Tre'Quan Smith Uncertain For Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice throughout the week and is questionable to play on Sunday against Tampa. The 26-year-old didn't suit up in Week 1 after suffering the injury during the final game of the preseason. With Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, and Chris Olave in the […]

Jarvis Landry's Week 2 Fantasy Outlook

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry had a Week 1 to remember. As the guy for quarterback Jameis Winston, he will have the same opportunity in Week 2 to continue his run of efficient play. Getting a healthy eight targets and with 28 of his total snaps coming out of the slot, he is […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 2 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 1 began with the Bills handling the Rams on Thursday night. On Sunday, the excitement continued, with the Browns narrowly defeating Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers.

Chris Olave's Week 2 Fantasy Outlook

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave looks to take advantage of being the third option in what should be a high-scoring affair against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. After running the same percentage of routes as Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry, look for Olave to make the most of that time […]

Michael Thomas' Week 2 Fantasy Outlook

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is in a prime position to continue his bounce-back campaign after posting a healthy fantasy stat line in the Week 1 win against the Falcons. It was great to see, but what was different is that Thomas actually lined up out wide on 29 of his 35 passing-down […]

Week 2 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Week 1 was incredibly inconsistent for fantasy managers and analysts alike.

Down and Out in Dallas - Fantasy Outlook for the Cowboys Without Dak Prescott

Week 2 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

It was a decent start to the NFL season for me from a DFS prognostication standpoint. My Jalen Hurts-to-A.J. Brown advice was sound, Miami’s passing attack played well, Michael Thomas looked strong, and Saquon Barkley ended up exceeding expectations. However, none of my lineups had all the right pieces fit together, so I didn't have […]

Alvin Kamara Doesn't Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was present but not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media after he was limited in practice on Wednesday with a rib injury.

Mark Ingram II Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Saints recently added Latavius Murray to this running back room, so Ingram's limited availability may be a reason for that. In Week 1, the 32-year-old had four carries for 22 yards, one catch for one yard, and a lost fumble. If the […]
