Chris Olave Questionable To Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 action on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quad/personal) missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to full practice on Friday and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets and Avoids

Does anyone in the AFC want to claim a playoff spot? Nearly all teams in the hunt lost this weekend. The Chargers took care of business though by beating the Colts and clinching a playoff berth.

Should I Pickup Jelani Woods For Fantasy Football Week 17? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Indianapolis Colts have not given fantasy football managers much to cheer about in 2022, and that is an understatement. Undisputed No. 1 fantasy running back Jonathan Taylor finished with almost 1,000 fewer rushing yards than he did when he won the rushing crown in 2021, and his season is over thanks to an ankle […]

Chris Olave Puts In Another Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. The 22-year-old first-rounder didn't practice at all last week and missed the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, he's back on the field this week and looks primed to return to […]

Alvin Kamara Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) was out of practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Kamara's status for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles is now firmly in question, so it will be interesting to see if he returns to the practice field on Friday. The Saints would be […]

The tight end position is always frustrating to navigate, but fantasy managers who made it to the championship round of the fantasy football playoffs will have to do it one more time.

Avoid Saints Defense This Weekend

The New Orleans Saints defense has been a contributing factor to the two-game win streak that the team is on, having not allowed more than 20 points since Week 9 against Baltimore. Despite the hot stretch, it has not always translated to fantasy points, as they have only forced four turnovers in the last six […]

Do Not Play Wil Lutz In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has not converted a field goal above 40 yards since the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Rams. With the Saints' offense struggling and the Philadelphia Eagles' defense soaring, this could be another tough outing fantasy-wise for Lutz. Philadelphia has surrendered the fourth-least amount of points to the […]

Taysom Hill Could See Less Usage In Week 17

New Orleans Saints tight end/gadget player Taysom Hill enjoyed a solid outing in Week 16, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Hill saw increased rushing usage due to the inclimate temperatures that the game was being played in. This week, the Saints go on the road to play the Philadelphia Eagles. […]

Juwan Johnson Remains Touchdown-Dependent

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson disappointed fantasy managers in last week's win over Cleveland, hauling in just one reception for nine yards. Johnson can be thrust into lineups this week as a touchdown-dependent play given that he has seven scores since Week 7. The matchup this week is not intriguing, as Philadelphia has […]

Rashid Shaheed Faces Tough Matchup In Week 17

New Orleans Saints rookie receiver Rashid Shaheed has led the offense in receiving metrics over the last few weeks. The Saints have looked for ways to get the ball into the hands of the 24-year-old speedster, who has stepped into a WR2 role in the offense. Shaheed draws a tough matchup this week against an […]

Chris Olave A WR3 Candidate If He Plays

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) missed out on last week's game against Cleveland but returned to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday. This return is a step in the right direction for the rookie, as he did not practice all last week prior to missing the game. If he is good to […]

Alvin Kamara Could Struggle In Week 17

New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara scored his first touchdown since Week 8 in last weekend's win over Cleveland. The 27-year-old could return to his struggling ways on fantasy championship weekend against an Eagles defense allowing the 14th least points to running backs. The Eagles have limited weak offenses all season long, and […]

Stay Away From Andy Dalton In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton will lead the team on the road in Philadelphia in a must-win game to keep playoff hopes alive. Dalton and the Saints are coming off of two straight wins, but winning in Philly against the top team in the league is a tall task. The veteran signal caller went […]

The Saints have underachieved in 2022, but it […]

Chris Olave Puts In A Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Olave was unable to practice all of last week and was held out of the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. The fact that the 22-year-old first-round is already back at practice early this week is […]

Alvin Kamara Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Kamara's injury isn't believed to be serious, so it's likely that he's just getting a personal rest day to begin the practice week. If he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll likely suit up in […]
