Saints starting RB Jamaal Williams, still on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury, is expected to be activated and will play tonight vs. the Jaguars.

While the news shouldn't have you rushing to put Williams, fresh off IR, onto your squad, it does lower the ceiling of the rest of the Saints, as the former Lion is an adept goal-line presence. Once he gets his footing, he could be a fantasy option in positive matchups.

Saints’ RB Jamaal Williams is expected to need “some time” to recover from his hamstring injury, per HC Dennis Allen.

It's another hit for the Saints backfield as Kamara is still suspended for two more games. But, the good news is Miller is expected to make his debut in Week 3. However, it could be an a messy situation until Kamara gets back and the team could opt to include Hill into the rushing attack like they did in Week 2. Jones carried 12 times for 34 yards but scored twice. Hill ran nine times for 75 yards.

Technically, the Saints now have four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.

As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the team shifted the designation of Taysom Hill from tight end to quarterback. He had been listed as a tight end for all of camp.

The story went on to say that under that approach, Derek Carr would serve as QB1, Hill would fill the role of QB2, and Jameis Winston or rookie fourth-rounder Jake Haener would be the emergency third quarterback. The third quarterback could play only if both Carr and Hill were both unavailable due to injury or ejection. If that’s what the Saints do, it’s a creative application of the rule. The second quarterback can play at will and line up at other positions like tight end; only the emergency third quarterback is restricted to operating under center, the story said. However, it won't help fantasy owners much if Hill is only listed as a QB.

Free agent tight end Foster Moreau, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma earlier this year, has agreed to a contract with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed, but agent Joe Linta told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Moreau's contract is for three years and worth $12 million, including $8 million guaranteed and $3 million in incentives.

Moreau has the go-ahead to return to the football field next week. The Saints will begin their OTA sessions on May 23, although it's unclear yet how much he'll participate. The Saints have been in need of a veteran tight end after trading Adam Trautman to the Denver Broncos during the 2023 draft. Trautman told ESPN that he requested a trade in February and that the Saints brought in some veteran tight ends during free agency, including Moreau.

DA says the decision to go with Andy Dalton is a an “offensive decision.”

The tweet added the Saints are going to continue what they’re doing with Dalton. Head coach Dennis Allen said that Winston is healthy but it's all about performance. Hill will likely steal some work at the QB spot as well, but Dalton could at least be a streaming option in deeper, two QB leagues.

As this week of preparation begins, I’m told that Jameis Winston still isn’t 100% healthy yet.

The tweet went on to say we’ll see how that impacts the team at QB this week. If Winston can't go, Dalton likely gets the call with Hill mixing in. The Saints host the Raiders in a nice matchup in an early Sunday game.

"Signs are pointing towards" Andy Dalton making his fourth consecutive start. Though Jameis Winston is off the injury report, he has not gone through a full practice since Week 1.

Both Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas have already been declared out which makes Dalton a very easy fade in fantasy this week, particularly when we know that Taysom Hill will have his own packages to work out of. Speaking of Hill, he is a must-start at TE unless you have one of the elite, top-three options.

Andy Dalton has joined Jameis Winston on the Saints' injury report.

According to the Saints' OurLads page, the team isn't currently carrying a quarterback on their practice squad, which would make Taysom Hill the team's only option for QB if Andy Dalton is forced to miss Thursday Night Football. With TE eligibility, he would be a no-brainer fantasy start.

WR Chris Olave continues to progress through the concussion protocol while teammates Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry both missed practice.

With the Saints' odd —if effective— usage of Taysom Hill, it's hard to say who would benefit if Thomas and Landry miss Week 6. Olave would be the most obvious choice, but after him and may just be Hill and Alvin Kamara. Marquez Callaway is the next best bet but we currently have him ranked as the WR52.

Saints QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle) was limited at today’s practice, according to the injury report.

Perhaps the biggest question regarding a Winston return is the usage of Hill. But we reported Tuesday a Winston return could mean even more snaps for Hill, who also had to serve as the backup to Dalton with Winston out. Winston didn't practice last week so this could be a good sign.
