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.

Cooper Kupp Has 100-Yard Day Against Seattle

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 […]
