Saints Defense Could Have Elite Upside In Week 17

The New Orleans Saints Defense gets a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Panthers rookie Will Grier made his first start against the Colts last week and threw three interceptions, along with being sacked five times. The Saints are coming off a five-sack performance against Tennessee and should be able to exploit […]

Wil Lutz Should Be Busy In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could have a big day against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Lutz has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the second half, as he has made at least two field goals and two extra points in six of seven games. Carolina has lost seven games in […]

Jared Cook Should Stay Hot Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook faces a tough matchup in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Cook has come to life since returning from injury in November, with over 50 receiving yards in all but one game with six touchdowns. Carolina is a very tough matchup for tight ends- they've allowed the second-fewest […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not A Viable Option Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not recommended in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Smith has only 178 receiving yards this year but has managed to find the end zone four times. The 23-year-old hasn't seen more than four targets in a game this year and has a scarily-low floor. While he […]

Ted Ginn Too Risky Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn isn't a recommended option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Ginn hasn't scored since Week 11 and has met or exceeded 50 receiving yards only twice. Making matters worse, New Orleans may jump out to a big lead, eliminating the need to throw the ball as much. […]

Drew Brees Will Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Panthers. New Orleans can still get the top overall seed and home-field advantage in the NFC with a win and a 49ers loss this weekend, so they'll be playing their starters. […]

Michael Thomas Good To Go For Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) practiced fully on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Considering New Orleans is playing for a possible first-round bye in the playoffs, it's no surprise that Thomas will be out there. The All-Pro put up 101 yards and a touchdown […]

Latavius Murray A Good Flex Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a great matchup on hand against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Murray has seen at least nine touches in the last three games after seeing seven and four in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively. Carolina has allowed two opposing backs to exceed 50 scrimmage yards in […]

Alvin Kamara A Great Option In All Formats Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Kamara busted out of his touchdown slump in a big way last week, with 110 scrimmage yards and two scores, including a 40-yard run. The 24-year-old is set up nicely against the 31st-ranked run defense of the […]

Saints Won't Sign Antonio Brown Right Now

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said the team won't sign free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown "right now" after working him out on Friday. Brown's visit was more about "due diligence" at this point of the season, and the team had six receivers at their facility on Friday. Even if Brown were to sign […]

Drew Brees A Low-End QB1 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Brees is on fire coming into this one, with 935 passing yards and 12 touchdowns in his last three contests. Carolina doesn't present an impossible matchup- they rank 13th against the pass. The problem is, the Panthers have been one of […]

Antonio Brown Working Out For Saints

Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown is working out with the New Orleans Saints this morning, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Saints have been without a legitimate number-two receiver next to Michael Thomas all year- and Brown would be more than capable. As Schefter stated, the Saints are doing their "due diligence", so it will be […]

Michael Thomas Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though there appears to be at least some doubt in regards to his status after two limited sessions this week, albeit one being a hypothetical practice report. Thomas will look to get in […]

Drew Brees Upgraded To Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday.

Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess.
