Ezekiel Elliott Grades As Touchdown-Dependent RB3 In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has seen an even split in workload with Rico Dowdle thus far in 2024. The veteran has carried the ball 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown while reaching up four catches for 25 yards through two games. This week's matchup with Baltimore is not favorable, as the […]

Dak Prescott Looks To Get Going In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has had a slow start to the 2024 fantasy season. He didn't have to do much in a dominant Week 1 win, and struggled in last week's blowout loss.

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 3 - 2024 College Football

Week 3’s slate may have been the worst we will see all season, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t love every second of it.  The noon slate started with an Alabama thrashing of Wisconsin in Madison, a nail-biting LSU win in Columbia, yet another Florida State loss, and a boa-constrictor-style win in Missouri. The middle […]

Jamaal Williams Closes Out Win Over Dallas

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams rushed eight times for 39 yards in the win over Dallas.

Taysom Hill Leaves Game In Third Quarter, Released From Hospital

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest) was seldom used in Sunday's 44-19 blowout win over Dallas prior to exiting the game in the third quarter.

Chris Olave Bounces Back In Week 2

New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave had a promising Week 2 performance after a disappointing Week 1 showing. Olave was targeted six times, securing four receptions for 81 yards. His 37.5% target share was the most exciting part of the showing, as he saw just two targets in last week's win. Olave connected with quarterback […]

Rashid Shaheed Scores Again In Win

Derek Carr Impresses Again In Week 2

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr torched the Dallas defense in Week 2's 44-19 blowout win.

Avoid Saints D/ST In Week 2

The New Orleans Saints defense won matchups in Week 1 after toying with Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young en route to a 47-10 win. Along with only surrendering 10 points, New Orleans recorded two interceptions, four sacks, and a fumble. They gave up just 219 total yards of offense in the win. This week, the […]

Blake Grupe Looks To Continue Hot Streak In Week 2

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was on fire in Week 1's win over Carolina. The second-year kicker drilled all five extra point attempts, along with all four field goal attempts.

Juwan Johnson Looks To Continue Touchdown Streak

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson made the most of his three targets in Week 1, as he landed in the end zone in the blowout victory.

Taysom Hill Remains Touchdown-Dependent Tight End Option

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill saw seven opportunities in Week 1's win over Carolina.

Chris Olave Looks To Bounce Back After Disappointing Week 1

New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave was seldom used in Week 1's rout of Carolina, totaling just two targets on the day. He will likely be more involved this week in what projects as a closer game against Dallas on the road. The Cowboys' pass defense looked strong in Week 1's win over Cleveland, which […]

Alvin Kamara Projects As RB2 In Week 2

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a strong Week 1, taking all of the high-quality touches out of the Saints' backfield. Kamara faces a much tougher matchup than the running back-friendly Carolina defense this week as New Orleans travels to Dallas on Sunday. Kamara should see a healthy enough volume to be placed […]

Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 After Strong Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr was unconscious in Week 1, completing 19-of-23 passes for three touchdowns. However, the veteran faces a much tougher opponent this week in a Dallas defense that shut down Cleveland in Week 1. The tough matchup makes it hard to consider Carr as a starting option even in two-quarterback formats. […]
