New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught one pass on six targets for four yards in a 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Derek Carr, who was playing with a shoulder sprain, missed Olave on a couple of deep passes. If Carr's injury lingers, Olave's value could take a temporary dip.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) completed 23 of his 37 passes for 127 yards and lost a fumble in a 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Carr was playing with a sprained shoulder, which may have contributed to an ugly offensive showing for the Saints. Until Carr is closer to full strength, it could be hard to trust any members of the Saints' passing attack.

New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) suffered a calf injury during the Week 4 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Johnson will be able to return. Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau will see more work if Johnson misses time, but neither is a strong fantasy option.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 4 game.
Huddle Up: Carr suffered the shoulder injury in the last game and was expected to miss time but is ready to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He can be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues but should be avoided in standard leagues.

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.
Huddle Up: Carr will be a game-time decision for the Week 4 game, so fantasy players can check the inactive list for his official status. There is a good chance that Jameis Winston will start because of Carr's injury, but neither Carr not Winston should be a starting option in standard leagues.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is "questionable at the moment," according to head coach Dennis Allen. Per Allen, the team intends to see how Carr responds to practice on Friday, Sept. 29, and then make a decision if he or Jameis Winston will start in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: Carr has been the definition of average three games into his career with the Saints, although the absence of Alvin Kamara (suspension) and a below-average offensive line has not helped his cause. The Buccaneers appear to be a good matchup on paper, but they have managed to hold three very good quarterbacks (Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts) to a total of six touchdowns through three games. Carr should only be considered in superflex or two-quarterback leagues if he plays this weekend.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Huddle Up: Carr likely will not be able to play in the Week 4 game but has not been ruled out at this point. Fantasy players should look for other options and can avoid Carr until he recovers from the injury.
Posted 9/25/2023 11:00 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara was removed from the Reserve/Suspended list Monday, Sept. 25.
Huddle Up: Kamara should be available for the Week 4 game and probably will receive a big role right away in the offense. He should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/25/2023 5:42 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is considered week-to-week with a sprained AC joint but has not been ruled out yet in Week 4, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
Huddle Up: Carr likely wasn't going to be in any starting lineups as a mid-QB2. Jameis Winston would be the replacement if Carr misses any time.

New Orleans Saints RB Tony Jones Jr. posted eight rushes for 31 yards in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, while adding four receptions for 21 yards on his four targets.
Huddle Up: Jones saw 12 total touches after his two-touchdown performance in relief in Week 2. However, his fantasy appeal is about to dry up, as rookie Kendre Miller made his NFL debut Sunday, and, more importantly, Alvin Kamara is back from a three-game suspension next week. If you added Jones for some reason, drop him from all but the deepest of fantasy rosters heading into Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Posted 9/24/2023 10:16 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) was active for the first time this season in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, rushing nine times for a team-best 34 yards, and he had one catch for no gain on his lone target.
Huddle Up: While Miller led the backfield in Week 3 with nine rushes to eight for Tony Jones Jr., neither of those backs are likely to be the bellcow going forward. Alvin Kamara returns from his three-game NFL suspension in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he is expected to be the alpha back once again.
Posted 9/24/2023 10:13 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston completed 10-of-16 passes for 101 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, finishing up after QB Derek Carr (shoulder) left the game with an injury.
Huddle Up: The extent of Carr's injury isn't yet known, but Winston could be in line to start Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his original NFL team, if Carr is forced to the shelf. Even if Winston starts, he is nothing more than a low-end QB2 only worth using in leagues which require two starting signal callers.
Posted 9/24/2023 7:00 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) left the Week 3 game early because of a shoulder injury and is considered questionable to return. He will be undergoing X-rays on the shoulder.
Huddle Up: There is a chance Carr suffered a serious injury, so fantasy players will need to keep an eye out for an update. Jameis Winston will be the starter of Carr misses time but would only be an option in two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 9/23/2023 8:21 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Sept. 23.
Huddle Up: With Williams set to miss the next four games, managers can pivot to Kendre Miller as a potential flex option. Alvin Kamara also is scheduled to return from his suspension in Week 3.
Posted 9/22/2023 10:44 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Hill likely will be involved in the running game this week since Jamaal Williams will not play in the game. He could be a possible starting option as a tight end in some deeper leagues even if he is not involved in the passing game.
Posted 9/22/2023 10:40 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Miller likely will receive a role in the offense this week since Jamaal Williams is unavailable. Some fantasy players in deeper leagues can consider Miller as a possible flex option, but players can also wait to see him play in a game before considering him for their lineups.
Posted 9/22/2023 10:39 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and has been ruled out for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Tony Jones Jr. and Kendre Miller probably will share the carries this week with Williams sidelined. Jones can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues, but fantasy players may want to wait before adding Miller to their lineups.
Posted 9/21/2023 9:09 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 21.
Huddle Up: Hill has not been part of the passing game over the first two weeks of the season but did lead the team in rushing in the last game. He should continue to be used as an offensive weapon for the Saints and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end if he is designated that way in leagues.
Posted 9/21/2023 9:07 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 21.
Huddle Up: Miller is on track to make his NFL debut this week and probably will share playing time with Tony Jones Jr. during the game. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues, but fantasy players could also wait to see how he is used before considering him for their lineups.
Posted 9/21/2023 9:03 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 21.
Huddle Up: It seems like Williams will not be available for the Week 3 game and could miss more time because of the injury. Tony Jones Jr., Kendre Miller and Taysom Hill could all see carries in the game if Williams is unavailable. Hill can be a low-end No. 1 tight end, while Jones and Miller have a chance to be flex options in some deeper leagues.
Posted 9/21/2023 12:16 am GMT
New Orleans Saints practice squad RB Tony Jones Jr. was signed to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Sept. 20. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Jones played well in relief in Week 2 and could receive the start this week if Jamaal Williams not available to play. Jones could be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/20/2023 11:05 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.
Huddle Up: It appears like Miller will be making his season debut in Week 3 and could receive a decent role right away because of Jamaal Williams' injury. Miller could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues, but fantasy players may want to see him play in a game first.
Posted 9/20/2023 11:03 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.
Huddle Up: Hill was the team's leading rusher in the Week 2 game and should receive a decent amount of touches again this week if he is cleared to play. He can be considered a starting option in fantasy leagues if he is designated as a tight end in a league.
Posted 9/20/2023 10:59 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. The Saints did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Williams suffered the injury in the last game and could miss some time because of the injury. Fantasy players can monitor the situation during the week but may want to look for other options.
