Saints Defense A Great Option In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. It's a potentially great matchup for New Orleans, who ranks sixth in the NFL with 20 sacks. The Cardinals offensive line has allowed 23 sacks to Murray. The Saints should ramp up the pressure against Murray and […]

Wil Lutz Could Be Busy Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz draws a good matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The 25-year-old had four field-goal attempts in a game for the third time this season but missed two attempts last week.

Josh Hill A Sneaky Sleeper Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill will start his second straight game in place of injured starter Jared Cook (ankle) in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 29-year-old caught all three targets for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Chicago Bears last week. It's too good of a matchup for Hill here, […]

Ted Ginn A Risky Flex In Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals but isn't a recommended start. Ginn has had at least five targets in four games with Teddy Bridgewater under center. Unfortunately, he hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards yet in these games and has caught just one […]

Michael Thomas Should Have High Floor Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas should maintain his usual high floor despite perhaps his toughest cornerback matchup yet in Week 8. The 26-year-old receiver will square off with eight-time Pro-Bowler Patrick Peterson, who made his return to the field last week against the New York Giants. Thomas comes into the contest averaging a […]

Latavius Murray Could Have Huge Workload In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was magnificent last week filling in for injured starter Alvin Kamara (ankle) against the Chicago Bears.

Murray could be looking at another large workload against the Arizona Cardinals, […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Low-End Streaming Option Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fantasy star by any means but has posted at least 16 fantasy points in three starts this year. He'll face a Cardinals Defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass. The […]

Saints Defense Solid Against Bears

The New Orleans Saints Defense was solid against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. The New Orleans defense recorded two sacks, recovered two fumbles and blocked a punt. Unfortunately, the Saints had a punt return touchdown called back by a holding penalty and they gave up garbage-time points to the Bears. This season, the defense […]

Wil Lutz Solid Despite Two Missed Field Goals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz had a good day, despite missing two kicks from 40 yards and out. Lutz did hit two field goals from 30-39 yards out and nailed all four of his extra-point attempts. The 25-year-old has now made 15 of 18 field goals and 15 of 16 extra points. He's a […]

Josh Hill Hauls In Touchdown Pass Against Bears

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill filled in admirably for injured starter Jared Cook (ankle) in Week 7. The 29-year-old caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater found Hill wide-open in the flat for an easy seven-yard touchdown. The veteran tight end likely doesn't have fantasy […]

Ted Ginn Narrowly Misses Touchdown Catch in Week 7

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn came close to a touchdown catch on two occasions against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. First, Ginn dropped a slightly late pass from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the end zone after being hit by Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara. Later in the game, Ginn hauled in a deep […]

Michael Thomas Elite Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught nine of 11 targets for 131 receiving yards against the Chicago Bears.

Murray was a physical runner throughout the game, bouncing off tackles. The […]

Teddy Bridgewater Throws Two Touchdowns Against Bears

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 36-25 victory over the Chicago Bears. On the one hand, Bridgewater completed just 60.5 percent of his passes, his second-lowest mark of the season. Fortunately, the 26-year-old averaged his second-highest yards per attempt mark of the season, 7.4, and […]

Saints Defense A Good Option In Week 7

The New Orleans Saints Defense gets a good matchup in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. New Orleans ranks 11th in the NFL in points allowed and seventh in sacks. They'll take on a Bears offense that ranks 26th in scoring and will likely get injured quarterback Mitch Trubisky back on the field. Trubisky struggled […]

Wil Lutz May Have Quiet Day Against Bears

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could be in for a tough game against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Lutz has been excellent, ranking eighth in the league among kickers with 54 fantasy points this season. Unfortunately, the Bears Defense ranks third in the NFL in fantasy points against kickers. In what could end […]

Jared Cook A Risky Start Against Bears

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) is currently questionable to suit up for Week 7 against the Chicago Bears after missing two consecutive days of practice. If he does play, Cook gets a stingy Chicago Bears Defense that is surprisingly susceptible to opposing tight ends, ranking 23rd in the league in points allowed […]

Ted Ginn Difficult To Trust Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn will face the stingy Chicago Bears in Week 7. Ginn has not been a dependable option with Teddy Bridgewater under center. The 34-year-old has tallied just nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in Bridgewater's four games as the starter. Ginn will face a Bears Defense that […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 Against The Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a WR1 in Week 7, despite a tough matchup against the Bears.

The former Ohio State star faces a Bears Defense that ranks eighth in points allowed […]

Latavius Murray A Good Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray could have a big opportunity in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Starter Alvin Kamara is battling injury and pending the injury reports, looks doubtful for the upcoming matchup. Enter Latavius Murray, who is coming off a game in which he averaged a season-high 5.5 yards per carry […]

Pending Injury Reports, Alvin Kamara A Risky Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is reportedly dealing with a high ankle injury this week. This ankle injury and a knee injury Kamara suffered in last week's game put his Week 7 status in serious jeopardy. The Saints prepared for the worst by signing veteran running back Zach Zenner. Kamara has tallied 373 […]

Teddy Bridgewater Draws Tough Matchup In Week 7

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is in for a rough Week 7 against the Chicago Bears.

Wil Lutz Drills Two Field Goals Against Jaguars, Caps Historic Day

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz nailed two field goals and one extra point in Week 6. The cherry on top for Lutz?

Jared Cook Catches Touchdown Pass Against Jacksonville

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook picked up right where he left off in Week 5.

Cook has quietly become a red-zone favorite for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The […]

Ted Ginn Quiet Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn caught just two passes on six targets for 36 yards and rushed for 12 yards on one carry. The Saints leaned on the pass because star running back Alvin Kamara was limited by injury. Despite this, Ginn didn't do enough with his targets to bring fantasy value. He's […]

Michael Thomas Posts Solid Line In Week 6 Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught a team-high eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in his team's Week 6 win. Thomas was leaned on in the second half after an already-hobbled Alvin Kamara tweaked his knee. The star wideout has a good rapport with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, though the two failed to […]

Latavius Murray Has Season-Best Game in Week 6

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray posted a season-high 79 yards from scrimmage against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He led the Saints in rushing yards with 44 on eight attempts and was active in the passing game, with three catches for 35 yards. The day could have been even more fruitful for Murray, as his […]

Alvin Kamara Struggles Against Jaguars, Tweaks Knee

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was stifled by the Jaguars in Week 6.
