New Orleans D/ST A Strict Avoid Against Falcons

The New Orleans Saints D/ST didn't do much for fantasy managers in Week 9 against one of the league's worst teams. Last week they allowed 23 points to Carolina and could muster just one sack and a single interception against the Panthers. This doesn't bode well for Sunday's matchup against the high-flying offense of the […]

Blake Grupe A Decent Choice For Week 10

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in Week 9. Grupe got off to an early start, hitting tries from 29 and 31 yards out in the first quarter, and then nailed a 51-yarder in the third. He also converted his lone extra point attempt on the day. To date, […]

Juwan Johnson Lacks Upside In Week 10

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson tied for the second most receiving yards on the team in Week 9 against the Panthers. Sadly, all he needed for that distinction was 41 yards.

Taysom Hill In Line For Increased Role

Alvin Kamara Set For Another Heavy Workload

Running back Alvin Kamara was the primary beneficiary of the New Orleans Saints offense being depleted by injuries in Week 9.

With multiple receivers out, including an early exit by Chris Olave (concussion), Kamara's ability as a […]

Derek Carr A QB2 Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr returned to action in Week 9 after an oblique injury sidelined him for the previous three weeks.

His first touchdown came in the third quarter and brought the Rams' within three points of their division rivals. The second score came in overtime and won the game […]

Cooper Kupp Has 100-Yard Day Against Seattle

It is safe to say that the high ankle sprain that kept Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp sidelined for five weeks (including a bye) is no longer an issue. In the Rams' 26-20 win over the Seahawks on Sunday the wide receiver had 11 catches on 14 targets for 104 yards, leading the […]

Matthew Stafford Throws Game-Winning TD In Overtime

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 25 of his 44 pass attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Foster Moreau Catches TD Pass Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau had just one catch in Week 9 but it was good for a 17-yard touchdown. His only other target was another shot in the end zone that came in too low for Moreau to secure. Moreau's effort on his score in the fourth quarter was impressive. The 250-lb […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Tagged As Questionable

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (hip) logged a DNP to start the week followed by a pair of limited practices on Thursday and Friday.

Alvin Kamara Cleared For Week 9
