Tre'Quan Smith Manages 17 Yards In Week 15

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith managed two receptions for 17 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over the Bucs.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill went 13-for-27 for 154 yards along with rushing for 33 yards in Sunday's win over Tampa.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Will Play On Sunday Night

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) is good to go against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
