Another great week of football that saw comebacks, blowouts and even a tie. And now we're dealing with the first COVID outbreak in the NFL. Hopefully everyone is healthy and if any games get postponed, they will be played. Favorites went 9-6-1 straight up in Week 3 and 9-7 against the spread. My best bets […]

Saints Defense Limping Into Week 4 Matchup With Lions

New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) and Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (elbow, toe) have all been ruled out for Week 4 against the Lions. New Orleans has already allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers, which makes Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford a trendy pick this weekend as […]

Jared Cook Ruled Out Against Lions

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (groin) and offensive guard Andrus Peat (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 4 against the Lions. With both Cook and All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) out this Sunday, the Saints offense will be at much less than full strength. Expect quarterback Drew Brees to check down […]

Week 4 DFS GPP Value Plays - FanDuel, DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football

The Week 4 slate on Draftkings and FanDuel is going to be missing quite a few studs! We began the slate with none of the Green Bay or Atlanta studs because they play on Monday Night. We then had the already old news that none of the Titans or Steelers will be available. And then […]

Michael Thomas Ruled Out For Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Lions. Thomas is getting closer to a return, as he returned to practice this week, but unfortunately for his fantasy managers, he'll miss his third straight game. New Orleans is choosing to play it safe with their All-Pro […]

Michael Thomas Not A Lock To Play In Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has practiced on a limited basis both Wednesday and Thursday while dealing with a high ankle sprain. It's a good sign as he attempts to return to action, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll play in Week 4 against the Lions. The Saints may play it safe […]

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 4

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport (elbow) and cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) didn't take part in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. As key members of the team's defense, their statuses are something to watch heading into Week 4 against the Lions. Lattimore tweaked his hamstring in practice on Wednesday, […]

It sucks, but it means there are still three more quarters ahead of us! Yay! To gain […]

Wil Lutz A Solid Starting Option Against Lions

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid starting option this week against Detroit. Lutz has been reliable this season, going 6-for-6 in field-goal attempts and 10-for-10 in extra point attempts. Playing on an offense that can generally move the ball, Lutz is a fine starting option against a Lions team that is middle-tier […]

Saints Defense Should Remain On Bench This Week

The New Orleans Saints Defense is not a viable streaming option this week against the Lions. After a terrific Week 1, this unit has struggled the past two weeks against the Raiders and Packers even with star-studded names playing on this side of the ball for New Orleans. Ultimately, they allowed 34 points in Week […]

Jared Cook A Low-End TE1 If Active

If active, New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook would be a low-end TE1 against a Lions team that has been somewhat stingy at covering tight ends. Cook sustained a groin injury in the Week 3 loss to Green Bay and missed practice Wednesday, which doesn't sound too encouraging. If he ultimately cannot suit up, […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Flex Option In Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a flex option in Week 4 against a Detroit team allowing the 10th most points to fantasy receivers. Sanders has had a disappointing start with the Saints, only seeing 15 and 18 yards in the first two weeks before finally getting 56 yards and a score in […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 In Week 4 If Active

If active, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would be a WR1 in this week's matchup with Detroit. Thomas has been nursing an ankle injury and has missed the past two games. He returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion and it's still uncertain as to whether he will play on Sunday. […]

Latavius Murray A Low-End Flex Against Lions

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is only a low-tier flex option for this week against Detroit. With Alvin Kamara handling RB1 duties on the team, Murray hasn't seen more than 58 rush yards and 19 receiving yards in any contest thus far. He's only worth considering if your team has been hit by […]

Alvin Kamara An RB1 In Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in this week's clash against the Lions. With Michael Thomas out the past couple of weeks, Kamara has been putting up herculean numbers as his receiving totals have been off the charts. He posted 139 receiving yards in Week 3 and 95 in Week […]

Drew Brees A QB2 Against Lions

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a QB2 for this week's matchup against the Lions. The veteran hasn't been the most explosive fantasy option this season and there has also been speculation of his decline. While he's still putting up serviceable numbers, they haven't been consistent. He tossed three touchdowns in Week 3, but […]
