Saints | Blake Grupe rolls up 17 points in Week 1 Sun Sep 8, 05:34 PM
New Orleans Saints PK Blake Grupe was a perfect 4-for-4 on his field-goal attempts in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, including successful makes of 52 and 57 yards. He also added five point-after attempts for a total of 17 points.

New Orleans Saints WR Mason Tipton had a 6-yard reception on his lone target in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
Link to story Saints | Chris Olave quiet in Week 1 blowout Sun Sep 8, 05:29 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave was limited to just two receptions for 11 yards on two targets in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: It seems almost impossible that Olave could have this stat line in a game where the Saints scored 47 points. The tight ends and Rashid Shaheed accounted for all of the scores, and the Saints didn't need to pass in the second half. Things should get better for Olave, but he'll face Trevon Diggs next week at Dallas. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara opens with 110 scrimmage yards, TD Sun Sep 8, 05:21 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 15 times for 83 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding five grabs for 27 yards on his five targets.
| Footballguys view: Jamaal Williams touchdown and most of his carries came in garbage time, so know that this is still Kamara's backfield. The Saints won't have many cake walks like they did in Week 1, but Kamara doesn't appear to be slowing down in his age 29 season. |

Saints | Derek Carr tosses three touchdowns Sun Sep 8, 05:19 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr completed 19-of-23 passes for 200 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding 13 rushing yards on two attempts. He was rested late in the second half with a lopsided score, giving QB Jake Haener some time under center.
| Footballguys view: Carr was nearly flawless, but the Panthers pass defense was lethargic. This is a ceiling game for Carr, which is great if you took him late in best ball or relied on him as a superflex, but things should get tougher at Dallas next week. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara talks ceasing Tue Sep 3, 10:43 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara said he doesn't want to discuss a contract extension during the season.
| Footballguys view: Kamara skipped the team's offseason program and left their mandatory minicamp a day early to make his desire for a new contract known. Now that we know a new deal won't come this season, veteran running back can focus on getting back on track in new coordinator Klint Kubiak's offense. Last year, Kamara was held to a career low in rushing yards (694) and yards per carry (3.9), his second-fewest receiving yards (466) and his second-fewest touchdowns (six) in 13 games. Nonetheless, Kamara was RB5 on a points-per-game basis from Weeks 4 through 18. Given that outcome, and with Kubiak running a 49ers-style offense, Kamara should get the volume necessary to keep fantasy managers happy this year. |

The New Orleans Saints claimed RB Kene Nwangwu (Vikings) off waivers on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
| Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick out of Iowa State in the 2021 NFL draft, Nwangwu has speed and skill as a return man. That's likely to be his best chance of making an impact with the Saints. The move reunites Nwangwu with OC Klint Kubiak, and we'll see if the former Vikings OC can get more from him as a tailback. |

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) is expected to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Miller has not practiced since injuring his hamstring on the first day of training camp in July. The earliest Miller will be able to return from IR will be the team's Week 5 matchup against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. A third-round choice in the 2023 NFL Draft out of TCU by the Saints, Miller also dealt with various injuries as a rookie. As SI.com notes, his latest setback has drawn public scrutiny from New Orleans coach Dennis Allen on two occasions. Until then, the Saints have a solid duo in five-time Pro Bowler Alvin Kamara and veteran backup Jamaal Williams. |

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) has not practiced since the start of training camp because of a hamstring injury, and head coach Dennis Allen said it has been hard to evaluate Miller since he has dealt with multiple injuries since entering the NFL last year and does not know if Miller will be able to learn the offensive system.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of TCU in the 2023 NFL draft, Miller only played in seven games as a rookie. He did flash in Week 18 against the Falcons with 13 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown. However, he's oft-injured and drawing the ire of his head coach. The Saints could turn to Jamaal Williams or Taysom Hill for more work in the backfield behind Alvin Kamara. |

New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (foot, toe) is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time because of his injury, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Allen said Shaheed is not dealing with turf toe.
| Footballguys view: Consider it a blessing if Shaheed is not dealing with a turf toe. Instead, this regular toe injury may not keep him out of regular-season action. Fantasy GMs in leagues that reward points for return yards love Shaheed, and in traditional PPR formats, he's worth rostering as a 'what the heck' flex candidate every week. |
