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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Posted 9/19/2023 9:18 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is expected to miss "some time" due to a hamstring injury, per sources Tuesday, Sept. 19.
Huddle Up: With Williams on the mend, the Saints likely will turn to rookie Kendre Miller and Tony Jones Jr. until Alvin Kamara returns from his suspension in Week 4. Jones Jr. may be a desperation flex play in deeper leagues for Week 3.
Posted 9/19/2023 3:21 am GMT
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) left the Week 2 game against the Carolina Panthers, and he did not return. He finished with nine runs for 29 yards, and he wasn't targeted in the pass game before departing.
Huddle Up: Williams broke Barry Sanders' single-season rushing touchdown record in Detroit in 2022, but he has gotten off to a slow start in the Big Easy. This hamstring injury certainly doesn't help. Tony Jones Jr. filled in, and Taysom Hill also ran the ball well, and those are the fantasy options to target if Williams is unavailable against his original NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, in Week 3.
Posted 9/19/2023 3:14 am GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Tony Jones Jr. picked up 34 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 attempts in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers, and he did not have a catch on two targets in relief of the injured RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring).
Huddle Up: Jones certainly didn't gobble up huge chunks of real estate, and his longest run was just six yards. However, he was strong down near the goal-line, and he could be a decent stopgap option in Week 3 in Green Bay if Williams isn't available against his original NFL team. His potential one-week fantasy appeal (think DFS) hinges on the health of Williams, and if Kendre Miller's hamstring improves and the rookie can make his debut. Alvin Kamara is out for at least one more game due to his suspension, but once he returns, Jones will go back to fantasy obscurity.
Posted 9/18/2023 9:59 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) has been declared inactive for the Week 2 game.
Huddle Up: Miller seems to be making progress but is not ready to play yet. Jamaal Williams will continue to receive most of the work at running back for the Saints and can be a flex option in some leagues.
Posted 9/16/2023 11:45 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Saturday, Sept. 16, and is questionable on the final Week 2 injury report.
Huddle Up: Miller might make his debut Monday night but it's best for managers to keep him on the bench until we see a solidified workload for the rookie.
Posted 9/15/2023 11:02 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 15.
Huddle Up: It seems like Johnson is dealing with a minor injury and should be fine for Week 2. He should be considered a No. 2 fantasy tight end at this point can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 9/15/2023 11:00 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 15.
Huddle Up: Miller seems to have a chance to play in the Week 2 game, but he may only see a limited workload if he is active for the game. Fantasy players probably should see him play in a game or two before considering him for their lineups.
Posted 9/14/2023 9:49 pm GMT
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 14.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Johnson is in any danger of missing the Week 2 game. He was targeted five times in the Week 1 game but is only a No. 2 fantasy tight end at this point.
Posted 9/14/2023 9:48 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) was officially limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 14.
Huddle Up: Miller did not play in the season opener but seems to have a chance to be in uniform in Week 2. He is a risky option because the Saints play on Monday Night Football, so fantasy players may want to keep him on the bench this week.
