn Dunbar as their backup middle linebacker.

The Times-Picayune confirms that Jonathan Vilma remains locked in as the Saints' starting middle linebacker. Vilma hasn't missed a game during his three-year career with the Saints and has over 100 tackles in each season. He's now 29 and his solo tackles dropped to 70 last year, but the cliff here isn't too steep. Vilma is a low-upside, but safe IDP pick. He will be backed up by Jo-Lonn Dunbar.
