New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 15, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Kamara hasn't played since he exited Week 12's game with this injury. While there's hope Kamara can return before this season ends, the Saints might continue to explore what they have in rookie Devin Neal, who has been operating as their workhorse back. Neal makes for a volume-based RB2 this week against the Panthers. |

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (abdomen) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) may need to miss another game. That puts Neal in line for a starter's workload. Neal rushed 19 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 14 win over the Buccaneers. If Kamara is out and Neal is cleared to play, he's an RB3/flex option in Week 15. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: Kamara has missed the last two games with a knee sprain, and he's unlikely to play this week. It's Wednesday, so as always check back on Friday to double check his status. Devin Neal would be in line for another large workload if Kamara is out again. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 13 of his 20 passes for 144 yards and an interception and ran seven times for 55 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: There were rookie mistakes, as Shough was sacked three times and had an interception after a miscommunication with WR Chris Olave. But with his second win. Shough is giving the Saints hope. In addition, his 21.3 fantasy points ranked sixth at his position through Sunday's late-afternoon games, and the running plays were impressive. Shough's 34-yard rushing touchdown was the longest by a non-Taysom Hill Saints QB in franchise history. Shough is also the first non-Hill Saints QB with multiple rushing TDs in a game since Drew Brees in 2018. The Saints play the Panthers in Week 15. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, and Olave had eight receptions on 12 targets for 63 yards in a Week 8 meeting with Tampa Bay.
| Footballguys view: Tyler Shough is trying to show enough in his rookie season for the Saints to feel good about him at least competing for the starting job in 2026. The best way to produce is to make sure Olave is involved in the passing attack as much as possible. He's got a back injury, and those are tricky to deal with. However, Fantasy GMs can feel comfortable with him as a WR2 option on a weekly basis. |
New Orleans Saints practice squad WR Kevin Austin was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 6, and will be available for the Week 14 game.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: This back injury popped up on last week's injury report, and Olave played through it while posting 47 receiving yards and a score. Olave is trending to play, but fantasy managers will want to check in Sunday morning. If Olave can't go, the Saints play early enough that there will be plenty of pivot options to choose from. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: In Kamara's absence, rookie Devin Neal dominated touches last week. The Buccaneers aren't the vaunted run defense they have been in years past, putting Neal firmly into the RB3 discussion as an option with sneaky upside. |

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. |
