New Orleans Saints is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for defenses. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: One of the teams that have capitalized on the Patriots not being a great offense is the Saints, who finished 2nd in DST ranks last week based on FantasyPros scoring. After a subpar game against the Panthers, New Orleans showed what they're capable of by holding the Patriots to 13 points, registering three sacks, and forcing three turnovers. It doesn't get much harder for them this week against the Giants. With Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard both leaving Sunday's game with hamstring injuries, the Giants could be really short-handed this week. Saquon Barkley looked his old self, but the Saints are 3rd in the league in rushing yards allowed per attempt at a paltry 2.8 yards. It's going to be really hard for Barkley to carry the Giants offense against this defensive front, which means more pressure on the shoulders of Daniel Jones and his beat-up receiving corps. That's a recipe for the Saints to get some fantasy goodness.
