Saints Defense Is A Startable Option In Week 15

The New Orleans Saints D/ST had a season-best performance in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans allowed just six points and logged four sacks, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery touchdown. In Week 15, the Saints take on Tommy Devito and the New York Giants. DeVito has played mistake-free football over his […]

Blake Grupe Should Be Avoided In Week 15

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe has now posted back-to-back disappointing weeks. While he was a perfect 4-for-4 on extra points against Carolina in Week 14, he missed his lone field goal attempt from 29 yards out. The New York Giants have been a tough matchup for kickers this season, allowing an average of 6.9 […]

Jimmy Graham Looks To Extend Touchdown Streak In Week 15

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham has been seldom used this season, but the 37-year-old has now scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks. With Chris Olave (ankle) trending towards missing Week 15's matchup with the New York Giants, there will be plenty of targets to go around. Graham is a clear touchdown-or-bust option and […]

Juwan Johnson Could See Increased Volume In Week 15

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has had a disappointing season, as he missed four games with injuries and has only scored one touchdown so far this year. Johnson's role has varied on a week-by-week basis but typically the Saints have rolled with a tight-end-by-committee approach. Foster Moreau, Jimmy Graham, and Taysom Hill (foot, […]

Lynn Bowden Should Be Avoided In Week 15

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden has played a partial role in the offense over the past few weeks with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) missing time. Shaheed has logged back-to-back limited practices, indicating that he has a chance to be on the field on Sunday against the New York Giants. Shaheed's status in this game […]

A.T. Perry Holds Deep-League Value In Week 15

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has partially filled in for Michael Thomas (knee) in the offense over the past four games, but has made little impact with limited volume (10 total targets). With Chris Olave (ankle) trending towards missing Week 15's tilt against the New York Giants and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) still […]

Alvin Kamara Holds RB1 Status For Week 15

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is set up for another prime fantasy performance in Week 15. The 28-year-old veteran should be in line for an increased workload with Jamaal Williams (groin) banged up, Taysom Hill (foot, left hand) being uncertain for Sunday, and Chris Olave (ankle) trending in the wrong direction to play […]

Derek Carr Should Not Be Started In Week 15

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is off the injury report for the first time in a few weeks, but the report remains full of his weapons. Carr has not scored over 15 fantasy points since Week 9 and has not scored over 20 fantasy points once this entire season. The New York Giants have […]

Jimmy Graham Extends Touchdown Streak

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has re-emerged as a red zone threat, having now logged a touchdown in back-to-back games. The tight end situation in New Orleans is ugly for fantasy purposes, with Graham, Juwan Johnson, and Foster Moreau splitting time, along with Taysom Hill occasionally lining up as a tight end. While […]

Chris Olave Records Touchdown In Week 14

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave salvaged his fantasy performance by hauling in a seven-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter of the 28-6 win over Carolina. Olave was targeted five times, grabbing four of them for 28 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. The young wide receiver saw his lowest target total since Week […]

A.T. Perry Hauls In 44-Yard Reception In Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry only saw one target in the Week 14 win over Carolina, but he hauled the pass in for a 44-yard reception. Despite just having one catch, Perry led New Orleans in receiving yards in the win. The rookie has now made splash plays in back-to-back games, as he […]

Alvin Kamara Scores Touchdown In Week 14

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara found the end zone once in the 28-6 rout of the Carolina Panthers. Kamara carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards with the touchdown rush. He caught three passes but netted negative yardage (-11) through the air. The veteran running back saw his lowest volume since Week […]

Derek Carr Throws Two Touchdowns In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (ribs, shoulder) overcame injuries to lead the team to a dominant 28-6 win over Carolina in Week 14. Carr completed 18-of-26 passes for 119 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The yardage total marked Carr's lowest of the season in a game that he did not leave due […]

New Orleans Saints Defense Is On Streaming Radar

The New Orleans Saints D/ST has been an inconsistent unit for fantasy purposes and is coming off of a loss to Detroit in which they surrendered 33 points, recorded one sack, and did not tally a turnover. New Orleans is in a prime position to bounce back defensively, with a divisional matchup against the Carolina […]

Blake Grupe Looks To Bounce Back In Week 14

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe drilled all four extra-point attempts in Week 13's 33-28 loss to Detroit but did not attempt a field goal, which limited his fantasy production. Grupe will look to bounce back against a Carolina Panthers team that allows the second-most points per game in the NFL. He should have a […]

A.T. Perry Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 14

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has seen an uptick in playing time over the past three games with the position group banged up, but it has not translated to significant enough volume to warrant starting him in fantasy lineups. Perry saw three targets in Week 13's loss to Detroit, hauling in a […]

Chris Olave Looks To Record Three Straight 100-Yard Outings

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has been on a tear as of late, recording four straight games with either 100+ receiving yards or a touchdown. With Rashid Shaheed (thigh, DNP) still banged up, Olave should yet again see a bulk of the Saints' receiving work in a matchup against the NFL's worst team. […]

Alvin Kamara Remains In RB1 Territory In Divisional Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara ranks fourth on the season in PPR fantasy points per game, consistently putting points up with his sustained high-volume usage. Kamara's strong usage should continue heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Carolina surrenders the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, with […]

College Football Risers and Fallers: Postseason NCAAF Stock Watch

For some, the 2023 college football season is wrapped up. For others, the postseason looms. For four teams, a shot at a national title awaits. And for everyone, season over or not, 2024 has to be at the front of the mind with the transfer portal creating a wild, wild west atmosphere. Conference championship week […]

Jimmy Graham Logs Touchdown In Loss

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham caught just his second pass of the season on Sunday in the 33-28 loss to Detroit. Both of Graham's receptions have gone for touchdowns, with the latest being a 6-yard touchdown grab from quarterback Derek Carr. Graham remains off of the fantasy radar given his very minimal […]

Chris Olave Tops 100 Yards In Loss

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave saw eight targets in the 33-28 loss to Detroit on Sunday. Olave hauled in five receptions for 119 yards, topping the century mark for the fourth time this season. With Derek Carr (shoulder, back, concussion) banged up, the second-year receiver may have to develop a rapport with veteran […]

Alvin Kamara Dominates In High-Volume Day

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara saw 20 touches on Sunday in the 33-28 loss to the Detroit Lions. Kamara took 14 carries for 51 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while hauling in six receptions for 58 yards on a team-leading eight targets. The veteran running back continued to receive the bell-cow […]

Taysom Hill Leads Team In Rushing, Scores Touchdown

New Orleans Saints offensive weapon Taysom Hill generated a strong fantasy output on Sunday in the 33-28 loss to Detroit. Hill rushed 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while also hauling in two receptions for 15 yards. He attempted two passes but did not complete either attempt. Given his fantasy position of tight […]

Stay Away From New Orleans Saints D/ST In Week 13

The New Orleans Saints defense has now had poor fantasy performances against Minnesota and Atlanta in back-to-back weeks. While safety Tyrann Mathieu did secure two interceptions, the team failed to record a sack and surrendered 396 yards of offense to the Falcons in Week 12. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been turnover-prone with six […]

Blake Grupe Logs Back-To-Back Limited Practices

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe is on the injury report with a right groin injury and has logged back-to-back limited practices. Grupe had a career fantasy day in Week 12 against Atlanta as he knocked down five field goals on a day when New Orleans struggled to find the end zone. Grupe did miss […]

Taysom Hill Should See Week 13 Usage With Playmakers Banged Up

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has been up-and-down this season, with his usage varying on a week-by-week basis. Hill has seen work on the ground as well as through the air in 2023 and should continue to see significant enough volume for fantasy purposes in Week 13 against Detroit with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) […]

Juwan Johnson Draws Low-End TE1 Appeal In Week 13

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has battled injuries for most of the 2023 season, but is now one of the lone healthy pass catchers in New Orleans. Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (thigh), and Michael Thomas (ankle) are all banged up, with Olave looking like the only one of the trio with a […]

Lynn Bowden Could Step Up In Banged-Up Receiver Room

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden filled in for an injured Rashid Shaheed (thigh) last week, taking slot receiver snaps and factoring into the rushing game on two carries for 40 yards. With Shaheed logging back-to-back DNPs at practice this week, his status for Sunday is in doubt, meaning that Bowden could again see […]

A.T. Perry Warrants Flex Consideration In Deep Leagues

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has only been active in five games this season but has stepped into the starting outside receiver role with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve. Perry played 84% of snaps in Week 10 and caught his first career touchdown, and played 74% of snaps in Week 12 […]

Alvin Kamara In RB1 Territory, Should See Significant Week 13 Workload

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has paid off for fantasy managers who took a gamble on him in 2023, largely due to his significant volume. Kamara ranks second behind Christian McCaffrey in touches per game for running backs, averaging 21.6. He offers a safe weekly floor due to his passing game usage, which […]
