Top Reasons
(1) New Orleans has a subpar rushing defense of the sort I'd expect Deangelo to have success against(although they've been better the past 2 weeks).
(2) Stewart missed practice on Friday with illness and is listed as questionable. He'll play, but there's every reason to think a healthy Deangelo will get a clear majority of carries.
(3) Fox will run the holy hell out of the ball to keep the New Orleans offense off the field. Even if Deangelo shares carries 60/40, I'm projecting a minimum of 18 rushes and 3-4 receptions. That is easily enough touches for Deangelo to get an explosive play.
Against a more stingy defense, I'd give Stewart the goal line "puncher's chance" to outperform Deangelo. I'm not envisioning a lot of stingy goal line stands vs New Orleans.
18/95/1 TD rushing, 4/35/1 TD receiving
