New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave ended up with four receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Olave didn't have a big game, but he was able to score and still put up good numbers for the WR3/Flex spot he occupies in fantasy lineups. Tyler Shough is likely to have a high passing volume next week against the Bucs to keep Olave an important part of a winning fantasy lineup. Olave has been one of the best mid round wide receiver picks in fantasy this season. |
New Orleans Saints WR Devaughn Vele registered game highs with eight receptions, 93 yards and eight targets in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, and he also had a touchdown reception.
| Footballguys view: Vele's length and good hands made him a dependable possession target for Tyler Shough in a game where he showed why the Saints would give up a third round pick for him during the season. He's worth an add across leagues and should be a consideration as a WR3/Flex play against the Bucs in Week 14. |
New Orleans Saints TE/QB Taysom Hill had just a single 2-yard rush and a 5-yard reception on his lone target in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.

New Orleans Saints RB Evan Hull rushed five times for 15 yards in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, and he was not targeted in the passing game.

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal rushed 14 times for 47 yards in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, while absorbing all three of his targets for 22 receiving yards.
| Footballguys view: Neal had a slow start, but got going early in the second half and looks capable of being the starter against the Bucs next week if Alvin Kamara has to miss another week with his knee injury. Keep expectations low against the good Tampa run defense, but Neal will be a what-the-heck flex play if he's the starter. |
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 26-of-38 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, while rushing six times for 18 yards and a lost fumble.
| Footballguys view: Shough was picked to end his one good first half drive, but kept fighting in the second half and had two chances to extend the game late in the fourth quarter after the Saints looked to be out of it at halftime. He is creating fantasy value in the Saints passing game and should be a viable QB2/Superflex play against the Bucs next week. |
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints S Justin Reid (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game because of his knee injury.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and has been ruled out for Week 13. WR Chris Olave (back) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. RB Devin Neal (ankle) and OT Taliese Fuaga (ankle) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara sidelined, Neal is expected to lead the backfield against a beatable Miami run defense. Audric Estime and Taysom Hill will likely see some touches, but rookies who get late-season opportunities are often league-winners. If Neal's fresh legs translate into big plays while Kamara is out, he could far exceed projections. Get him in your lineup as a high-end RB3 this week. |
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: It's never a good sign when a player pops up on the injury report midweek. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Saints play early. If Olave can't suit up, there will be plenty of pivot options. It's encouraging that Olave has maintained any participation in practice, but it's good practice to have an alternate line up just in case. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game but is not a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: MCL sprains can vary in severity, making his return hard to predict. Adam Hutchison projects a Week 17 comeback, keeping him mostly off the fantasy radar this year. He's worth a stash in case he does return, but in his absence, Devin Neal, Aucris Estime, and Taysom Hill are expected to handle most of the backfield touches. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and WR Chris Olave (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27. RB Devin Neal (ankle) was limited during practice, while OT Taliese Fuaga (ankle) fully participated in practice.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on the Kamara situation. Neal would be in line for a larger role, but he's also dealing with his own injury. |

| Footballguys view: Neal is in line for a larger role with Alvin Kamara (knee) banged up. He's a powerful runner, and the rookie is built to take on a large workload between the tackles. We'll see what he can do on Friday as the Saints prepare to take on the Dolphins in Week 13. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Kamara might be shut down for the time being to get healthy, and the Saints are getting their depth tested at the position. Devin Neal and Audric Estime are the only other running backs on the 53-man roster, with Evan Hull stashed on the practice squad. We'll know more as the week of practice goes on.

Free-agent WR Samori Toure (Packers) signed with the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints Tuesday, Nov. 25, and WR Jha'Quan Jackson was released, according to a source.
Link to storyFree-agent PK Cade York (Bengals) was signed by the New Orleans Saints to an undisclosed deal Tuesday, Nov. 25. PK Blake Grupe was released.
| Footballguys view: York and former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker were scheduled to have tryouts on Tuesday. Since 2022, York has spent time with the Browns, Titans, Giants, Commanders, and Bengals. He had not yet been on a roster in 2025. He has made 45 of 33 field goals, for a career success percentage of 73.3. York has also made 51 of 54 extra points. |
Alvin Kamara has an MCL sprain, a source tells NewOrleans.football's Nick Underhill.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is likely to miss time. It could be a week. Maybe more, but Underhill stressed this is "nothing super serious or threatening long term." He also noted that Kamara and his recovery team have beaten timelines before to get back on the field sooner than expected. Devin Neal and Audric Estime are the only other running backs on the 53-man roster, with Evan Hull stashed on the practice squad. But it was Taysom Hill seeing the lion's share of rushes when Kamara was ruled out in Sunday's Falcons game. We'll be watching for more here. |
