New Orleans Saints
TWR - New Orleans Saints
2024 Outlook
New Orleans Saints D/ST surrendered 302 total yards and zero points in Sunday's Week 15 win over the Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints D/ST pitched a shut-out in Week 15 en route to a much-needed win. New Orleans' defense has been the team's strength in year one sans Drew Brees. The Saints' D/ST will be in play against the Dolphins in Week 16 in fantasy.
The New Orleans Saints D/ST surrendered 361 total yards and 3 points in Thursday night's Week 12 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints did sack Josh Allen twice and also grabbed two picks. However, they were gashed in all other phases. The Saints' D/ST will be in play in Week 13 agasint Dallas but could struggle on the road.
The New Orleans Saints D/ST surrendered 219 total yards and 10 points in Monday night's Week 7 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints' D/ST smothered the Seahawks in the Monday night win. If it was not for an early D.K. Metcalf 84-yard touchdown catch and run on broken coverage, the Seahawks would not have found the end zone. The Saints defense plays well against inferior opponents, but that won't be the case in Week 8 against the Bucs.
The New Orleans Saints D/ST surrendered 327 yards, 18 points and accumulated a pair of turnovers in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
After a terrible Week 1 loss, allowing the Buccaneers to trounce them, the Saints defense bounced back. They held the Browns to under 20 points while sacking Tyrod Taylor once, intercepting him once and also recovering a fumble. While the Saints D/ST lived up to their offseason hype, they'll be tested next week versus Atlanta.
The Saints D/ST allowed 527 total yards and 48 points in their Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints D/ST was amongst fantasy football's biggest surprises of 2017. That isn't the case right now, however. And even though it is only Week 1, it is not a good look, especially if you drafted them early (for a defense). They'll look to rebound against a Browns offense that looks viable with Todd Haley calling the shots and Tyrod Taylor running the huddle next week.
