Welcome RotoBallers. Below are the updated Week 15 quarterback rankings for fantasy football. In the first week of the fantasy playoffs, where do Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford and Tua Tagovailoa rank, among others? There are no more teams on bye, but make sure you follow the COVID news all weekend long […]

Wait Or Pivot Early? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Decisions for Week 15

We expected the first round of the fantasy playoffs to be easier to navigate with the bye weeks being done. Obviously, that is not the case now, and with games being rescheduled, new challenges have surfaced. We help you cope with these circumstances, so playoff games can still be won in the face of adverse […]

Brett Maher - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher isn't worth starting in Week 15. Maher was only recently added to this roster and has gone 5-for-6 in field goals and 7-for-8 in extra points. The kicker hasn't proved he's a long-term reliable fantasy option and the Saints' offense can be a little inconsistent too. Add in that […]

Saints Defense Should Be Benched Against Buccaneers In Week 15

The New Orleans Saints defense should be on benches in Week 15. The unit will face a high-powered Tampa offense that is still seeing a 44-year-old Tom Brady play at an elite level. The running game is also potent with Leonard Fournette spearheading the rushing attack. The Bucs have posted at least 30 points in […]

Nick Vannett - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is a TE2 option in Week 15 against the Bucs. Vannett now has at least four targets and 44 yards in the last two contests and has produced well in place of Adam Trautman (MCL). Deonte Harris is also suspended, so the 28-year-old should be considered a great […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is a flex option in deep leagues for Week 15. Callaway hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option in 2021 and he has now posted 37 yards or less in the last eight contests. Still, Deonte Harris is suspended currently and Callaway could see more targets as a […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is a flex option for deep leagues against Tampa in Week 15. Smith hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option this season, and he has now posted 33 yards or less in the last three games. Tampa is middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts, so Smith is still worth considering […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 option in Week 15. Kamara returned to the field last week after missing time due to a knee injury and didn't miss a beat as he compiled 27 carries for 120 yards and a score. The RB's volume in this offense is spectacular and as […]

Taysom Hill - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is a low-end QB1 against the Bucs in Week 15. Hill has been starting the past couple of games for New Orleans and while his passing game numbers haven't been the strongest, his rushing numbers have been excellent. The QB rushed for 101 yards a couple of weeks ago […]

OwnersBox Week 15 NFL Lineup Picks - Sunday - Weekly Fantasy Football Contest

Welcome back RotoBallers! Obviously any Sunday NFL talk at this point is very risky with the fluidity of the COVID news that seems to be flowing in every hour. At this time I am operating on the assumption that only the LAR/SEA and WAS/PHI games will be moved. In case you're not yet familiar, OwnersBox is […]

Saints To Be Without All-Pro Tackles

New Orleans Saints offensive tackles Ryan Ramczyk (knee) and Terron Armstead (knee) both missed practice all week and were ruled out for Sunday night's divisional clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Against a very strong Buccaneers defensive line, this could cause some serious issues for the Saints offense in Week 15. Armstead re-injured his knee […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Tagged As Questionable For Week 15

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sat out last week and has been practicing on a limited basis this week. However, Humphrey wasn't much of an asset before the injury. Although, his absence could mean an uptick in value for […]

Mark Ingram II Back At Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II was back at practice on Friday after missing last week's game while on the COVID-19 list. The Saints also got veteran pass-rusher Cameron Jordan back from the COVID list on Thursday. Ingram had a three-game stretch from Weeks 9-11 where he had RB2 utility in fantasy with […]

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Tests Positive For COVID-19

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after having tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Friday. Payton's positive test is the latest amidst a week in which COVID-19 has swept across the NFL landscape, leaving many teams shorthanded during Week 15. On Sunday, New Orleans […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Making Progress

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. Humphrey was inactive in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets, but his limited practice on Thursday gives him a chance to return this Sunday against the Tampa […]

Ty Montgomery Activated From Reserve/COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints running back Ty Montgomery (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. The 28-year-old missed the Week 14 win over the New York Jets after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. He's caught 15-of-22 passes for 94 yards over 10 games in 2021. Montgomery will resume his role as the Saints RB3 […]

Week 15 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

I will be the absolute first in the world to say this, but COVID-19 isn’t great. In fact, at the risk of being controversial, I’ll say COVID is bad! I know that’s a hot take, but I’m sticking with it. If COVID were a food, it’d be the equivalent of taking a wonderful Taco Bell […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Lands On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. He missed last week's matchup and hasn't brought much to the table this season. To be fair, he has picked up his play lately, but isn't someone worth rostering in most formats. Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway would possibly see more […]

Adam Trautman Returns To Practice On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday. He has still not be activated off the IR, but keep an eye on his practice status over the next couple of days because Nick Vannett has been seeing consistent targets since Trautman went down. If both players are active, it would […]
