Per ESPN Research, Hill is the first player with three rushing touchdowns, 50 receiving yards and one pass completion in a game since the Chiefs' Ed Podolak in 1971. |

Link to story Saints | Chris Olave could return this season Mon Nov 11, 03:30 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) has not been ruled out for the remainder of the season, interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Monday, Nov. 11.
| Footballguys view: The Saints placed Olave on injured reserve Saturday after he sustained two concussions in three weeks, so he will miss at least four games as he seeks answers from specialists after taking repeated hits to the head area in at least three games this season. Olave has sustained four confirmed concussions since he was drafted in 2022. New Orleans has placed both of its top receivers on IR this season. Rashid Shaheed had season-ending knee surgery. For fantasy purposes, Olave can't return until Week 14 at the earliest. Marques Valdez-Scantling, who had a massive game against the Falcons in Week 10, Mason Tipton, Kevin Austin Jr., and Dante Pettis were the team's top receiving assets in the win over Atlanta. |

Saints | Marquez Valdes-Scantling shines in win Sun Nov 10, 08:33 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught all three of his targets for 109 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: Without receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, the Saints turned to Valdes-Scantling, Kevin Austin Jr., and Dante Pettis. Valdes-Scantling, signed a few weeks ago, became the first Saints player since Brandin Cooks in 2016 to score two touchdowns and have more than 100 receiving yards in a half. Valdes-Scantling became only the second receiver to gain 100 yards versus the Falcons this year (Rashee Rice also did it in Week 3). MVS will be a highly-coveted waiver-wire target in coming days. The Saints play the Browns in Week 11. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara makes history Sun Nov 10, 08:31 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara became the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards during a 20-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, finishing with 17 carries for 55 yards and catching five passes for 54 yards.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN's Marc Raimondi, the prevailing topic among Falcons defenders this past week was stopping Kamara. That was a goal that did not pan out. Kamara had 109 yards from scrimmage. More importantly, he continued to get the volume that has him sitting at RB2 on the season (pending Sunday night and Monday night's outcomes). Kamara's 20.7 points per game are mainly due to the veteran averaging better than 21 touches per game. He's on pace to finish the season with 368 touches. For perspective, San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey led the NFL in touches last season with 339. |

Link to story Saints | Chris Olave expected to land on injured reserve Sat Nov 9, 02:13 PM
The New Orleans Saints are expected to place WR Chris Olave (concussion) on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 9, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The move puts Olave out of action for the next four weeks. Olave was carted off the field with the second concussion of his career in Week 9. Since the Saints aren't going to the postseason, it may be a plan to shut him down for the rest of the year. |
Saints | Jamaal Williams unlikely to play Sat Nov 9, 02:13 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is not expected to play in the Week 10 game after aggravating his groin injury during practice this week.
| Footballguys view: Without Williams behind starting RB Alvin Kamara, the Saints will turn to Taysom Hill for change-of-pace back work. Hill is already in line for a larger role in the Saints offense with WR Chris Olave (concussion) on IR. With TE designation in most leagues (and an all-purpose role), Hill has flex appeal and TE1 upside in Week 10 against the Falcons. |

Saints | IR stint a possibility for Chris Olave Fri Nov 8, 03:10 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) appears to be a strong candidate to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list, according to comments made by interim head coach Darren Rizzi on Friday, Nov. 8.
| Footballguys view: Olave might not play again this year in a lost season for the Saints. He should be held onto in redraft fantasy leagues - even ones without an injured reserve slot - because of his ceiling, but Olave shouldn't rush back with the Saints leaning into the rebuild now. |
Saints | Erik McCoy designated to return Fri Nov 8, 10:14 AM
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints C Erik McCoy (groin) was designated to return from IR Thursday, Nov. 7.
| Footballguys view: McCoy is one of the best offensive linemen on the Saints roster, so his eventual return could help slow the deterioration of their offense. If he's on the field against the Falcons, that should help Alvin Kamara's outlook. |
