Saints could stay motivated until the end

Dec 06, 2009

The Saints may be a shoo-in to win the NFC South, but they are not guaranteed the home-field advantage in the playoffs, because Minnesota is also unbeaten in the conference. In fact, the Vikings are pushing the Saints to remain unbeaten, because there's no way they want to travel to Minneapolis for a potential NFC championship game.

Raiders TE Darren Waller continues to miss practice due to

This coincides with a recent report from The Athletic that Waller has missed "five practices in a row."

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter continues to say that it is "not considered serious." Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported that the time away for Waller has meant more looks for Foster Moreau, who has "looked to be more well-rounded as a receiver and blocker." Darren Waller can't take another seismic hit to his value and still remain a fourth-round fantasy pick; he's already being squeezed out of target share from newly-acquired Davante Adams.

Rodrigue would continue, "His hands are sharp, his speed is there, and he got more reps, especially with WR3 Van Jefferson recovering from knee surgery."

Fantasy Impact:

Tutu Atwell —all 165 pounds of him— is incredibly unlikely ever to become an every-down player, but the Rams presumably took him with the 57th-overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft for a reason. The article mentions that if the season started tomorrow, with Van Jefferson still sidelined, that there would be a committee approach behind Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson. It's a long shot, but if Atwell can squeeze into a WR3 role for the Rams he would become an interesting late-round addition to best ball, "non-managed" leagues.

The same hip injury that recently forced Ryan Fitzpatrick into retirement has sadly done the same to pass-catching specialist James White.

Related Players: Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery, Pierre Strong

Fantasy Impact:

One of —if not the— best pass-catching running backs of his generation, White will hang up the cleats at 30 years old. In his steed, it clears the way for Stevenson to continue working on third downs, while dark horse veteran Ty Montgomery could find himself with a bigger workload than we would have imagined when he signed with the team.
