Juwan Johnson Draws Low-End TE1 Appeal In Week 13

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has battled injuries for most of the 2023 season, but is now one of the lone healthy pass catchers in New Orleans. Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (thigh), and Michael Thomas (ankle) are all banged up, with Olave looking like the only one of the trio with a […]

Lynn Bowden Could Step Up In Banged-Up Receiver Room

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden filled in for an injured Rashid Shaheed (thigh) last week, taking slot receiver snaps and factoring into the rushing game on two carries for 40 yards. With Shaheed logging back-to-back DNPs at practice this week, his status for Sunday is in doubt, meaning that Bowden could again see […]

A.T. Perry Warrants Flex Consideration In Deep Leagues

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has only been active in five games this season but has stepped into the starting outside receiver role with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve. Perry played 84% of snaps in Week 10 and caught his first career touchdown, and played 74% of snaps in Week 12 […]

Alvin Kamara In RB1 Territory, Should See Significant Week 13 Workload

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has paid off for fantasy managers who took a gamble on him in 2023, largely due to his significant volume. Kamara ranks second behind Christian McCaffrey in touches per game for running backs, averaging 21.6. He offers a safe weekly floor due to his passing game usage, which […]

Derek Carr Is A Low-End Streaming Option In Week 13

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has struggled in recent weeks, failing to throw for a touchdown in his last two games. Carr may be in for another tough outing in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions with his weapons banged up. Chris Olave (concussion protocol) has logged back-to-back limited practices, while Rashid Shaheed (thigh) […]

Juwan Johnson Briefly Leaves Game, Records Season-High 45 Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson briefly left Sunday's loss to Atlanta but returned and was needed after Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) did not return after suffering their own injuries. Johnson was targeted a season-high seven times, hauling in four receptions for 45 yards. Olave and Shaheed's injuries should be monitored […]

Taysom Hill Loses Fumble In Loss

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill was involved in the game plan both on the ground and through the air on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill rushed seven times for 26 yards while also catching two passes for 55 yards. Hill fumbled once, turning the ball over after a 10-yard rush. With weapons […]

Alvin Kamara Totals 119 Scrimmage Yards In Loss

Kamara carried the ball 15 times for 69 yards while adding four receptions on five targets for 50 receiving yards. Kamara again saw […]

Derek Carr Surpasses 300 Passing Yards In Loss

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr struggled to put together a touchdown drive on Sunday, falling 24-15 in Atlanta to the NFC South-leading Falcons. Carr completed 24-of-38 passes for 304 yards with an early red zone interception that was returned 92 yards for a touchdown by safety Jessie Bates III. Carr also fumbled in the […]

Blake Grupe Is A Week 12 Kicker Option

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe did not attempt an extra point and kicked only one field goal in Week 10 against Minnesota, good for his weakest fantasy output of the season. With New Orleans on bye in Week 11, Grupe was likely dropped in many leagues. Atlanta quietly allows the eighth-most fantasy points per […]

Saints D/ST Can Be Started In Week 12

The New Orleans Saints defense has been an up-and-down unit this season but is a safe start in a Week 12 matchup with an Atlanta Falcons team that has struggled to find an offensive identity and a trustworthy quarterback. Desmond Ridder, who has turned the ball over 12 times in 2023, will be under center […]

Juwan Johnson Is A Dart-Throw Option In Week 12

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has had a disappointing season to date, but could begin to see an uptick in usage with Michael Thomas (knee) placed on injured reserve. Johnson saw three targets in the absence of Thomas in Week 10 on a 76% snap count but failed to do much with the […]

Taysom Hill Remains Low-End Tight End Option

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill had been on a four-week streak of 12+ PPR points before a Week 10 dud against Minnesota, proving that he is a volatile option at the position. While Hill still saw four targets in the loss, his rushing upside was severely capped with just a single rushing attempt. […]

A.T. Perry In Starting Consideration In Deep Leagues

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry is now third on the depth chart behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve. The rookie impressed in Week 10 with a high-point catch in the end zone, playing 84% of the snaps and making his first two career catches. Perry […]

Rashid Shaheed Can Be Considered Flex Option In Week 12

New Orleans Saints second-year wide receiver Rashid Shaheed can be considered as a flex option in Week 12. With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, Shaheed should see an uptick in playing time and targets. In Week 10 when Thomas exited the game early, Shaheed saw a career-high nine targets. The speedy receiver has made […]

Chris Olave Looks To Extend Touchdown Streak In Week 12

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has scored a touchdown in two straight games after having just one through the first eight weeks of the season. Olave will look to extend that streak against the divisional rival Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. Atlanta is allowing the 22nd most fantasy points per game to opposing […]

Alvin Kamara Should Continue To See Heavy Volume

New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara has dominated backfield touches since his Week 4 return from suspension. Kamara should continue to see both rushing and receiving volume in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons in a marquee divisional matchup. The veteran back has averaged 99 scrimmage yards per game and has scored three […]

Taysom Hill Sees Limited Usage In Week 10 Loss

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill was seldom involved in Week 10's loss to Minnesota. The veteran gadget player only carried the ball once, gaining six yards. He was targeted four times, grabbing two receptions for 17 yards. Given that New Orleans was playing from behind, Hill's rushing usage was capped as the team […]

Rashid Shaheed Draws Nine Targets In Loss

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed tied for the team lead in targets, drawing nine against Minnesota in Week 10. Shaheed hauled in just five of the passes for 24 yards, making minimal impact in the absence of Michael Thomas (knee). The speedy second-year receiver would warrant more consideration in fantasy lineups if Thomas […]

A.T. Perry Logs First Career Catches, Touchdown

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry filled in nicely for the injured Michael Thomas (knee) in Week 10's loss to Minnesota. Perry was targeted four times, hauling in two catches for 38 yards and a touchdown in which he made an impressive grab in the end zone on a dart from quarterback Jameis […]

Chris Olave Shines In Loss

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave strung together another promising showing in Week 10's loss to Minnesota. The smooth second-year receiver tied for the team lead in targets (nine), hauling in six receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown. Olave has now scored a touchdown in two straight games, riding momentum from a fantasy […]

Alvin Kamara Tallies Seven Receptions In Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara paced the team on the ground again on Sunday, although due to poor game script, the Saints only ran the ball 15 total times in the Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Kamara took nine totes for 42 yards, busting off a long run of nine yards. […]

Jameis Winston Falls Short In Comeback Attempt

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston replaced an injured Derek Carr (concussion, shoulder) in the third quarter of Sunday's loss against Minnesota. Winston ignited the offense, immediately pioneering a touchdown drive after being inserted into the game. The veteran ended up completing 13-of-25 passes for 122 yards with two scores and two interceptions in the […]

Saints Defense A Decent Option In Week 10

The New Orleans Saints defense strung together a solid fantasy outing in Week 9 against Tyson Bagent's Chicago Bears. The team allowed 17 points, sacked Bagent twice, and forced five turnovers (two fumbles, three interceptions). This week, New Orleans heads on the road to take on a surging Minnesota Vikings team under the leadership of […]
