Rotoworld Player News

Cesar Ruiz

NO OFFENSIVE GUARD (SUB) #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Saints declared OG Cesar Ruiz, S Mike Reid, TE Treyton Welch, EDGE Tyree Wilson, DL Nathan Shepherd, DT John Ridgeway III, and QB Zach Wilson inactive for Week 7 against the Steelers.

Ruiz and Shepard were the only Saints listed as questionable for Week 7. Jeremiah Wright will take his spot at right guard.
CJ Donaldson

NO Running Back #43

CJ Donaldson (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 7 against the Steelers.

Donaldson is the third member of the Saints’ backfield committee. While he will get a few touches this week, he is not getting enough work for fantasy relevance.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara (back) was removed from the injury report for Week 7’s game against the Steelers.

Kamara was still listed as limited in Friday’s practice, but the Saints feel confident enough in his health to clear him for Week 7. Kamara found the end zone last week on a 31-yard reception, but has largely been inefficient with his touches this season. He seen 14 opportunities to Kendre Miller’s 30 over the last two weeks and will be hard to trust as anything more than a touchdown-dependent RB3 against the Steelers. The only players on the Saints carrying injury designations into the weekend are guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) and DL Nathan Sheperd (illness). Both are listed as questionable.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara (back) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

He’s played through this listing for a few weeks now, and though he’ll sometimes get dinged up in game, appears no worse for the wear. Kendre Miller feels like the more viable back in a normal game script right now, with Kamara playing more on passing downs.
CJ Donaldson

NO Running Back #43

CJ Donaldson (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.

The pass-protecting back looks likely to continue to mix in and limit snaps for the fantasy-valuable members of the backfield in Week 7.
CJ Donaldson

NO Running Back #43

CJ Donaldson (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

A limited practice to start the week is usually maintenance. Donaldson looked good last week, running for 39 yards on six attempts, though he did commit one fumble. Donaldson is one of three backs seeing work for the Saints, and none of them have made a strong case to get more touches. Donaldson is a weak FLEX option for Week 7.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Kamara has been playing through the back issue for several weeks. He is expected to do so again this week. Kamara is part of a three-back committee, and he isn’t the leader of the trio, but that didn’t stop him from finding the end zone on nine touches last week. With a limited receiving role to go along with his shrinking rushing workload, he’s barely in the RB3 mix for Week 7.
Jordyn Tyson

NO Wide Receiver #0

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) won’t practice this week.

Loomis said Tyson is “improving” in his long rehab from a major preseason hamstring injury. Tyson, who traveled with the Saints to France for their Week 7 game against the Steelers, could still be a couple weeks away as the team takes a cautious approach to his recovery. In the meantime, Bryce Lance will operate as the Saints’ No. 2 wideout behind Chris Olave. Lance over the past two weeks has a 13 percent target share and a 20 percent air yards share in the pass-first New Orleans offense.
Jordyn Tyson

NO Wide Receiver #0

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) traveled with the team to Paris for Week 7’s game against the Steelers.

The Saints have not opened Tyson’s 21-day window for return, but the fact that he traveled with the team suggests his window could be opened later this week, which would allow him to begin practicing with the team. There’s some belief that Tyson could return in Week 9 after the Saints’ bye week, but the team hasn’t committed to a return date for him just yet. We wouldn’t expect Tyson to suit up this week against the Steelers.
Juwan Johnson

NO Tight End #83

Juwan Johnson failed to catch either of his two targets in the Saints’ Week 6 win over the Giants.

Johnson was silent in a low-efficiency passing day for the Saints offense. The tight end position in general was a non-factor as a pass-catching group on the day. As Tyler Shough deals with broken bones in his non-throwing hand, the Saints’ passing game is tightening up and has less room for Johnson. He is a fantasy TE2 for Week 7 against the Steelers.
