The veteran receiver hasn’t seen the field since Week 7.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be traveling to New York this week to take on the Giants. At 4-6, the Bucs can’t risk dropping another game especially against New York and the way they’ve played as of late it’s certainly a possibility.

But they could be getting some help this week to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans was practicing in limited fashion Wednesday, which was a positive sign as he has been out with a hamstring injury since Week 7’s Monday night debacle at home....

Kirk Cousins was the worst quarterback in fantasy this weekend.

The Atlanta Falcons have a bye in Week 12, where they hope to recharge for the stretch run in an attempt to hang on to their lead atop the NFC South. They technically did play a football game against the Denver Broncos in Week 11, but it seems that they mentally started their bye a week early.

The Falcons played their worst game of the season on both ends, failing to score double digit points for the first time this season and allowing a season high 38 points. The entire...

The Panthers had the week off after their win in Germany. Let’s see what all went on.

The Carolina Panthers got a week off in Week 11 to rest up from winning a game in Germany. Let’s look at what happened around the league while they were enjoying their time away.

The Saints are kind of back

The Saints fired their head coach Dennis Allen after a defeat to the Panthers in which they did their opposition a lot of favors. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi took over as the head guy and rizzed the boys...

Allen’s brief tenure in New Orleans spanned from 1995-1997.

Former New Orleans Saints CB Eric Allen has been named a semifinalist for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class for the fifth time in his 19th year of eligibility. Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame five years after they retire and have a 20-year window in which they can be inducted, making this one of Allen’s last chances to earn this prestigious honor.

The 30th overall pick of the 1988 NFL Draft spent the first seven seasons of his career in the City of Brotherly Love with...

Penix passes features in, too.

I had groused a little bit about how dull this feature was, given that the Atlanta Falcons were barely playing their rookies. This week is an excellent reminder to me and to all of us to be careful what you wish for.

Injuries finally forced Brandon Dorlus into his season debut, and a blowout gave Michael Penix, Casey Washington, and Jase McClellan work on offense. Those are not ideal circumstances, even if almost every rookie who played had positive moments.

Let’s get to the report.

QB Michael Penix

Pressed into action with the game...

Evans played 11 seasons in New Orleans.

Former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman and current Saints assistant coach, Jahri Evans was named as one of the 25 modern-era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025. This is the 3rd straight year that Evans has been named a semifinalist.

Evans was drafted by the Saints in the 4th round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played a total of 11 seasons in New Orleans (2006-2016) which included 5 playoff teams and the Super Bowl 44 championship team. Evans also earned Pro Bowl honors for 6 straight seasons...

This is Hill’s second time winning the award in his career.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has won NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in his career after putting up 206 yards of offense and three touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns.

As Hill does, he contributed to the game in many different ways. As a runner, he was unstoppable running seven times for 138 yards and three touchdowns averaging 20 yards a carry. Hill also brought in 8 receptions as a receiver for 50 yards and 18 yards as a passer. The Swiss army...

Another win for Darren Rizzi

NFL.com - 23 (=)

“Don’t look now, but the Rizzlers have won two straight, and — thanks to Atlanta dropping another game — the NFC South and a potential wild-card berth remain mathematically within reach. New Orleans might need a tall ladder and a long arm to get there, of course. This might be one of those cases where the bye week works against a team like the Saints. They’ve gotten their mojo working the past two games to rebound from their seven-game losing streak; stalling that momentum with a Week 12 bye...

With Week 11 in the books, let’s take a look at who stood out for New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Cleveland Browns 35-14 on Sunday afternoon, securing their second consecutive victory under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.

This week, an entire position group deserves recognition for stepping up and delivering an outstanding performance when the team needed them most. The breakout group from the Saints’ Week 11 win over the Browns was the tight end room, including Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and Taysom Hill, with the exception of rookie UDFA Dallin Holker, who saw just eight offensive...
