Taysom Hill A Good Play In Week 11
New Orleans Saints jack of all trades Taysom Hill should have another week of modest usage with running back Jamaal Williams (groin) listed as out for the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns.

Juwan Johnson Has Bad Matchup In Week 11
The New Orleans Saints have been rocked by injuries over the last several weeks. Wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), and Bub Means (ankle) are all on injured reserve, and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) has missed two of the team's last three games and has a questionable tag for Sunday. With so many […]

Mason Tipton Not Playable In Week 11
Injuries to the New Orleans Saints wide receiver room cleared a path up the depth chart for rookie Mason Tipton. With Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), and Bub Means (ankle) on injured reserve, and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) out for Week 10, there seemed to be ample opportunity for Tipton to soak up some […]

Alvin Kamara A Smash Start In Week 11
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is in line for another week of heavy usage in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns.

New Orleans D/ST A Strict Avoid Against Falcons
The New Orleans Saints D/ST didn't do much for fantasy managers in Week 9 against one of the league's worst teams. Last week they allowed 23 points to Carolina and could muster just one sack and a single interception against the Panthers. This doesn't bode well for Sunday's matchup against the high-flying offense of the […]

Cooper Kupp Has 100-Yard Day Against Seattle
