Heinicke has been fantastic as a fantasy quarterback so far, finishing as QB12, QB10, and QB5 in his three starts. The problem here is that he's taking on a Saints defense that ranks 6th in pass DVOA. However, they just allowed Daniel Jones to complete 28-of-40 passes for 402 yards (10.1 Y/A) with two touchdowns and one interception. Perhaps the Saints' defense is starting to show some cracks in their armor. It's tough to start Heinicke in this spot, but he could be a solid play in DFS tournaments with the way he's airing it out right now. I'd just recommend leaving him on the bench unless you're in a SuperFlex league.
