Taliese Fuaga
OT - New Orleans Saints
Week 5 Outlook
Availability
Taliese Fuaga (back) carries no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was limited at practice earlier this week because of a back injury, but he carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. Fuaga has been a valuable addition to New Orleans' offensive line and should continue to produce well for the foreseeable future.
Taliese Fuaga (back) was limited again at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie has been limited for two-straight practices because of a back injury. The team is trying to manage it well, and it doesn't look like something that will threaten his Week 3 availability. His presence on New Orleans' offensive line has been huge for their improved performance so far this season.
Taliese Fuaga (back) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie recently suffered a back injury that left him sidelined at Thursday and Friday's practices. He's officially considered questionable to play, but it seems like he's trending in the wrong direction. His possible absence would leave a hole on New Orleans' offensive line, which already lacks depth.
Taliese Fuaga (back) did not practice for the Saints on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Fuaga was downgraded to a non-participant in Thursday's practice after being limited on Wednesday. It's unclear if he suffered a setback or not, but it's safe to say that his availability for Week 2 is now in question. If he's out, that's bad news for Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara, who both benefitted from his presence on the offensive line in Week 1.
Taliese Fuaga was sidelined from practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Saints coach Dennis Allen confirmed that Fuaga is expected to be healthy by the start of the season.
