Tyrann Mathieu
S - New Orleans Saints
Week 13 Outlook
Availability
Tyrann Mathieu (illness) was back at practice as a full participant on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Mathieu wasn't able to practice on Wednesday after coming down with an illness of some kind, but he was able to return and practice in full on Thursday. He should be good to go for Week 9 in a favorable matchup against the Panthers.
Tyrann Mathieu was not seen practicing with New Orleans on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
It's being reported that Mathieu was absent from practice on Wednesday. This shouldn't be too concerning, given that it's just New Orleans' first practice of the week. His status at Thursday and Friday's practice will mean more for his Week 9 availability.
Tyrann Mathieu logged a full practice on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
It is noteworthy with it being a short week. Mathieu and the Saints will look to contain Bo Nix and the Broncos offense.
New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu has signed a one-year extension with the team to remain in the Big Easy for the next two years.
Fantasy Impact
Mathieu was approaching the final year of his deal but now he will remain in New Orleans for the next two seasons. This deal helped the Saints financially as well, helping lower his cap hit in 2024. Mathieu had four interceptions, 75 tackles and nine passes defended in 2023 while recording an 87.4 PFF coverage grade.
Tyrann Mathieu is active for the Saints’ Week 1 matchup with Atlanta.
Fantasy Impact
Mathieu missed practice with an illness and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday. If Mathieu was unable to go, there would have been a void at after since the Saints traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Philadelphia. With Matthieu active, the Saints DST is strong option against Atlanta in Week 1.
