New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made all four field-goal attempts and both extra points in a 26-18 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoTre'Quan Smith Catches Two Passes
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith caught both of his targets for 14 yards in a 26-18 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Smith was a non-factor again and is simply not seeing enough opportunities to warrant any trust. He shouldn't be anywhere near a fantasy lineup when the San Francisco 49ers come to New […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoTed Ginn Fails To Catch A Pass
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was targeted once but failed to bring in any catches in a 26-18 Thanksgiving victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoMichael Thomas Held To 48 Receiving Yards
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught six of eight targets for 48 yards in a 26-18 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The All-Pro wideout registered his lowest output this year, mostly due to a dud by quarterback Drew Brees. It's also worth noting that the Saints threw the ball a season-low 30 times, […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) has a chance to suit up on Thanksgiving night.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoMarshon Lattimore Expected To Play
New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is expected to play on Thanksgiving night. The 23-year-old was limited in practice all week but is trending towards suiting up. Lattimore's presence would slightly downgrade Julio Jones (shoulder), who is also questionable, though Atlanta is optimistic about his status.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoSaints Defense Has Upside On Thanksgiving
The New Orleans Saints Defense will have a solid chance to put up fantasy points on Thanksgiving against the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off a one-interception, six-sack game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There is certainly some risk, especially in leagues that penalize for points scored. Still, look for New Orleans […]

Tim Capurso 5 years agoTre'Quan Smith Too Risky Against Atlanta
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is far too risky of an option to trust against the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoTed Ginn A Boom-Or-Bust Option Against Falcons
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn gets a good matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving. The problem is, the 34-year-old hasn't topped 50 receiving yards since Week 1 and has only two touchdowns this year.
