New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with an ankle sprain.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds

The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is the week the rookie receivers emerged in 2020. Justin Jefferson exploded for 7-175-1 and finally gives the Vikings a viable option behind Adam Thielen.

Andrus Peat Has High Ankle Sprain

The initial diagnosis on New Orleans Saints offensive guard Andrus Peat (ankle) showed a high ankle injury, according to a source.

Saints Defense Has Quiet Game In Week 3

The New Orleans Saints Defense did not look particularly good in a 37-30 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

For much of the night, the Saints couldn't get near the […]

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-points in a Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lutz was busy in a game that saw a combined 67 points put on the board. His night included a couple 30-yarders and a 45-yard kick late in the game […]

Jared Cook Posts Just 21 Receiving Yards, Injures Groin

Tre'Quan Smith Has Quiet Day Against Packers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith had a quiet day in a Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Latavius Murray Leads Team In Carries

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball a team-high 12 times for 58 rushing yards and caught one pass for seven receiving yards in a 37-30 loss to the Packers.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-30 loss to the Packers.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is improving and has a chance to practice next week ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Detroit Lions. The team is being very cautious with Thomas and they do not want him out there unless he's 100 percent, so this is no guarantee for his […]
