New Orleans Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (rib) and Juwan Johnson (shoulder) were both limited participants during practice on Wednesday.

Vikings Defense Worth Starting Against Rams
The Minnesota Vikings defense should be inserted into most fantasy lineups ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Los Angeles Rams.
