Team news: New Orleans Saints

Alvin Kamara, Bryan Bresee, Cesar Ruiz are out.

Related Players: Audric Estime, Evan Hull, Taysom Hill

This profiles as another Swiss army knife kind of day for Taysom Hill, who could legitimately have 10-15 opportunities and a potential pass attempt or two. There are a lot of good TE streaming options this year, but if you're looking for a very solid floor play out of your tight end spot, Hill could be one of the best pieces to win a Fantasy Championship with.

Saints placed RB Devin Neal on injured reserve, bringing an end to his rookie season.

Related Players: Evan Hull, Audric Estime

It's anybody's guess how this RB snap share will work out, but the most likely scenario is Estime taking a majority of the early down work, with Hull taking a good chunk of the third-down snaps. The Saints don't currently have any other names on the practice squad, but that doesn't mean they won't make some type of move ahead of the weekend. We don't recommend starting any Saints RBs in Week 16.

Saints HC Kellen Moore already has ruled out both RB Devin Neal and WR Devaughn Vele for Sunday’s game against the Jets.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara is out for Sunday’s game vs. Carolina.

Looks like it could be another week of Devin Neal, who found the end zone en route to a 14.9-point day against the Buccaneers. With Kamara still sidelined, consider him a fringe RB2/3 option in Week 15.

RB Alvin Kamara and RT Asim Richards remained absent from Saints practice Thursday. And DT Davon Godchaux was absent as usual, as the Saints routinely rest him on Thursdays.

RT Taliese Fuaga was practicing again. And S Justin Reid appeared to increase his participation.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara, who injured his knee last Sunday, is out for Sunday’s game vs the Dolphins. The Saints are not planning to place him on IR.

Related Players: Devin Neal, Taysom Hill

Neal figures to get the vast majority of the "traditional" RB touches in Week 13, but Taysom also handled ten rush attempts with Kamara's Week 12 injury, so we'd expect him to eat into the workload as well. Neal is a low-upside RB3, while Hill *could* be considered a TE streamer, though there are less thin options on the WW in a week with no byes.

The Saints are releasing K Blake Grupe. Cade York has been signed to replace him.

The Saints also worked out Justin Tucker, who is off his 10-game suspension but ultimately went with York. Grupe has kicked for the Saints since 2023.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara is believed to have suffered a knee sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.

Kamara will undergo an MRI on Monday but it’s believed he does not have a major injury. Devin Neal would take over as the lead back while Kamara is out and the Saints will likely mix Taysom Hill in as well. Kamara may not miss a lot of time, but with the team sitting at 2-9, the Saints also don’t need to rush him back.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara left Sunday’s game against the Falcons with a knee injury.

He was originally deemed questionable to return, but about 45 minutes later, was officially ruled out for the remainder of the game. Devin Neal will move into the lead role. Kamara had 15 yards on five touches.

Seattle’s already strong passing game has just picked up another big-play threat.

The Saints are trading wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks, according to NFL Network.

Shaheed was a strong trade candidate by many before the deadline and he's now a deep threat for the Seahawks. This likely pushes Horton to the team's WR4 assuming Kupp is back healthy at some point. Horton was just coming off an impressive game against the Commanders with Kupp out. Meanwhile for the Saints, Olave remains at least for now and is the team's WR1, but behind him there are lots of questions as Cook and Vele seem to be next up. Johnson, the Saints TE, looks to be the second target overall in the passing game.
