Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
You have to love fantasy football. You have to, otherwise you would have given up by now. In a week that most likely represented the first matchup of the fantasy playoffs or a must-win in some form for the vast majority of players, we were treated to the following: Alvin Kamara netting three fantasy points, […]

Week 14 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!
In Week 14, the quarterback position was littered with surprises. Drew Brees dropped over 40 fantasy points on a 49ers Defense that's given up the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season and Jameis Winston hung 456 yards and 5 touchdowns on a Colts Defense that's been solid against the pass all year. Mitch […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round
An injury-laden Week 14 decided many matchups, with several big names going down in a Red Wedding-esque affair. Not only was Josh Jacobs was a late inactive, but Jared Cook, Devante Parker, Albert Wilson all left with concussions, Mike Evans pulled up with a hamstring injury, Calvin Ridley and Ryan Griffin hurt their ankles, Derrius […]
Saints Defense Has So-So Day
The New Orleans Saints Defense posted three sacks and an interception in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately for New Orleans, they couldn't get a stop all afternoon en route to allowing 516 total yards and 48 points. In leagues that penalize for points or yards, the Saints defense was a total […]
Wil Lutz Stays Hot Against 49ers
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made two field goals and four extra points in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Lutz's day included a long of 55 yards, his first make from that distance since Week 2. The 25-year-old has now made at least two field goals and two extra points in […]
Josh Hill Catches Touchdown In Loss
New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill caught two of four targets for four yards and a touchdown in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Hill filled in for Jared Cook (concussion) and reeled in a red zone score. Hill filled in admirably for Cook earlier in the year and could have a […]
Jared Cook Catches Two Touchdowns, Leaves With Injury
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (concussion) caught both of his targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Cook showed off his athleticism in this one, catching and out-running the San Francisco defense for his first score. Cook then made an athletic, leaping grab for […]
Tre'Quan Smith Catches Clutch Touchdown Pass
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith caught two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Smith made a huge play in the fourth quarter, catching a crossing route, then breaking two tackles on his way to the end zone. Smith hasn't been great […]
Ted Ginn Posts 50 Receiving Yards In Loss
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn caught four of six targets for 50 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Ginn had a big 25-yard catch-and-run play in the fourth quarter. It's only the second time this year that Ginn has exceeded 50 receiving yards. Perhaps this performance will jump-start him […]
Michael Thomas Unstoppable Against 49ers
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas hauled in 11 of 15 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Thomas had a decent stat line through three quarters- then the fourth quarter happened. The All-Pro wideout had five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in […]
Latavius Murray Runs Strong Against 49ers
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray posted 64 rushing yards on seven carries and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Murray was out-touched by Alvin Kamara 17-nine, though Murray looked like the better player in this game. It was a great rebound effort […]
Alvin Kamara Shut Down By 49ers
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 13 times for 25 yards and caught four of six targets for 18 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's fair to wonder if something is wrong health-wise with Kamara, who's been a bust in fantasy this year. It could also […]
Drew Brees Explodes For Six Touchdowns In Week 14
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 40 pass attempts for 349 yards and five touchdowns along with a one-yard rushing score in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It was one of the best performances of Brees' career against an elite pass defense. He threw touchdowns to four different receivers […]
Jared Cook Exits Early With Concussion
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game with the 49ers. Cook took a hit to the head that was flagged for targeting a defenseless receiver while coming down with his second touchdown of the day. Cook was evaluated for a possible head injury and […]

In Week 13, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill were the high-end options that had great matchups.

Several of the wide receivers […]

Star Players Who Might Miss the Fantasy Playoffs
As we head into the playoff weeks of fantasy football, you'll hear many experts preach (correctly) the need to stash high-upside handcuffs or backups at quarterback or tight end.

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face off with Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14.
