Team news: New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints are signing WR Jarvis Landry.

Related Players: Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris, Tre'Quan Smith, Chris Olave

Landry automatically slots inside with rookie WR Chris Olave opposite Michael Thomas in 3WR sets. Landry may not be the most dynamic WR but he is another trusted wideout that has the most recent NFL experience-talent combo on the Saints roster since Thomas sat out 2021.

The New Orleans Saints are signing QB Andy Dalton to a one-year deal.

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Ian Book

Dalton will back up Winston. His signing also means the Saints probably see Ian Book as nothing more than a clipboard holder.

Saints HC Dennis Allen told reporters that the plan for Taysom Hill is to play him at tight end.

The re-signing of Jameis Winston was the apparent death blow to Hil's time at quarterback. With Sean Payton no longer in New Orleans, the fetishism of Hill under center appears to be over.

The New Orleans Saints have re-signed WR Tre-Quan Smith to a two-year deal.

Smith sets up to be the third receiver in three-wide sets with Michael Thomas returning from injury and Marquez Callaway stepping up with Thomas hurt last season. Smith needs to show he is healthy in order to be a fantasy-relevant player.

QB Jameis Winston is staying with New Orleans, agreeing to a two-year deal with the Saints.

Hill had to have foot surgery and will now have competition with Winston once again. Winston was more of a game manager with the Saints in 2021, but that could change with Sean Payton no longer coaching.

The Cleveland Browns have released WR Jarvis Landry.

The team could not trade the veteran wideout and decided to cut bait. Landry is a solid possession receiver that fits the WR3 mold in fantasy at his next stop.

Saints QB Taysom Hill will undergo Lisfranc surgery and will need a second surgery to remove the hardware needed to complete the first surgery, according to Saints HC Sean Payton. There is no recovery timetable at this moment.

This is a major surgery for Hill, especially considering how important his running prowess is to his overall game. Best wishes in recovery.

Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) is questionable for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Ingram did not practice Thursday and Friday, so his status is truly questionable.

With Justin Fields in COVID-19 protocols, QB Andy Dalton will start for the Chicago Bears Week 18 according to HC Matt Nagy.

Dalton has some upside in 2QB or Superflex leagues, but that is about it.
