Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

Saints Restructure Marcus Davenport's Contract

The New Orleans Saints converted $1,354,235 of defensive end Marcus Davenport's salary into a bonus with three voidable years on Saturday, creating $1,083,388 in salary cap space. It comes after the team also converted $847,376 of recently acquired cornerback Bradley Roby's salary into a bonus, which created $677,901 in salary cap space. Davenport was recently […]

Week 2 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

We finally have a week of data.  So was Week 1 a trend or an aberration? We can look at last year's red-zone stats and see if players are continuing on a path or trailblazing a new one, be it good or bad. Let's begin with a look back at the top red-zone passers and […]

Erik McCoy Ruled Out For Week 2

New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The 2019 second-round pick has appeared in 32 games and nearly 100 percent of snaps over the last two seasons. However, in Week 1, he was on the field for just 8.1 percent of snap before injuring himself. […]

Saints Missing Several Coaches

The New Orleans Saints will enter Week 2 against the Panthers without seven of their usual assistants. Jim Chaney, Declan Doyle , Phil Galiano, Curtis Johnson , Brendan Nugent, Dan Roushar, and Joel Thomas will all miss Sunday's contest. The group had to test negative during a short window of time in order to travel […]

Saints Defense A Solid Option In Week 2

The New Orleans Saints defense is a solid starting option in Week 2 against the Panthers. New Orleans will be without defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder) and linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow), though they should still have enough playmakers to justify starting against Carolina. New Orleans totaled two interceptions, two sacks, and a fumble recovery against […]

Marshon Lattimore Will Be A Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hand) will be a game-time decision in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers after he had surgery on his hand this week. Lattimore injured his thumb in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers and is considered week-to-week. The team's top cornerback also agreed to a contract […]

Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction. Others are in the business of making knee-jerk reactions and filling their trade block with underperforming players from the results of a single game. We […]

Week 2 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

Everything went according to plan in Week 1, right? No injuries to key pass rushers, no mysterious benching of a young WR without warning, and no goose eggs laid by defending MVPs? No late-night trips to a certain fast-food chain that tied you to your toilet and rendered you physically unable to claim Elijah Mitchell […]

Juwan Johnson Has Chance At Finding The End Zone Again

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson burst onto the scene with a two-touchdown performance against the Packers in Week 1. Johnson only saw three targets and was on the field for 12 snaps but made the most of his opportunity. The big tight end could be a factor in the red zone once again […]

Adam Trautman A TE2 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman gets a matchup against the Panthers in Week 2. Trautman led the Saints in targets in Week 1 against the Packers with six, though he delivered an underwhelming line of three receptions for 18 yards. The 24-year-old played 82 percent of the offensive snaps compared to fellow tight […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey slotted in as the team's third receiver in a Week 1 win over the Packers. On the plus side, Humphrey logged the third-most snaps among Saints receivers, though he played on just 29 percent of the offensive snaps and didn't see a target come his way. Carolina's secondary […]

Deonte Harris A Dart-Throw Play Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris will attempt to carry his Week 1 success into a matchup with the Panthers. Harris led the Saints in receiving yards last week, totaling 55 of his 72 yards on a deep touchdown pass from Jameis Winston. The speedster only played 44 percent of the offensive snaps, a […]

Marquez Callaway Could Bounce Back In Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway had a rough Week 1 performance but could be in a position to bounce back against the Panthers. Carolina's defense surrendered seven targets, five receptions, 97 yards, and two scores to Jets' number-one wideout Corey Davis, which bodes well for Callaway, who displayed a nice rapport with Jameis […]

Tony Jones Jr. Not Worth Starting At The Moment

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. impressed in his Week 1 debut, handling 12 touches against the Packers. Jones gets a good matchup against the Panthers, who yielded the eighth-most fantasy points per game to halfbacks last year. While the rookie back appears to have inherited a Latavius Murray-like role behind Alvin Kamara, […]

Alvin Kamara An Elite RB1 Play Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is primed for a big game against the Panthers in Week 2. Kamara didn't have the most eye-popping numbers in Week 1- though he was undoubtedly the centerpiece of the Saints offense, handling 24 touches including 20 carries, his third-highest total in 68 career games, totaling 91 scrimmage […]

Jameis Winston A Low-End QB1 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston draws a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Panthers as he attempts to follow up his five-touchdown performance from Week 1. Winston diced up the Packers secondary, a unit that allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to signal-callers, for five scores, adding 37 yards with his legs, […]
