Brett Maher - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher is not a strong play against the Dolphins in Week 16. Maher has been reliable in the four games he has played with New Orleans, going 8-for-9 in field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 in extra points. Nevertheless, the Saints plan to start a rookie QB who has never made an […]

Saints Defense A Viable Play Against Dolphins

The New Orleans Saints defense is a streaming option in Week 16. This unit is coming off an impressive shutout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the only shutouts legendary QB Tom Brady has suffered in his career. This unit has certainly been the strength of this team all season as the offense deals […]

Nick Vannett - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is not a viable tight end option in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Vannett posted a couple of decent games in the last few weeks but he surely hasn't been consistent. The TE has posted 44 yards or more in two of the past four games. He also […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway should be considered nothing more than a deep-league flex in Week 16. The upside is that Callaway could see a lot of targets given Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) may not be able to play and Deonte Harris remains suspended. The downside is that New Orleans could be starting a […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II shouldn't start for your fantasy team in Week 16. The RB has posted 47 rushing yards or less in five of six contests since returning to the Saints earlier this season. Last week, he managed nine carries for only 10 yards. Given he will always be second […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 option in Week 16 against Miami. The 26-year-old had an off-week last week but that was against a stingy Tampa run defense. The RB has high volume in this offense and could see even more touches this week given the Saints are preparing to start […]

Ian Book - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book is not a strong fantasy option in Week 16. The 23-year-old rookie is preparing to make his first NFL start on Monday with QBs Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian on the COVID list. The QB will have to play a Dolphins squad that is somewhat stingy to fantasy quarterbacks, […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 16: Demetric Felton, Ian Book, and more

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. With the fantasy playoffs underway, each week is crucial for every manager still in the hunt for a championship. Unfortunately, last week saw low offensive output across […]

Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Saints vs Dolphins

Football fans were treated to two terrible games on Monday last week. The first game between the Raiders and Browns was originally scheduled for Saturday but had to be moved due to COVID. The Raiders were able to secure a last-second victory against a depleted Browns offense missing Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum, Kareem Hunt, Jarvis […]

Ryan Ramczyk, Demario Davis Land On COVID-19 List

After placing nine players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, the New Orleans Saints added offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, All-Pro linebacker Demario Davis, linebacker Dwayne Washington and safety J.T. Gray to the list on Friday. Davis currently leads all non-specialists in consecutive games played (158), but that's about to end in Week 16 unless he […]

Sean Payton Returns To Head-Coaching Duties

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is back, having rejoined the team Friday after missing Week 15 following a positive COVID-19 test. He comes back to a cloudy quarterback situation, one that has rookie Ian Book tabbed to make his first professional start in a pivotal game Monday vs. Miami. Without Payton roaming the […]

Blake Bortles Joins Saints, Will Serve As Backup QB

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles has signed a deal with the New Orleans Saints, making him the backup quarterback for Monday's game against Miami. The New Orleans quarterback room was thrown into flux earlier in the week when Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, which has paved the way for Ian Book […]

Tre'Quan Smith Limited To Begin Practice Week

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) was listed as limited on the team's estimated Thursday practice report. Marquez Callaway has been the most productive Saints receiver from a fantasy standpoint. Smith has two touchdowns on the year and hasn't found the end zone since Week 10 while not exceeding five catches or 64 […]

Week 16 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Woof. What a week in the NFL. Between the COVID madness, a slew of injuries, and some stud players totally flopping, there was utter chaos in the fantasy landscape this weekend.

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a cluster Week 15 was. Not only did fantasy managers have to deal with countless Covid-19 cases, but three games were delayed adding even more intrigue.....or frustration. We haven't even gotten to the actual games yet. You know, the one where the Buccaneers were shut out and Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette all left […]

Taysom Hill On COVID List, Ian Book To Start Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will miss Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Trevor Siemian also went on the COVID list on Thursday, so rookie Ian Book will start in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins. It will be the fourth QB the […]

Saints Place Trevor Siemian On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian will be placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. That means that Ian Book will be activated to back up Taysom Hill this weekend, which is of note considering Hill is playing through a finger injury that he suffered in the loss to the Cowboys a few weeks ago. […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Christmas Edition and End-Of-Year Recap

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again.

Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards.
