Saints HC Dennis Allen told reporters the team will start QB Andy Dalton on Sunday.

Since a 4 TD game (with 3 INTs) with 361 yards on Oct. 20, Dalton has trended downward with 229 yards, 210 and last week just 174 against the Steelers. He's thrown four TDs and three INTs in that same three game span. You can argue it's a little surprising the team didn't make the switch following the loss to Pittsburgh, so Dalton could be on a short leash assuming Winston is ready to go.

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.

Saints QB Jameis Winston has no injury designation for tomorrow night's game vs. the Cardinals.

HC Dennis Allen declined to say if Winston would start or if they'll stick with Andy Dalton. This will be one to watch for owners heading into Thursday night against the Cardinals. Taysom Hill could also remained involved.

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.

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.

Saints coach Dennis Allen maintained that they always had a plan [to have Taysom Hill involved at QB].

While Winston's injury seemed to be the catalyst for Hill taking quarterback snaps again at practice, keep in mind Hill was also injured and missed time before Winston got hurt. As the story pointed out, if Winston returns as a starter, it would make even more sense for Hill to have a bigger role because he would not be an immediate backup at quarterback and thus not as big of an injury concern. Hill has scored the last two weeks and makes for a sneaky TE play if your league allows it.

Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas were not at the open portion of Saints practice today.

Terrell later tweet that HC Dennis Allen said the only update on Winston is that he's still rehabbing and is getting better. "We're just trying to get him healthy." Dalton played fairly well in the team's loss to the Vikings in London. Unfortunately for owners, Hill stole a touchdown late in the game. With Winston out, Hill will likely continue to see some gadget plays lining up at QB. Hill rushed five times for 21 yards in the game.

The Saints have ruled QB Jameis Winston out for Week 4 against the Vikings in London.

Winston was already unlikely to play as he was originally listed as doubtful for the overseas encounter with Minnesota with a number of injuries, including the transverse fracture. The Saints have erased any questions about his availability. Andy Dalton will start for the Saints, who are very banged up. Michael Thomas (foot) is out, Jarvis Landry (ankle) is questionable as is Alvin Kamara (rib). Kamara and Chris Olave may be the only fantasy-worthy players this week for the Saints in London.
