Josh Hill A Non-Factor In Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill was only targeted one time in Sunday's preseason win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Hill wasn't spotted at the Saints-Chargers joint practice last Friday, but obviously there is nothing to worry about, as Hill suited up for Sunday's game. Hill should be avoided in fantasy lineups with tight […]

Emmanuel Butler Silent In First Preseason Start

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler didn't get to show off what everyone has been talking about in the Saints second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Butler has been the talk of the town at training camp so far this season by showing major talent as an undrafted rookie. In Sunday's […]

Keith Kirkwood Doesn't Play In Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood did not suit up for Sunday's preseason match against the Los Angeles Chargers.

[…]

Ted Ginn Tops Starters In Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was limited like most of the Saints starters in Sunday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tre'Quan Smith Does Well In Joint Practices With Chargers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith showed his handiwork in last week's joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith went 3-for-3 in one-on-one drills against Chargers defensive players last Wednesday. In Sunday's preseason game, Smith hauled in one catch for 16 yards. With former teammate Cameron Meredith now playing for the New England Patriots, […]

Jared Cook Limited In Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook didn't see much action in the Saints second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Michael Thomas Doesn't Dress For Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas didn't get any playing time in Sunday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Latavius Murray Not Targeted Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray played one quarter in Sunday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Murray came off the field with four carries for 13 yards, which were similar numbers to starting running back Alvin Kamara. Murray looks to be a solid flex option this season with RB2 upside.

Alvin Kamara Plays One Quarter In Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara saw one quarter of playing time against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Kamara finished the first quarter with four carries for 15 yards and one target from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Kamara failed to catch his only pass and exited the game not long afterward. Kamara should continue […]

Devine Ozigbo Scores Touchdown in Preseason Win Over Chargers

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devine Ozigbo scored his first NFL touchdown on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Ozigbo had eight carries for 30 yards and complemented his rushing with three receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown.

Wil Lutz Perfect In Preseason Game Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz showed perfect footwork against the Los Angeles Chargers in the second preseason game of the year. Lutz kicked two field goals for a total of 33 yards and scored seven points on the day. Lutz is among the top kickers drafted in fantasy leagues and should continue to produce […]

Taysom Hill Leads Comeback Victory Over Chargers

New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Taysom Hill stepped up after a rough performance from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the first half of the second preseason game.

Austin Carr Scores Touchdown In Second Preseason Game

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Austin Carr put up the only touchdown by a wideout in Sunday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Saints Defense Shows Strength in Preseason Against Chargers

The New Orleans Saints defense looked significantly better in their second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Saints linebacker Demario Davis led the first-string defensive players in tackles while linebackers A.J.

Why Tyrell Williams Can Be a Starting Fantasy WR in 2019

Unexpected productivity from a late-round wide receiver in your fantasy drafts can help to pave your way to a championship. Scouting out these diamonds in the rough before your pick is on the clock often involves subverting the negative consensus expectations for a player. Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams isn't getting much […]

Unorthodox Draft Strategies

One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league. Analysts often mention the importance of understanding league scoring, but then fail to mention how important it is to understand your competition. There are many reasons why your competition is important. Does your league love RBs? Do they […]

Drew Brees Takes Advantage Of Joint Practice With Chargers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is making the most out of the team's joint practices with the Los Angeles Chargers. Brees doesn't usually see a lot of playing time in preseason games.

Alvin Kamara Suits Up For Joint Practice With Chargers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to the practice field for Day 2 of joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Preparing for the Worst: Melvin Gordon/Ezekiel Elliott Holdouts

Holdouts are not new to the NFL. We're fresh off one of the most talked-about ones in last season's Le'Veon Bell skipping the year while with the Steelers. Everybody hoped Bell would eventually make it back to the field. Preseason went by. First week. Second, third, etc. Until there was a point of no return, […]

Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage

There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, completion percentage isn't the most reliable of metrics. This is because it can easily be skewed by the talent around a quarterback, dropped passes, and various other […]

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Tre'Quan Smith of the New Orleans Saints is primed for a breakout campaign in 2019. While many expected him to produce much more than he did as a rookie, we have to remember that it sometimes takes players a year or two to adjust to the league. While he is currently listed as the number […]

Target Regression Candidates - Tight End

Fantasy Football Rule No. 271: A pass-catcher cannot catch passes unless he is targeted. The “target” was not a stat I remember fantasy football players worrying about in the 1990s or early 2000s, though. It was not a stat on a tight end’s line when you checked his numbers in the box score or on […]

Stop that Hype Train! Jared Cook

Considering how the NFL (like every other sport nowadays) is skewing younger, it must be acknowledged that Jared Cook poses a great case for veterans to fight for consideration as valuable pieces. Not only is Cook entering his age-32 season, but he's also only missed 11 games in his 10-year career, and played the full […]

Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers

Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need […]

J.T. Barrett Signed By Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback J.T. Barrett to the team for now, but he's not expected to be with the squad for long. Barrett was signed because Geno Smith had a minor surgical procedure on his knee on Friday, and that left Russell Wilson and Paxton Lynch as the only quarterbacks left on the […]
