Quarterbacks - Rest of Season Rankings for Fantasy Football

In a typical year, quarterback rankings aren't too important once we approach the midpoint of the season. As you know, this year has been anything but typical and that especially applies to the football world. Just this past week, several quarterbacks have suffered serious injuries and some big-name players will need to be replaced. Fantasy […]

Trevor Siemian Expected To Start Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian, who relieved Jameis Winston (knee) last week, is expected to start on Sunday against the Falcons. Even with Taysom Hill back healthy from a concussion, the Saints seem inclined to roll with Siemian under center, which speaks to their confidence in the former Bronco's ability to run the offense. […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, an upgrade from his limited session a day ago.

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 9

This is the time of the year where the NFL bye weeks start getting on fantasy footballers’ nerves. Thanks to major injuries to Tennessee’s Derrick Henry and New Orleans’ Jameis Winston, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers testing positive for COVID, and Atlanta’s Calvin Ridley taking time off to address his mental health, millions of fantasy football […]

Brian Johnson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brian Johnson is not a strong play this week against Atlanta. Johnson has been serviceable in two games with New Orleans, going 5-for-5 in field goals and 4-for-5 in extra points. Nevertheless, this offense isn't high-powered and the issue at QB now might make it harder for the ball to be […]

Saints Defense A Great Play Against Falcons

The New Orleans Saints defense is a great play this week against the Falcons. They are matched up against a Matt Ryan who hasn't been explosive each week and is also lacking weapons aside from Kyle Pitts. Meanwhile, the Saints' defense wreaked havoc on Tom Brady last week, resulting in two picks and a fumble […]

Adam Trautman - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman should remain benched against the Falcons. Trautman has been really inconsistent and underwhelming in 2021. He has posted more than 35 yards only twice. Last week, he posted two receptions for four yards on six targets. The TE's role is generally small and the Saints don't have a […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not a viable fantasy play in Week 9. Smith posted three receptions for 33 yards and a score on three targets last week and has a total of 44 yards on the season in two games after returning from IR in Week 7. Now, though the Saints […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is nothing more than a flex play in Week 9 against the Falcons. The 23-year-old has been sporadic this season, posting a couple of decent games in the middle of mostly underwhelming performances. He's posted no more than 32 yards in the last two games. Callaway will remain […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II is not a strong play in Week 9 against Atlanta. Ingram was traded back to New Orleans from Houston last week and is back on the Saints, the team he played for from 2011-2018. He wasn't all that effective in his first game back, posting six carries […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a strong RB1 against Atlanta. Kamara has been the center of this offense since Week 1 and that should not change going forward with WR Michael Thomas out for the rest of the season with his ankle injury. Kamara has posted at least 61 rushing yards in […]

Taysom Hill Limited At Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hill suffered a concussion in Week 5 and has missed the team's last two games, but he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and figures to take over under center after Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a […]

Trevor Siemian - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New Orleans Saints lost their starting quarterback Jameis Winston for the season to a torn ACL in Week 8. Now, they must move forward with Taysom Hill, Trevor Siemian, or a free agent signing. As of now, there is no indication on who will start in Week 9, but the odds would be in […]

Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Taysom Hill, Derrick Gore, Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson

The trade deadline is now behind us. The roster shakeups may be complete for NFL teams (barring any signings), but it never stops for our fantasy football teams. The grind never stops -- especially for those in deeper leagues who typically are upset when reading waiver wire articles, because many of the players listed in […]

The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 9?

I feel the need to come clean on two players who have finally made my cut list – and one of them comes with an asterisk. I have been hesitant to include Odell Beckham Jr. or Allen Robinson on the Cut List despite their extremely poor play and I think I need to explain why. When […]

Michael Thomas Out For The Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is out for the season. He had a "new issue" with his ankle and ultimately won't return in 2021. The Saints star receiver had surgery on his ankle during the offseason and was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start the year. "Since then, […]
