New Orleans Saints WR Devaughn Vele managed just a single 15-yard reception on three targets in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: It was expected that Vele could see an expanded role after Rashid Shaheed was traded to the Seattle Seahawks prior to the trade deadline, but Vele's role was mostly unchanged. If you scooped him up in deeper leagues, keep him, just in case he starts to jell a little with Tyler Shough. But, there is no sense retaining him elsewhere.

New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson absorbed all four of his targets for a career-high 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Johnson has scored touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 17-31, 2023 when he had TDs in three consecutive outings. He has put up consistent numbers lately, re-emerging as a solid low-end TE1 in PPR fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave ended up with five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Olave had his first 100-yard game of the season, and he is really jelling nicely with rookie QB Tyler Shough. He has managed at least 54 receiving yards in all 10 of his games, and that's shocking considering the subpar QB play for most of the season in the Big Easy. Olave has been a solid WR2 in all fantasy leagues this season.

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal rushed four times for 22 yards in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding three receptions for nine yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: Neal saw a handful of touches with Alvin Kamara nursing an ankle injury coming in. However, the starter seemed to get stronger as the game went along. Neal was a player to target with Kamara on the trade block in the past week. But, with Kamara sticking around in the Big Easy, and now apparently healthy, Neal can be safely dropped outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 22 times for 83 yards in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, while posting three receptions for 32 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: Kamara entered the game with a questionable tag due to an ankle injury, but he certainly showed no ill effects of the injury. The rushing yardage total was his highest since he had 99 yards in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. He hasn't scored since Week 1, so treat him more as a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option until further notice.

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 19-of-27 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, and he ran four times for minus-3 yards for his first NFL victory.
Huddle Up: Shough certainly looked good at times against a team which has been playing good defense. Shough showed a nice rapport with Chris Olave, as that pair hooked up five times for 104 yards and a touchdown. Despite the solid statistics, Shough is still nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues, but this was certainly promising.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is listed as questionable for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Kamara was limited all three practices this week but should still have a good chance to play in Week 10. He has posted decent numbers so far this season, but his involvement in both the running game and passing game help his fantasy value. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 5.
Huddle Up: Kamara only had 18 total yards in the last game on seven touches and has been held under 10 touches in each of the last two games. He can still be a flex option in fantasy leagues because he has shown he can be productive when he has the ball in his hands.
Posted 11/05/2025 3:49 am GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Devaughn Vele has played sparingly, but he is likely to see an increase in playing time following the trade of WR Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks. Vele has played only 40 percent or more of the team's offensive snaps once this season, and he hasn't had more than two catches or 13 yards at any point.
Huddle Up: Chris Olave is the top receiver for New Orleans, but it's possible Vele scoots up to a starting role, after the team paid a huge premium to bring him in during the offseason. While his role will almost certainly expand, Vele is only a player worth monitoring, as erratic QB play in New Orleans has really sapped the fantasy value of most of the offensive players.

New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks ended up with two receptions for 16 yards in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Cooks has been a tremendous fantasy option for many seasons, but he has 26 or fewer yads in each of his nine games, while posting four or fewer targets eight times. He is best left to the waiver wire outside of the deepest of leagues.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:42 am GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson posted three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Johnson hauled in the first TD of Tyler Shough's NFL career. It was his first score since Week 2, but Johnson has managed at least three receptions in three straight, and seven of his nine games. He has been a solid TE2 in PPR leagues, and occasionally he has risen up to that low-end TE1 neighborhood. He'll look to keep up the good work in Week 10 at Carolina.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:35 am GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave ended with three receptions for 57 yards on four targets in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Olave has been super consistent this season, going for 54 or more receiving yards in eight of his nine games, and that's shocking considering that the QB play in New Orleans has been anything but consistent. Olave has been a solid low-end WR2 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues, with slightly lesser appear in standard play. He'll look to keep up the good work in Carolina in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:29 am GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal ran three times for 11 yards in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, while he finished with a single reception for one yard on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Neal is obviously not someone to key on for fantasy purposes right now, but if Alvin Kamara is moved, Neal could jump to the front of the line for carries in New Orleans, as Kendre Miller is out for the season. Neal is a wait-and-see player at the moment, and only worth adding in leagues with deep, deep rosters for the possibility of being an RB1 down the stretch for a bad Saints team.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:25 am GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran six times for just 14 yards in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding a 3-yard reception on three targets while he was credited with a lost fumble.
Huddle Up: Kamara had an awful day, and fantasy managers hope he is moved to a contender, as perhaps it will jump-start his game. Right now, teams are stacking the box to contain the run game, daring the team's young quarterbacks to beat them. Neither Spencer Rattler previously, not Tyler Shough, have shown an ability to pass consistently, and that's crushing Kamara's fantasy value.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:18 am GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 15-of-24 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he ran once for two yards in his first NFL start.
Huddle Up: There are going to be growing pains with Shough, but apparently this is a long-term QB change. He could eventually be a fantasy option worth consideration, but for now, he is best used as a low-end QB2 at most.
Posted 11/02/2025 6:48 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for the Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: Kamara should see most of the work at running back this week and will be involved in both the running game and passing game. He can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/01/2025 3:24 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is trending towards playing in Week 9's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
Huddle Up: Kamara had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited participant in all three of New Orleans' practice sessions during the week. If he is declared active, he should see a decent number of touches and can be deployed as an RB2 or flex option in fantasy lineups.
Posted 10/31/2025 6:32 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Olave will be working with a new quarterback this week but should continue to be the main target in the passing game for the Saints. He will see a good amount of targets during the game and can be a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 10/31/2025 6:25 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (neck) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Johnson has been more involved in the passing game recently but will be working with a new starting quarterback this week. He should see a handful of targets during the game, but fantasy players may want to see his chemistry with Tyler Shough before considering him for their lineups.
Posted 10/31/2025 12:01 am GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: Kamara will be receiving most of the work at running back again this week and could be a popular target in the passing game for Tyler Shough. He will see a good amount of touches during the game and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.
Posted 10/30/2025 3:13 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara has only been targeted three times on screen plays through eight weeks after multiple seasons of 16 targets on screen plays.
Huddle Up: Kamara is the RB23 in PPR leagues, which is a little low, but the quarterback play could be part of his lack of usage in screen calls. The Saints are turning it over to rookie Tyler Shough this week, and Kamara remains a low-end RB2 option against the Los Angeles Rams if his ankle ailment allows him to go.
Posted 10/29/2025 11:56 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough will start in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday, Oct. 29 that the plan is for Shough to be the starter for the rest of the year.
Huddle Up: It's a tough first matchup for the 2025 second-round draft pick, as the Rams allow just 6.4 yards per pass attempt, which is tied for the fourth-best mark in the NFL among pass defenses. The Rams have allowed just one pass play of 40 or more yards, too. Shough is a low-end QB2 fantasy starter at best, with some viability in long-term dynasty formats.
Posted 10/29/2025 11:25 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Huddle Up: Olave has caught at least six passes in six of his eight games this season and has been targeted at least 10 times in three of his last four games. He will continue to be the one of the main options in the passing game with Tyler Shough starting and will be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 10/29/2025 11:22 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Huddle Up: Johnson has caught five passes in each of the last two games and could be a reliable option for Tyler Shough in his first career start. He probably will not be a starting option in most fantasy leagues but could be a possible option in some deeper leagues.
