Week 17 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Sometimes cliched expressions become cliches for a reason. We've all heard people say, "Do as I say, not do as I do." Well, it certainly applies to us this week. For two seasons I've been saying that we don't want to elevate mediocre or bad defenses just because of good matchups. We've talked about it […]

Mark Ingram II Questionable For Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He was added to the Saints injury report after being limited in practice this week with a knee issue. The 32-year-old is Saints star RB Alvin Kamara's top backup and logged four carries for 17 yards in […]

Tre'Quan Smith Out, Lil'Jordan Humphrey Questionable

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Receivers Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) were listed as questionable. Neither Humphrey nor Montgomery were able to practice on Friday, putting their status in question this weekend. The good […]

Brett Maher - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher isn't a strong option against Carolina in Week 17. The kicker has gone 9-for-10 in field goals and 7-for-8 in extra points in five games with the Saints. The offense for this team hasn't been consistently potent though and that means the opportunities Maher will see vary weekly. The […]

Saints Defense A Great Play Against Carolina In Week 17

The New Orleans Saints defense is a great play in Week 17. This unit has been quite stingy at times this season and has allowed 29 total points in the last three games. Meanwhile, Carolina has been dealing with QB issues and will now start Sam Darnold once again in Week 17. The QB has […]

Adam Trautman - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman isn't a strong start in Week 17. The TE has shown flashes of potential this season but it has been far from consistent. Last week, he managed a single reception for four yards on two targets. Carolina is somewhat stingy against fantasy tight ends, so it's best to […]

Deonte Harris - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is a flex option in Week 17. The WR was suspended for the previous three games and was placed on the COVID list this week but was able to get off Friday afternoon. Now, Harris will look to play a big role in an offense that is dealing […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is a deep-league flex, at best, in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Callaway has been posting better numbers recently, recording 46 yards last week and 112 in the week prior to that. Nevertheless, the wideout has been very inconsistent all season in a low-volume Saints pass attack. […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 option in Week 17. The New Orleans offense is currently dealing with a lot of injuries and there aren't many strong options, so Kamara could see more carries as a result. The back posted 52 rushing yards last week and has at least 50 […]

Taysom Hill - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in the streaming conversation as a low-end QB1 for Week 17 against Carolina. Hill missed Week 16 after landing on the COVID list but is expected to be back for this week's contest. The QB hasn't been all that effective in the passing game as he has posted […]

Erik McCoy Placed On COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints added starting center Erik McCoy to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and activated defensive ends Carl Granderson and Jalyn Holmes from the list. McCoy is just another addition to the team's growing COVID-19 list, and he's unlikely to be active for Sunday's game against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. With McCoy likely […]

Mark Ingram II Pops Up On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday when he practiced on a limited basis. Ingram has dealt with knee issues this year -- he missed the Thanksgiving game with a knee injury -- and the fact that he was merely limited on Thursday […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Ty Montgomery Miss Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) both missed practice on Thursday. It was Smith's second straight day on the sidelines, while Montgomery was added to the injury report on Thursday. Two straight missed practices for Smith doesn't bode well for his chances of playing on Sunday against the Carolina […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not At Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) was unable to take part in practice on Wednesday. Smith played 14 offensive snaps in the Monday night loss to the Miami Dolphins before departing with a chest injury and never returning. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted at all by rookie quarterback Ian Book, who was making his […]
