CeeDee Lamb was the bright spot scoring two touchdowns, one of which was on the ground and one out of the slot, finishing as WR-10 with 23.4 points.

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray will take on the Falcons in Week 17. Murray was overshadowed by Alvin Kamara's superhuman performance, though he managed to post 96 scrimmage yards last week. The former Raider has compiled at least 12 touches in eight contests this season, a workload good enough to generate some value […]

Alvin Kamara Poised For Overall RB1 Finish

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is coming off one of the best games of all time, a career-high 155 rushing yards and near-record-setting six touchdowns.
