New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints news, rumors and injuriesTue, 21 Aug 2018 15:25:50 -0700 New Orleans Saints WR Josh Huff was waived Tuesday, Aug. 21. Comment () | Share: Saints | Terrance West released Tue, 21 Aug 2018 07:50:30 -0700 New Orleans Saints RB Terrance West was released Tuesday, Aug. 21. Fantasy Tip: West still has value, but the Saints have a slew of backs trying to cover for Mark Ingram's suspension behind stud Alvin Kamara. He should latch on somewhere quickly and could be a low-end RB3 in the right situation.

Comment () | Share: Saints | Marcus Davenport to resume practicing Sun, 19 Aug 2018 06:44:50 -0700 New Orleans Saints DE Marcus Davenport (thumb) is expected to practice this week and make his preseason debut versus the Los Angeles Chargers Saturday, Aug. 25, according to head coach Sean Payton. Comment () | Share: Saints | Marcus Davenport back at practice Sat, 18 Aug 2018 16:10:28 -0700 New Orleans Saints DE Marcus Davenport (thumb) returned to practice on a limited basis Saturday, Aug. 18. Comment () | Share: Saints | Cameron Meredith makes debut Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:38:23 -0700 New Orleans Saints WR Cameron Meredith (knee) was able to make his preseason debut Friday, Aug. 17, against the Arizona Cardinals. He was only targeted once and failed to catch the pass right at it which was intercepted after it bounced into the air. He wasn't happy with his performance, but felt good as he makes his final steps in his recovery. "It felt great," Meredith said. "Just getting out there, getting in the groove of things." Fantasy Tip: Meredith suffered a torn ACL and torn MCL in a preseason game last August as a member of the Chicago Bears. He played the entire first half and didn't show any ill effects of his injury. If he can regain his form and build up his stamina, he has WR3 upside while working with Drew Brees and the high-octane New Orleans offense. Comment () | Share: Saints | Devaroe Lawrence injured in loss Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:36:45 -0700 New Orleans Saints DT Devaroe Lawrence (lower body) suffered an apparent lower body injury in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 17, against the Arizona Cardinals. He was able to walk off under his own power, however. Comment () | Share: Saints | Jonathan Williams gets his shot Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:35:41 -0700 New Orleans Saints RB Jonathan Williams saw some work with the first-team offense in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 17, against the Arizona Cardinals. He had a seven-yard run and a 19-yard rush behind the first-teamers, but he appeared to miss a blitz pickup in the second quarter. Fantasy Tip: Williams has had a couple of decent performances in the preseason, as he challenges veterans Shane Vereen and Terrance West for the third running back job behind Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. Unless one of the stars in the top two spots go down, whomever wins the No. 3 job is still not terribly useful from a fantasy perspective. Comment () | Share: Saints | Both NOLA backup QBs shaky is loss Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:34:40 -0700 New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill made the start in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 17, against the Arizona Cardinals, but he committed a total of four turnovers. QB Tom Savage came on and completed 6-of-7 passes for 53 yards, although he was sacked three times. Both are competing with J.T. Barrett for the primary backup job behind QB Drew Brees. Comment () | Share: Saints | Tre'Quan Smith goes for 60 yards Fri, 17 Aug 2018 21:36:15 -0700 New Orleans Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith caught three passes for 60 yards in a 20-15 preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals Friday, Aug. 17. Comment () | Share: Saints | Drew Brees retiring after Super Bowl win? Fri, 17 Aug 2018 10:21:16 -0700 New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees will retire after this season if the Saints win the Super Bowl, former teammate Reggie Bush said in an on-camera interview released Friday, Aug. 17. If not, Bush said Brees will keep playing. Fantasy Tip: Brees will turn 40 in January, and even though his passing yards (4,334) and TDs (23) hit 12-year lows last season, other metrics -- including an NFL-record 72.0 completion percentage and a league-leading 8.1 yards-per-attempt average -- show the QB is still going strong. He's a solid candidate to bounce back into mid-level QB1 territory, even if it does prove to be his final season.
