The Saints and TE Juwan Johnson agreed to terms on a 3-year, 30.75M deal that maxes out at $34.5M, per The Insiders. He gets 21.25m guaranteed. An important move in New Orleans.

A perennial favorite in the TE streaming streets, Johnson finally hit 50 receptions last season (50-548-3) and should be in the running to put up modest-to-good numbers, even with Hill and Moreau in town. He's not draftable in typical redraft leagues, but makes a good TE3/stack option in best ball.

The Saints have placed TE Taysom Hill (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.

We're projecting for Johnson to be the biggest beneficiary of the hybrid tight end missing the rest of this season, and he makes for a good streaming option for managers in need on this week with six byes.

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Dennis Allen says Taysom Hill will be listed as questionable on the injury report and was limited on Friday.

"If he's able to go, he'll be out there."

Hill is always a candidate to stream at TE (where eligible) when he's healthy, but not so much if we're worried about his already-funky snap count. This could be the week he runs in a goal-line touchdown or gets five targets, but it's just as likely that he barely sees the field. He's not a recommended play in Week 3, unless you're truly in need of his boom/bust potential.

The New Orleans Saints have placed TE Juwan Johnson, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, LB Nephi Sewell and DE Chase Young on the physically unable to perform list, placed T Ryan Ramczyk on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, placed WR Chris Olave on the non-football injury list

In a follow-up tweet, Nick Underhill mentions that Olave is "battling a little back tightness. Not a significant situation and he'll be fine." It seems like this is more precautionary than anything. We'll keep an eye on the situation as we get through training camp.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson is scheduled to undergo foot surgery next week that will sideline him “a while”. The hope and belief for now is that he will be back for the start of the season.

Taysom Hill needs to be targeted anywhere that has him with TE eligibility. A foot surgery seems more impactful than Johnson coming back by Week 1 but he should still be on fantasy radars with the Saints so bereft of pass-catching talent behind Chris Olave.

Saints’ HC Dennis Allen said WR Chris Olave will play Thursday night vs. the Rams.

Related Players: Alvin Kamara, Rashid Shaheed, Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson, A.T. Perry

Olave hasn't had the best connection with QB Derek Carr this season, but he still represents his best option when on the field, and should be considered a WR2 in Week 16. Even with their struggles, the sophomore wide receiver has averaged 14.4 half-PPR points per game over his last five.

WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

Taysom Hill has foot and left hand injuries. He’ll be evaluated throughout the week. He didn’t practice today

Hill is coming off of yet another great fantasy performance, rushing 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 15 yards. He should be a great TE option in Week 14, but not if he can't find his way back to practice by Friday.
