New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 7.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.
| Footballguys view: Johnson has faded after a hot start and can be dropped in redraft leagues. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara has no injury designation, will play against Steelers Fri Oct 23, 10:41 AM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) has no injury designation and will play against the Steelers on Sunday. Kamara was limited in practice this week. He briefly left last Sunday's win over the Giants before returning to the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has worked through a litany of injuries since preseason but has been a sneaky fantasy play. He's the RB27 in PPR, providing high-end RB3 production. Especially with Travis Etienne Jr. still on IR, Kamara deserves consideration as an RB3/flex play this week against the Steelers. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara remains limited in Thursday practice Thu Oct 22, 04:23 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) remained limited in practice on Thursday. The Saints are already in France for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Steelers and had few changes to their Thursday injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has been playing at less than full strength this year. He's the passing-down back for the Saints, and that gives him RB3/flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. |

Saints | Tyler Shough full participant again Thursday in Paris Thu Oct 22, 03:46 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough (left hand) was a full participant in practice on Thursday in Paris. It was his second straight full session after he also practiced fully on Wednesday. Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his non-throwing hand.
| Footballguys view: Shough is good to go for the game against the Steelers in Paris. Even battling through broken bones in his non-throwing hand, we like Shough as a low-end QB1 in Week 7. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, per GM Mickey Loomis Wed Oct 21, 09:23 AM
Saints WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, general manager Mickey Loomis said on Wednesday. Tyson, a rookie first-round pick, is on injured reserve with a hamstring strain and has been designated to return.
| Footballguys view: He made the trip to Paris with the team for the Week 7 game against the Steelers. However, Tyson could still be a couple of weeks away from returning to the field. Bryce Lance will be the no.2 receiver behind Chris Olave in Week 7, and we've got him in the super crazy deep 'what the heck' flex range. Olave is a WR1 as per usual. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson makes trip to Paris for Week 7 game Mon Oct 19, 10:51 AM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) made the trip to Paris ahead of New Orleans' Week 7 game against the Steelers, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is currently on injured reserve. The fact that he's making the trip suggests his recovery is going well. Remember, Tyson was previously described as "weeks away" from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target. We'll be watching for more. |

Saints | Johnson held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Giants Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 34-27 win over the New York Giants. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: The Saints pass offense didn't do a lot of the heavy lifting for the team in Week 6, and Johnson's fantasy output was one of the casualties. He'll head to Paris and face the Steelers next week with a bye up in Week 8. He's not an essential hold in short-bench leagues if he's not your most productive tight end. |

Saints | Shough throws for 144 yards, three touchdowns in win over Giants Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 5 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the New York Giants. He was projected for 17.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.0.
| Footballguys view: Shough wasn't a dangerous downfield passer, but he was a courageous runner and made the plays in the red zone (along with an inspired 31-yard catch and run touchdown by Alvin Kamara on a day that he became the sixth player in NFL history to get to 5000 yards receiving and rushing) including a quarterback sneak touchdown. He is playing with two breaks in his left hand and faces a tough Steelers defense next week, so maybe Shough is not an automatic play despite the big fantasy result today. He'll have a bye in Week 8 to heal with a favorable schedule for fantasy production in the second half of the season. |

RB Alvin Kamara returns from brief absence Sun Oct 18, 02:15 PM

Saints | Alvin Kamara questionable for Week 6 against Giants Fri Oct 16, 02:02 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Giants. Kamara played through the back injury against the Vikings last Sunday, finishing with 12 yards on three carries in the loss.
| Footballguys view: Kamara showed some early-season burst after returning from a preseason MCL sprain. But this back injury seemed to completely zap his explosiveness last week. There was hope Kamara could be useful in PPR leagues while Travis Etienne Jr. is on IR, but nothing from last week suggests a strong performance, and a Friday questionable tag only adds to the uncertainty. Desperate managers can plug Kamara in at flex, but you should find a better option if possible. |

Saints | Chris Olave questionable for Sunday against Giants Fri Oct 16, 02:02 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Giants. Olave was among three Saints players who were sick on Wednesday and was not seen at practice again on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: A sickness was reported to be spreading through the Saints' locker room before last week's kickoff, and Olave seems to have caught it. After missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned Friday, albeit in a limited capacity. He's trending toward playing, but check back Sunday morning to confirm. |

Saints WR Chris Olave was not seen at practice again on Thursday. Olave was one of three Saints players who were sick on Wednesday. New Orleans visits the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's an illness designation, so hopefully Olave is feeling better soon. Against the Giants in Week 6, Olave is a WR1 if healthy. |

Saints | Tyler Shough a full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 05:00 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough (left hand) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Saints here. Shough said after Sunday's loss to the Vikings that he was unsure whether his left hand was broken, calling it "banged up." The Saints play at the Giants on Sunday. We like Shough as a QB2 with upside in Week 6. |

Saints | Chris Olave among three Saints players 'sick' on Wednesday Wed Oct 14, 04:26 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was sick on Wednesday. DTs Nathan Shepherd and Vernon Broughton were also sick. Olave was limited in practice last Thursday with a foot injury and was seen in a walking boot, but head coach Kellen Moore said last Friday that he was "fine."
| Footballguys view: The bad news is a trio of players is sick. The good news is it's just Wednesday, so there's plenty of time to get to feeling better. Olave caught 4-of-6 targets for 46 yards in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Vikings. If out there against the Giants, Olave is a top-tier WR1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, Kellen Moore says Mon Oct 12, 02:54 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday. Tyson is on injured reserve and was previously described as 'weeks away' from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target.
| Footballguys view: With Tyson sidelined, Devaughn Vele has emerged as a legitimate fantasy play. Vele is currently the WR22 overall with an average of 12.4 points per game. Expect Vele to remain viable for our purposes until Tyson returns. |

Saints | Shough unsure if left hand is broken, says it's 'banged up' Sun Oct 11, 04:42 PM
Saints QB Tyler Shough was asked after Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings whether his left hand was broken and said he wasn't sure he could answer that, but that it's banged up.
| Footballguys view: Shough was upgraded to full practice on Thursday after dealing with the left-hand injury earlier in the week. He was blitzed on 91% of his dropbacks in the first half and threw two picks. He completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards -- for a 38.1 passer rating -- in a game that would have been a blowout if not for the Saints' own defensive turnovers. Shough and the Saints will try to regroup against the Giants in Week 6. |

Saints | Shough held to 96 passing yards in loss to Vikings, possibly playing with fracture in left hand Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 16.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.8.
| Footballguys view: This box score should just encourage you to sit your quarterback if they are facing the Vikings and you are unsure if they are your best option. Shough's left hand was taped up and he was listed on the injury report with a hand injury before the game. He said he's not sure if his hand is broken, so we'll want to keep him on the bench in 1QB leagues against the Giants next week if we can help it. The Vikings get Daniel Jones and the Colts after the bye, followed by Detroit, Buffalo, Green Bay, San Francisco, Atlanta, Carolina, New England and Detroit again in a two-month run that will show us just how good this defense is. |

Saints | Kamara held to 12 yards on 3 carries in loss to Vikings Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran 3 times for 12 yards and also caught 2 passes for -6 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Kendre Miller was effective in the red zone and CJ Donaldson pitched in a few carries, but this was also a very tough matchup, so we will give Kamara a pass for his low output. Kamara isn't an essential hold in short bench leagues as the Saints head to New Jersey to face the Giants in Week 6. |

Saints | Chris Olave 'fine' per Moore despite walking boot, carries no injury designation Fri Oct 9, 02:07 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was in a walking boot on Thursday after going from a rest day on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday with a foot issue. Head coach Kellen Moore said Olave is fine, and the receiver has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Teams have been pretty liberal with the use of walking boots lately, so don't panic. Olave heads into Week 5's matchup with no injury designation and has plenty of experience operating at a high level while managing injuries. He's a must-start player this week even against an aggressive Vikings defense. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara questionable for Week 5 vs. Vikings Fri Oct 9, 02:04 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Kamara did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Kamara was limited again on Friday and seems more likely to play than not after logging back-to-back days. If he's active, Travis Etienne Jr.'s absence pushes him into RB2 consideration. If he can't go, touches would likely be split between Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson, both of whom would project as risky RB3s. |

Saints | Chris Olave at practice Friday Fri Oct 9, 01:53 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was at practice on Friday. Olave was a limited participant on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Olave is no stranger to managing and playing through injuries during his young NFL career. He appears on track to play this week and, assuming he's active, he's a plug-and-play WR1. Coming out of Week 4, he led the NFL with 48 targets. He's a certified target hog in a high-volume offense. If he's active, start him. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson still 'weeks away' from return; Week 7 earliest target Mon Oct 5, 09:18 AM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson, who is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, is still weeks away from returning to action, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is eligible to come off injured reserve as soon as Week 5, but Week 7 currently looks like the earliest point he would be back in the lineup, per Schefter. The Saints face the Steelers in Paris in Week 7 and have their bye in Week 8. Tyson, a first-round pick, will miss Monday night's game against the Falcons and has yet to make his NFL debut. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson sprinting off to the side, working on stopping and starting Sat Oct 3, 01:57 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson was sprinting off to the side at practice on Saturday, working on stopping and starting.
| Footballguys view: Tyson, a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, had injury concerns coming out of Arizona State. He sustained a complex knee injury (torn ACL/MCL/PCL) in 2022, a fractured collarbone in 2024, and multiple lingering hamstring strains through 2025 and 2026. It's wise for the Saints to take their time with the talented but oft-injured receiver. When he resumes practicing, we'll have a better idea when he could make his NFL debut. |

Saints | Travis Etienne Jr. to IR with hamstring injury, will miss at least four games Thu Oct 1, 04:41 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, head coach Kellen Moore announced on Thursday. Etienne will miss at least four games, starting with Monday night's game against the Falcons. He leads the Saints with 30 carries and 128 rushing yards, and Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson are the team's other running backs. The Saints signed WR Kevin Austin Jr. off the practice squad to fill the roster spot; Austin appeared in the first three games as a temporary elevation and has one catch for seven yards.
| Footballguys view: With a bye in Week 8, the earliest we can see Etienne out there is Week 9. In the meantime, Alvin Kamara takes over as the lead back for the Saints. Kendre Miller will get some work too, and CJ Donaldson might get an increase in touches. Against the Falcons on Monday night in Week 4, Kamara should perform like an RB2/flex option. |

Saints | Kellen Moore says there will be 'time lost' for Travis Etienne Jr. with hamstring issue Mon Sep 28, 02:54 PM
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday there will be "time lost" for RB Travis Etienne Jr. with his hamstring issue. Etienne left Sunday's loss to the Raiders after grabbing the back of his left leg.
| Footballguys view: According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Etienne apparently battled a hamstring injury throughout the week. Etienne had 57 rushing yards before leaving the game on Sunday, which was a season high for the new Saint. Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller were splitting work with Etienne out. Kamara appears to be first man up and should be the waiver-wire add of choice here. The Saints play the Falcons in Week 4. |

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. left the field with a limp in the third quarter against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. He was initially designated as questionable, but did not return.
| Footballguys view: Etienne appeared to hurt his leg as he ran out of bounds to end a 16-yard run for a first down, although the Saints did not immediately announce an injury. He went to the medical tent before heading back to the locker room. According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, he reportedly battled a hamstring injury throughout the week.

| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell noted, Shough was cooking until two fourth-quarter turnovers. The second-year QB showed an ability to move the offense at a level not seen in New Orleans in years. But Shough, who was making his 12th start, showed he still has some growing to do. Also, the Saints will have to get better about protecting their QB in key moments. New Orleans will play the Falcons in Week 4. |

Saints | RB Travis Etienne Jr. returns to full practice Fri Sep 25, 02:15 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Etienne was limited early in the week, but there was never any concern that he wouldn't be ready to go for this Sunday. The concern is entirely his workload, as he's split touches with Kendre Miller in Week 1 and Alvin Kamara in Week 2. He's an RB3 heading into this matchup against the Raiders. If his role grows, we'll have confidence ranking him a bit higher in future weeks, but it's hard to do that given what we've seen through the first two. |
Travis Etienne Jr. player page
Saints | RB Kendre Miller returns to full practice Fri Sep 25, 02:15 PM
Saints RB Kendre Miller (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being held out of an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Miller's absence yesterday was listed as an illness, so there's no injury to worry about here. However, Miller was inactive last week. With CJ Donaldson playing on special teams, he'll get the game-day nod over Miller. Expect Travis Etienne Jr., Alvin Kamara, and Donaldson to be active on Sunday, and Miller to be a healthy scratch again. Even if the Saints change their plans up, it's hard to project Miller in a fantasy-relevant role. |

Travis Etienne Jr. limited again, Kendre Miller added to injury report with illness Thu Sep 24, 05:57 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. Etienne has 17 carries for 71 yards through the first two games. RB Kendre Miller (illness) was added to the injury report as a non-participant, and WR Barion Brown (hamstring) did not practice again. DE Chase Young (calf) returned to full participation.
| Footballguys view: The Saints offense is exciting, but it's fair to say after two contests that Etienne is disappointing Fantasy GMs. Alvin Kamara returned to the field last week and robbed Etienne of snaps, touches, and opportunities. Etienne rushed eight times for 25 yards in the Saints' Week 2 win over the Ravens, adding two receptions for six additional yards. This week against the Raiders, consider Etienne a deep RB3/flex option. |
