New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is trending towards playing in Week 9's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Kamara should be out there, but he's clearly not 100 percent and it's rookie QB Tyler Shough's first start of his career. The Rams should be in control of this game, and things could be ugly for the Saints offense. That makes Kamara more of a flex play than an RB2 in Week 9. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Olave's 83 targets this year ranked second behind only Ja'Marr Chase. However, he's the per-game WR20. The Saints offense hasn't led to much production, and they may be taking another short-term step backward by starting rookie Tyler Shough. He's a volume-based WR2 this week. |

New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is listed as questionable for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed had 12 targets last week, his most of the season. There's hope that he could build off the connection we saw with Tyler Shough, who is getting his first career start. However, most fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach with the Saints where they can. Shaheed has been a consistent name buzzing in trade deadline discussions. If active, the Saints might try to showcase him a bit in this matchup. Still, he's deep in the receiver rankings this week, carrying a lot of risk for those brave enough to start him. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara has only been targeted three times on screen plays through eight weeks after multiple seasons of 16 targets on screen plays.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is not the same player he used to be, and he's not getting used on screens the way he used to be either. Fantasy GMs have noticed the difference, and that's why Kamara is more of an RB2/flex play than he is a set-if-and-forget-it RB1 like in the past. |

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough will start in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday, Oct. 29 that the plan is for Shough to be the starter for the rest of the year.
| Footballguys view: The Saints selected Shough in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft with the idea he could be their starter. He didn't begin the season as the starter, and Spencer Rattler got enough time to try and prove himself (but he struggled). Now, it's time to see if Shough can flash or if the team needs to start thinking quarterback early in the 2026 NFL draft. | 
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle), RB Devin Neal (ankle), WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) and CB Alontae Taylor (shoulder) were limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 29. TE Juwan Johnson (neck) and WR Chris Olave (ankle) fully participated in practice.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Olave dealt with this ankle injury last week, even missing Wednesday's practice, but was playing in Week 8. He's ready to go for Week 9 against the Rams, and Olave is a WR2 for Fantasy GMs. | 
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson (neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: We'll see Johnson catching passes from Tyler Shough going forward. Rookie quarterbacks usually lean on tight ends, so that could give Johnson a bit of a boost. He's a borderline TE1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Kamara's ankle injury has been bothering him for quite some time now. He's playing with the injury, but his effectiveness is not the same it used to be. Kamara is more of an RB2/flex play for Fantasy GMs. |

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough will start in place of QB Spencer Rattler in Week 9, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Moore benched Rattler in favor of Shough midway through Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. This week's game against the Rams will be Shough's first NFL start. He completed 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards, one interception, and no touchdowns against the Bucs after entering with the team trailing 17-3. Before Sunday's loss, the rookie had only seen limited action at the end of a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. The hope is that a full week of first-team reps will help Shough, but a tough Rams defense will be a challenge. | 
Saints head coach Kellen Moore hasn't decided who will start at quarterback against the Rams next Sunday. Spencer Rattler has started all eight games for the Saints this season, but Moore replaced him with Tyler Shough during the third quarter of Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers. Moore said that he expects to make a decision soon so that the team's choice has as much time as possible to get ready for the game. "We'll make a decision shortly and just go down that path so we can maximize as many reps and opportunities as we can going forward," Moore said.
| Footballguys view: As PFT noted, Moore said after Sunday's game that he doesn't want to flip-flop between quarterbacks, and he was asked on Monday if going back to Rattler would be doing exactly that. Moore said Sunday's change was an attempt to find a "spark" for the entire offense rather than solely a response to the way Rattler was playing, but Rattler now has six turnovers over the last two games, and that may signal that it is time for the second-round pick to move up to the first team. |

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough replaced QB Spencer Rattler during a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8, completing 17 of his 30 passes for 128 yards and an interception. He also added 12 rushing yards.
| Footballguys view: The team's plans for the position in Week 9 were a central part of head coach Kellen Moore's postgame press conference. Moore said he was looking for a "spark" when he pulled Rattler in favor of Shough while down 14 points in the third quarter. Moore did not say which route he will go against the Rams next Sunday, but said he's not into "flip-flopping" and will make a decision in the next 48 hours so that the quarterback can get a full practice workload this week. Stay tuned. |
