FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 7 - Daily Fantasy Football
Week 7 began with the short-handed Browns taking on the visiting Broncos.

Week 6 was highlighted by the stellar performance from Derrick Henry. The […]
Chris Hogan Hanging Them Up
The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Chris Hogan on the Reserve/Retired list on Saturday. Hogan came out of retirement to play five games with the Saints this year, but he has apparently decided he's riding off into the sunset... again. The 33-year-old hauled in just four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in […]

Taysom Hill, Deonte Harris Not Spotted Thursday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) and wide receiver Deonte Harris (hamstring) both missed practice on Thursday to begin the practice week.

Brian Johnson - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints kicker Brian Johnson is not worth starting in Week 7. The Saints added Johnson this week after Cody Parkey was placed on injured reserve. The team's original starter, Wil Lutz, started the season on injured reserve with a core muscle injury. Johnson is now the fourth kicker New Orleans will start this […]
Saints Defense A Strong Play Against Seahawks
The New Orleans Saints defense is a strong play in Week 7 against Seattle. The unit has eight sacks, nine picks, and three forced fumbles on the season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have lost starting QB Russell Wilson to a finger injury and are starting backup Geno Smith. Smith hasn't been terrific in two games thus […]
Adam Trautman - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman is not a viable fantasy play in Week 7. Though the TE posted his best season numbers in Week 5 (2/43/0), he has been underwhelming overall in other games and has shown no consistency. The 24-year-old's next best total was when he posted three receptions for 18 yards […]
Tre'Quan Smith - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not a viable fantasy play in Week 7 if active. The WR has been dealing with a hamstring injury since training camp and has been on injured reserve since. Nevertheless, the WR is set to be taken off injured reserve and could return for Week 7. He […]
Marquez Callaway - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is a flex option at best in Week 7 against the Seahawks. The 23-year-old posted his best numbers of the season in Week 5, four receptions for 85 yards and two scores on eight targets. With Michael Thomas (ankle) set to return soon and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) possibly […]
Alvin Kamara - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 against Seattle. Kamara is coming off a stellar performance in Week 5 where he posted 16 carries for 71 yards and a score along with five receptions for 51 yards and a score on eight targets. The RB has at least 71 rushing yards […]
Jameis Winston - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is a QB2, at best, in Week 7 on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The QB is coming off a decent game in Week 5 in which he threw for 279 yards and four scores. Nevertheless, the 27-year-old has been streaky this season, which reflects his entire NFL […]

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie.

The New Orleans Saints designated wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring), linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder) for return from Injured Reserve this week. The Saints will now have 21 days to activate the trio from Injured Reserve. Michael Thomas (ankle) is also getting closer to a return, but Smith appears to […]
Forrest Lamp Joins Saints Practice Squad
The New Orleans Saints signed free-agent offensive guard Forrest Lamp to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. Lamp is only 27 years old, is a former high second-round pick and started all 16 games last year for the Los Angeles Chargers, so there remains plenty of upside here. He's also fully recovered […]
Lamar Miller Signs With Saints Practice Squad
The New Orleans Saints have signed running back Lamar Miller to their practice squad, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Miller spent training camp with the Washington Football Team and had a solid preseason, so the Saints get some much-needed running back depth with Tony Jones Jr. being on IR. If Miller is activated to […]
Wil Lutz Returns To Practice
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (abdomen) was designated for return from Injured Reserve and returned to practice on Monday. The Saints now have 21 days to activate Lutz from Injured Reserve, and they could do so before they play the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 7. When healthy, Lutz will take […]
Michael Thomas Still Not Ready To Return
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is still believed to be "a couple of weeks" away from returning, according to Ian Rapoport. Thomas is now eligible to be activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list, but he is unlikely to be activated until Week 9. Upon his return to the lineup, whenever […]
Michael Thomas Eligible To Return In Week 7
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) could return to the field soon. Thomas, who has yet to suit up for New Orleans this year as he recovers from surgery on his ankle, is eligible to return to practice this week. The star wideout will be rejoining a Saints' wideout group that has produced […]
