We are only a week or so into spring training but I’ve already bit the bullet on fantasy baseball drafts in 2025. I’m a few weeks (months, even) behind some of the industry sharps, but as someone who typically waits until the last week or so before the regular season opening, it feels good to […]

We are roughly halfway between the final out of the World Series and the first pitch of 2025's spring training, but for some, it is never too early to start thinking about the next baseball season.

Juwan Johnson Leads Saints Receivers In Season Finale

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson led the team in receptions and yards for the second week in a row in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished the day with six catches for 80 yards, beating the season-high he set just last week. With receiver Chris Olave (concussion) sidelined for […]

Dante Pettis Catches Touchdown In Loss

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Dante Pettis caught two of his six targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pettis was the only Saint to find the end zone in the season finale with the rest of New Orleans' points provided by the leg of kicker […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Leads Saints With 26 Rushing Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire needed all of 26 rushing yards to lead the team in the category in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He added another 14 yards on his only catch of the game. With Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) sidelined for the season finale, backfield […]

Spencer Rattler Up And Down Again In Season Finale

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finished his rookie season with another up-and-down performance in the team's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The fifth-rounder out of South Carolina went 21-for-28 in the first half, completing a pass to 10 different receivers and throwing a touchdown to Dante Pettis along the way. However, he […]

New Orleans D/ST Is A No-Go

The New Orleans Saints D/ST has flirted with fantasy relevance all season but the unit's inconsistencies have offered poor returns. The team had 12 turnovers in their first six games but only four since. After logging eleven sacks in their first three games, they needed another seven to match that amount. Removing their eight-sack performance […]

Blake Grupe Not A Good Option For Week 18

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was perfect in Week 17, hitting his lone extra point and a 34-yard field goal try. On the season he is 30-for-32 for extra point attempts and has converted 23 of his 27 field goal attempts. All of those misses have come from 40 yards out or further. Grupe […]

Foster Moreau A Dart Throw In Week 18

In a season where injuries have decimated the New Orleans Saints offense, tight end Foster Moreau finds himself as the team's unlikely leader in receiving touchdowns with five. Moreau has found the end zone twice in the last three weeks, most recently in Week 17 on an impressive 30-yard heave from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler. […]

Juwan Johnson Listed As Questionable For Week 18

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the slough of injuries that sapped the Saints of depth at wide receiver and running back, Johnson has mustered a […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Off Injury Report

After opening the week with a limited session, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) practiced in full for a second consecutive day and has no designation going into the team's Week 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 30-year-old was sidelined in Week 16 due to a combination of a back issue […]

Jamaal Williams Not Playable In Week 18

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams should see an uptick in usage in Week 18, with Kendre Miller (concussion) out and Alvin Kamara (groin) doubtful. That may not translate to fantasy value, though, as Williams has done little in the sporadic opportunities he has seen. In 13 games this season, Williams has 40 carries […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire To Play In Week 18

New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be active on Sunday, according to interim head coach Darren Rizzi. With Kendre Miller (concussion) out and Alvin Kamara (groin) doubtful, Edwards-Helaire should factor into the run game alongside Jamaal Williams as he did in Week 17. Last week, CEH led the team in rushing attempts with […]

Spencer Rattler An Easy Fade In Week 18

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler will get one more go under center in the regular season finale. Regular starter Derek Carr (hand) did not practice this week and will be held out of the team's final game. Last week, Rattler looked incredible for the first half, going 11-for-13 with a touchdown and his only […]

Foster Moreau Catches TD In Loss

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau caught three of his five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler hit Moreau in the end zone from 30 yards out to cap off a trick play that involved running back Kendre Miller at […]

Juwan Johnson Is Saints Leading Receiver In Loss

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson led the team in receptions, targets, and yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson had six catches for 66 yards on 10 targets, establishing new season-highs in each category. His big day could have been a lot bigger had it not been for some […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Leads Saints In Carries

New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire led the team in carries in Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Edwards-Helaire needed just five rushing attempts to accomplish the feat in a game where New Orleans all but abandoned the ground game, calling just four run plays in the entire second half. He finished with […]

Jamaal Williams Gets Three Touches In Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams had two carries for 12 yards and caught his lone target for 12 more yards through the air in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Williams was largely irrelevant despite the team designating Alvin Kamara (groin) out and losing fill-in starter Kendre Miller (head) to a […]

Spencer Rattler Throws Two Picks In Loss

It was a tale of two halves for New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Before halftime, Rattler was 11-for-13 with his only incompletions being a drop on his first pass attempt of the game and a throwaway at the end of the second quarter. In the […]

New Orleans D/ST Has Potential In Week 17

The New Orleans D/ST has offered little fantasy value for the majority of the season. The unit had a decent start to 2024, averaging 11 fantasy points per game over the first three weeks of the season but then didn't have another double-digit effort until Week 14 against the New York Giants. Another weak opponent […]

Blake Grupe A Risky Bet In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was blanked in Week 16. It wasn't that he missed any kicks, it was the fact that the offense was never in a position to get him on the field in a 34-0 shellacking at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. When Grupe last saw scoring opportunities, in […]
