Alvin Kamara An RB2 Option In Week 18

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara handled a heavy rushing workload again in Sunday's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Avoid Saints Defense This Weekend

The New Orleans Saints defense has been a contributing factor to the two-game win streak that the team is on, having not allowed more than 20 points since Week 9 against Baltimore.

Do Not Play Wil Lutz In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has not converted a field goal above 40 yards since the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Juwan Johnson Remains Touchdown-Dependent

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson disappointed fantasy managers in last week's win over Cleveland, hauling in just one reception for nine yards.

Chris Olave A WR3 Candidate If He Plays

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) missed out on last week's game against Cleveland but returned to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday.

Alvin Kamara Could Struggle In Week 17
