New Orleans Saints SS Kenny Vaccaro was returned to the slot in nickel packages in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, and he thrived during the team's impressive win. He played 70% of the defensive snaps in the game and also played on all four special teams for the first time in his career. "My favorite thing to do is, 'You guard him, lock him down.' Or, 'You shoot that gap,'" Vaccaro said. "That's what I'm really good at. You tell me to lock somebody down, they ain't catching the ball." CB Terrence Frederick made his starting debut in the game, and CB Patrick Robinson moved to dime packages with CB Corey White inactive.

New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff are experimenting with FS Malcolm Jenkins and FS Kenny Vaccaro working as their primary nickel cornerback. Vaccaro has taken a majority of the first-team snaps in practice recently while working as the primary nickel corner. "When you look at Malcolm Jenkins, when you look at Kenny Vaccaro, what you see is safeties that have feet similar to a corner and have ability to go in the slot and cover the guy as well as not hinder us in being able to stop the run," McGriff said.

The Dallas Cowboys were hopeful of landing Texas SS Kenny Vaccaro (Saints) or DT Sheldon Richardson (Jets) with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but those players are gone. They are not trying to trade down, with the Atlanta Falcons, and perhaps the San Francisco 49ers, as potential trade partners.

The New Orleans Saints selected Texas S Kenny Vaccaro with the 15th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Tip: He's a playmaker who could produce takeaways, making him an IDP stab. But Rob Ryan's system doesn't always provide many opportunities for fantasy points in the secondary, and the Saints' D as a whole still needs to rebuild before being a team worth considering for your lineup.
