Saints | Chris Olave shines in Week 17 Sun Dec 28, 05:45 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave posted game highs with eight receptions, 119 yards and 11 targets in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he also scored a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Olave was an elite fantasy WR1 with Tyler Shough. He'll play under his fifth year option next season, but expect the team to make a push to get Olave signed long term this offseason. He'll be drafted no later than the second round in fantasy drafts next year. |
Saints | Taysom Hill sees three total touches Sun Dec 28, 05:44 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill registered three runs for no yards in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he did not attempt a pass nor was he targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: We can say now that the Saints featured Hill last week as a possible send off for a unique player in front of the fan base that embraced him. Hill did get a few short yardage carries early that were unsuccessful, and then the Saints didn't go back to him. |

Saints | Evan Hull runs twice in Week 17 Sun Dec 28, 05:41 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Evan Hull rushed twice for three yards in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, while he was not targeted in the passing game.

Saints | Audric Estime flirts with century mark Sun Dec 28, 05:25 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime rushed 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he added a 4-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Estime was a dud last week as the Saints put Taysom Hill in on key running plays during his possible last home game with the Saints. This week, he was the clear lead back and put up the RB2/Flex worthy game that many expected last week. |
Saints | Tyler Shough throws for 333 yards, two TDs Sun Dec 28, 05:16 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 22-of-27 passes for a career-high 333 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, while running four times for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Shough was a big fantasy hit for anyone who trusted him even though he is a second round pick rookie who is playing with Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson and a bunch of receivers and running backs who weren't on NFL teams at the beginning of the season. The Saints have their quarterback and head coach in place and can start building for the future. |

Saints | Tyler Shough expected to play Fri Dec 26, 04:43 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Shough practiced in full all week, and his inclusion on the injury report was precautionary. He's looked good over the last few weeks, eclipsing 300 passing yards for the first time in his career last week. He's high in the streaming tier for championship matchups and a strong option for fantasy managers dealing with quarterback injuries. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and has been ruled out for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: It will be a surprise if Kamara plays again this year. He left Week 12's game with this injury and hasn't even practiced since. Taysom Hill, Audric Estime, and Evan Hull should split the backfield work. |

Saints | Chris Olave questionable for Week 17 Fri Dec 26, 03:09 PM
New Orleans WR Chris Olave (back) is questionable for Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Olave's limited practice was precautionary, and we expect him to play. Olave has played through this back injury for the last few weeks. Still, he's having a career season and warrants usage as a WR1 in fantasy. |

Link to story Saints | Four receptions for Mason Tipton Sun Dec 21, 07:11 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Mason Tipton caught four passes for 29 yards on five targets against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also rushed for 12 yards on one carry during the game.
Link to story Saints | Juwan Johnson catches eight passes Sun Dec 21, 07:07 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught eight passes for 89 yards against the New York Jets in Week 16. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: With Devaughn Vele on injured reserve, the Saints target tree narrowed to Chris Olave and Johnson, making him a strong Week 16 play. It didn't hurt that Tyler Shough threw the ball 49 times against a weak Jets defense. Johnson will be a solid TE1 play in Week 17 catching passes from a former college teammate. |

Saints | Outstanding game for Chris Olave Sun Dec 21, 07:02 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught 10 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets in Week 16. He was targeted 16 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: If you were facing Puka Nacua, hopefully you had Olave, whose day was capped by a 38-yard touchdown catch from Taysom Hill in garbage time. Olave's draft cost was down significantly this summer, but no one knew that Tyler Shough would arrive as a starting quarterback and Rashid Shaheed would be traded during the season. Olave will be a strong WR1 start against the Titans in Week 17. |
Saints | Evan Hull not a big factor Sun Dec 21, 06:59 PM

Saints | Audric Estime posts 36 total yards Sun Dec 21, 06:54 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime rushed for 19 yards on five carries against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also caught three passes for 17 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Estime was a productive back in limited work after Devin Neal went down in Week 15, but any chance he had to make a fantasy impact in Week 16 went by the wayside when the team decided to feature Taysom Hill in the backfield. He'll go back to the waiver wire from whence he came. |
Saints | Taysom Hill part of all parts of offense Sun Dec 21, 06:46 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill rushed for 42 yards on 12 carries against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also caught four passes for 36 yards during the game and threw a 38-yard touchdown pass.
| Footballguys view: The Saints seemed to be done with the Taysom Hill show earlier this season, but the injury to Devin Neal opened the door for him to have a signature run/pass/catch big fantasy game, capped by a 38-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave in garbage time. Hill fumbled early in the game, but that didn't daunt the Saints from making him a cornerstone of the offense. He'll be a consideration in Week 17 lineups with so many ways to put up fantasy points. |

Saints | Tyler Shough throws for over 300 yards Sun Dec 21, 06:45 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough went 32-for-49 for 308 yards and one touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards in two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Shough has settled in as a low-end QB1 in the second half of the season. He'll be a consideration in fantasy championship lineups with a good matchup against the Titans in Week 17. |

Saints | Tyler Shough cleared for Week 16 Fri Dec 19, 04:02 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough (hip) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 19, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Shough has provided some sneaky value recently, averaging as the QB8 over the last three weeks. The Jets matchup is favorable, putting Shough into the streaming discussion for Week 16. |
