New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.
Huddle Up: Shaheed has caught a touchdown in each of the first two games and will continue to be a deep threat in the passing game for the Saints. He should see a decent amount of targets this week and can be a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/18/2024 9:17 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill (chest) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.
Huddle Up: Hill suffered the injury during the last game, so his status for Week 3 is uncertain at this point. He will see a handful of touches in the running and passing game if he plays in Week 3 but is not a strong option for fantasy players.
Posted 9/15/2024 8:59 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught four passes for 81 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Olave bounced back after a disappointing Week 1 performance and will continue to be an important part of the passing game for the Saints. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/15/2024 8:57 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed caught four passes for 96 yards and one touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. He also rushed for 13 yards on three carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Shaheed is averaging around 24 yards per catch and has caught a touchdown in each of the first two games. He should continue to see some deep passes thrown to him in the upcoming weeks and can be at least a flex option in leagues because of his big-play ability.
Posted 9/15/2024 8:52 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams rushed for 39 yards on eight carries against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2.
Huddle Up: Williams has received a decent amount of carries over the first two weeks and should receive a similar workload next week. He probably can be avoided in most leagues unless Alvin Kamara suffers an injury.
Posted 9/15/2024 8:45 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. He also caught two passes for 65 yards and one touchdown during the game.
Huddle Up: Kamara will continue to be a big part of the running and passing game as long as he healthy and is a must-start option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/15/2024 8:41 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr went 11-for-16 for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2.
Huddle Up: Carr has not posted outstanding passing yards over the first two weeks but does have five touchdowns during that span. He has multiple options to throw to in the passing game and is becoming a weekly starting option in two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 9/15/2024 7:47 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill (chest) suffered a chest injury during the Week 2 game and is considered doubtful to return.
Huddle Up: It seems like Hill could miss some time because of the injury, so fantasy players should look for an update on him in the next day or two. He has some fantasy value because his ability to run and throw but is not a weekly starting option.

New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (finger, hip) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 13, but is not on the injury report for Week 2.
Huddle Up: Shaheed is now dealing with a hip injury in addition to his finger injury, but he still appears to be on track to play this week. He has the ability to make big plays in the passing game and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 9/13/2024 8:03 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 2.
Huddle Up: Williams will see a decent amount of carries this week against the Dallas Cowboys and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 9/11/2024 8:09 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (finger) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Huddle Up: Shaheed reached the end zone in the season opener and was the leading receiver for the Saints during the game. He has value because of his big-play ability and could be a flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 9/11/2024 7:59 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Huddle Up: Williams received 12 touches in the Week 1 game and was able to reach the endzone. He may not receive as many touches this week but should still have a decent role in the offense. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 9/08/2024 9:29 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave was limited to just two receptions for 11 yards on two targets in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Fantasy managers shouldn't push the panic button, although it is a little disconcerting to see 47 points on the board for the Saints, and this little production. The Saints got out to a giant, early lead, and it powered down the pass game quite quickly. Rashid Shaheed had the big splash play just three minutes into the game with a 59-yard TD, but even he didn't go over 100 yards. Don't look too much into this, as Olave is still a WR1, it was just a strange game. The Saints will have a much more competitive game in Week 2 at Dallas, and Olave is sure to have a much heavier workload.
Posted 9/03/2024 2:43 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara said he doesn't want to discuss a contract extension during the season.
Huddle Up: Kamara finished as the RB12 in 13 games last year, thanks in part, to his 75 catches out of the backfield. He has never rushed for 1,000 yards, but he remains a good combo back as an RB2.
Posted 8/27/2024 5:51 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) is expected to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Head coach Dennis Allen has been publicly critical of Miller's lack of durability, but the truth of the matter is that the second-year back will probably not have much of an issue overtaking Jamaal Williams once he can string together a few practices. Miller makes for a great IR stash in fantasy leagues and could easily carve out a role for himself before November.
Posted 8/20/2024 8:07 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (foot) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
Huddle Up: Expect Johnson to practice in a limited fashion for the rest of the week after missing the entirety of training camp and preseason work to this point. Johnson's ability to be a weekly starter in fantasy is not in question, but his durability to this point of his NFL career has been. Under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Johnson should have an opportunity to push for low-end TE1 production on occasion if he can stay on the field.
Posted 8/16/2024 1:15 am GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller's (hamstring) lingering injury is frustrating head coach Dennis Allen, and Allen reiterated that Miller will not be able to make the team from the trainer's table.
Huddle Up: Miller's stock has been dropping throughout the offseason, and while he should still make the roster, he doesn't look poised to steal many touches from Alvin Kamara or Jamaal Williams. Miller is a late-round gamble.
Posted 8/14/2024 9:19 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 14, because of back tightness.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Kamara misses extended time because of the injury. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues if healthy.
Posted 8/04/2024 3:32 am GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is "going to give out problems" in the team's new offense, according to DE Cameron Jordan.
Huddle Up: Olave has topped 1,000 yards in each of his first two years, and he set career highs in receptions, targets and yards last season. His ceiling could be limited by having Derek Carr under center, but Olave should at least deliver a WR2 campaign.
Posted 7/30/2024 7:11 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (hip) reportedly landed awkwardly during practice on Tuesday, July 30, and exited with a "hip issue," according to head coach Dennis Allen.
Huddle Up: Allen either could not or did not want to get into specifics, so this will be a situation to monitor over the next day or two. Olave is poised for a big season under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak in an offense that promises to be more creative than the one New Orleans has run since former head coach Sean Payton left. Olave should ideally be considered a high-end WR2 but can serve as a low-end WR1 on certain fantasy teams.
Posted 7/25/2024 5:32 am GMT
Updating an earlier report, New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) dropped out of practice on Wednesday, July 24, due to a hamstring issue, per head coach Dennis Allen, who said afterwards that it was "hard to make the team when you're in the training room all the time."
Huddle Up: Despite Allen's comments, it's hard to imagine the team is anywhere close to giving up on Miller, who was a third-round pick last year. Plus, at age 22, he's much younger than Alvin Kamara or Jamaal Williams, who are the other primary options on the depth chart. Still, Miller missed nine games as a rookie, so durability is something to be concerned about. Assuming he outlasts Williams for the RB2 role, Miller looks like a decent choice as a fourth or fifth back for fantasy owners.
Posted 7/24/2024 9:57 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) passed his physical Wednesday, July 24, and has been activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
Huddle Up: Olave will be a big part of the passing game this season and likely will be a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 7/23/2024 10:36 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) will be a limited participant during practice Wednesday, July 23.
Huddle Up: Olave is believed to be dealing with a back injury and likely will be eased back into practice. He will be the main option in the passing game for the Saints and should be a starting fantasy option most weeks.
Posted 7/23/2024 10:32 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, July 23, despite his contract situation, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
Huddle Up: Kamara left minicamp early because of his contract but seems to be ready to practice during camp. He is a big part of the Saints offense when healthy and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 7/23/2024 6:37 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara reported for the start of training camp despite his frustration over his contract situation, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Kamara skipped some of the team's mandatory minicamp practices, but it appears there will be no drama regarding his contract for now. The bigger question for Kamara is how he fits into new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme and how much work he will lose to 2023 draft pick Kendre Miller. Kamara's pass-game role should remain a key part of the offense, so fantasy managers should feel relatively good about his ability to deliver at a RB2 level.
Posted 7/20/2024 8:40 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed agreed to a one-year contract extension worth $5.2 million, according to sources Saturday, July 20. The extension is for the 2025 season.
Huddle Up: Shaheed has a chance to be a sleeper as the No. 2 behind Chris Olave in the Saints offense. Managers should view the deep threat as a fringe WR3 with upside, especially in best-ball formats.
Posted 7/19/2024 12:55 am GMT
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) is dealing with some back tightness but is not expected to miss much time, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Olave may miss a few practices but should be fine for the regular season and could see some playing time during the preseason. He can be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 7/18/2024 9:14 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (foot) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, July 18.
Huddle Up: Johnson is recovering from offseason foot surgery and may miss a good amount of training camp but is expected to be ready for Week 1. He should see a handful of targets each game and can be a No. 2 fantasy tight end.
