Thursday’s Saints vs. 49ers injury report

The New Orleans Saints made two changes to their injury report on Thursday. Taliese Fuaga was upgraded to limited participation, while long snapper Zach Wood was downgraded from limited to DNP. Defensive end Chase Young, left guard Trevor Penning, and safety Julian Blackmon remained absent.

The San Francisco 49ers got bad news on Thursday: starting quarterback Brock Purdy will be ruled out for the Saints matchup on Sunday and possibly miss some time after. Purdy’s injury adds to the 49ers’ terrible injury luck to start the season, which includes injuries to superstar tight end George Kittle and running back Christian...

NFL Picks Week 2: Golden Opportunity

NFL Picks Week 2: Golden Opportunity

The New Orleans Saints face the San Francisco 49ers in the second home game of the season. The Saints had a disappointing finish last week against the Arizona Cardinals, in a game that they could have come away victorious in. Ultimately, they just couldn’t make the plays needed to secure the win in the biggest moments. Now, with a longtime NFC rival coming into the Dome, the Saints look to capitalize on the moments ahead.

Now, surprisingly, the Saints have been presented a golden opportunity to snatch an unlikely victory from the jaws of almost certain defeat. As the Niners...

No Turnovers, No Glory: Rattler’s Fantasy Week 1 Performance

No Turnovers, No Glory: Rattler’s Fantasy Week 1 Performance

Now that the dust has settled from game one of the 2025 NFL season, the analysis comes down to Spencer Rattlers fantasy performance. In his first game under new coach Kellen Moore’s scheme, second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler’s performance on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals was a mixed bag in the team’s 20-13 loss. While the absence of a turnover was a notable silver lining, the rest of his Week 1 performance was not bad but not good from a fantasy football standpoint. Rattler completed 27 of a career-high 46 passes for 214 yards, a high volume of attempts given the...

State of the NFC South: Week 2

State of the NFC South: Week 2

The first week of the NFL Season is complete, and with that, it’s time to look at how the NFC South fared against the competition.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

In our first NFC South divisional game of the season, the Buccaneers faced off against the Falcons in a close battle, ending 23-20. One of the main issues with QB Baker Mayfield last season was taking care of the ball, but the run game was able to bail the offense out when needed. In this game, things were a bit different. Mayfield led the offense to 3 touchdowns and had zero...

Our offense vs. their defense: San Francisco 49ers

After falling to the Arizona Cardinals in the season opener a week ago, the New Orleans Saints will again try to get into the win column as they take on another NFC West foe in the San Francisco 49ers. The first game was to work out the kinks; now, Kellen Moore and the Saints will be looking for more efficiency and a concerted effort at putting points on the board.

The only issue for Spencer Rattler and New Orleans’ offense? The roadblock of a top-ten defense in the NFL, which gave up an average of just over 300 yards per...

Well, this past Sunday, New Orleans did not look like the worst team in the NFL, so let’s see if this improves their spot in the power rankings.

Wednesday’s Saints vs. 49ers injury report

The New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers are each facing the same issue they experienced during the 2024 season: a struggle to stay healthy. After a disappointing Week 1 loss, the Saints are ready to get their first win of the season, and they’ll get their chance on Sunday, facing the banged-up 49ers.

The Saints had four players out for Wednesday’s practice, including starting right tackle Taliese Fuaga and left guard Trevor Penning. Penning missed the season opener, but Fuaga was active before coming down with an injury. Chase Young also remains a DNP. The final nonparticipant was safety...
