The Saints D/ST allowed 35 points on 381 total yards with three sacks and a fumble recovery on Sunday against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: The Saints were unable to force any interceptions on Kirk Cousins. It did not help that the Saints offense turned the ball over four times in the final quarter. They'll face Bijan Robinson and the Falcons next week.

Daniel Carlson made 3-of-4 extra point attempts on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Carlson did not attempt a field goal. He is 4-of-5 on field goal attempts to start the season.

Noah Fant caught 4-of-4 targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday.

Juwan Johnson caught 8-of-8 targets for 53 yards in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday.

Devaughn Vele caught 3-of-6 targets for 39 yards in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Vele was relatively quiet for most of the afternoon. It was Chris Olave and the tight ends who dominated on the day for New Orleans. He remains an upside flex play heading into next week against the Falcons.

Chris Olave caught 9-of-13 targets for 107 yards in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Olave continues to lead the Saints in receiving on a week in and week out basis. He is a WR1 moving forward for fantasy managers with his involvement to start the season.

Kendre Miller ran for 14 yards on four carries in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday. He also caught 2-of-3 targets for five yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact: Miller saw some opportunity with Travis Etienne Jr. exiting early. Alvin Kamara was still the lead back in that span.

Alvin Kamara ran for 36 yards on nine carries in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday. He also caught his lone target for five yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact: Kamara saw his role expand after Travis Etienne Jr. left the game early. He'll be in the flex conversation next week if Etienne is sidelined.

Matt Gay made 3-of-3 field goal attempts and 2-of-2 extra point attempts on Sunday.

Michael Mayer caught 3-of-3 targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Mayer still made an impact despite the return of Brock Bowers. It was tight end day in New Orleans as the two teams combined for six touchdowns scored by tight ends.

Brock Bowers caught 10-of-13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints.

Fantasy Impact: Bowers was making his season debut and he did not miss a beat. He was involved early and often. He remains a high-end TE1 moving forward.

Jalen Nailor caught 1-of-3 targets for 16 yards in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Nailor remains uninvolved in the offense with Las Vegas. He remains off the fantasy radar in his current role.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker led Raiders wide receivers in receptions and yards. Still his upside remains limited for fantasy managers.

Mike Washington Jr. ran for 54 yards and a touchdown on five carries in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Washington found the end zone on an impressive run. He remains the clear backup behind Ashton Jeanty in the Raiders backfield.

Ashton Jeanty ran for 56 yards on 19 carries in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for 36 yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact: Jeanty was inefficient on the ground for the second straight week. He still remained active in the passing game. He remains an RB1 in a workhorse role moving forward.

Kirk Cousins completed 22-of-33 passes for 248 yards with three touchdowns in the Raiders 35-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
