New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave finally paid off for fantasy managers in Week 9 as he grabbed just his second touchdown of the season.

Blake Grupe Is A Viable Week 9 Option

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe has been a consistently solid kicker option this season, currently ranked eighth in fantasy points.

Jamaal Williams Slated To Work In Behind Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams has played a secondary role to Alvin Kamara since returning from the IR in Week 7, as he has averaged just six touches a game.
