Rotoworld Player News

Cameron Jordan

NO Defensive End #94

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Saints DE Cam Jordan (hamstring) was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Jordan will make his season debut after missing the team’s Week 1 game against the Lions. Long snapper Zach Wood was ruled out after being added to the injury report Thursday with a calf injury.
Juwan Johnson

NO Tight End #83

Saints TE Juwan Johnson (illness) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Johnson posted a 3/54/1 receiving line last week and can be treated as a TE1 again in Week 2. Saints WR1 Chris Olave is nursing a hamstring strain, though the team is telling reporters that the injury is not concerning. Johnson could take on a slightly larger workload if Olave is at all limited, though we won’t know if that is the case until the dust settles and the game ends.
Zach Wood

NO Long Snapper #49

Saints placed LS Zach Wood on injured reserve with a calf injury.

Wood was diagnosed with a Grade 2 calf strain earlier this week. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Kamara has successfully rehabbed his MCL sprain and resumed practicing in full this week. He joins a Saints backfield that employed a committee approach in Week 1. Kamara should be expected to play on passing downs. Whether he takes a meaningful rushing share and rotates in for red zone snaps remains unknown. He warrants PPR FLEX consideration with RB2 upside.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the Ravens.

Olave was present at the portion of practice available to media Friday after being limited for “precautionary reasons” the day prior. Although he seems to be trending towards playing against the Ravens, the questionable designation is something fantasy managers will want to monitor when game-day inactives are announced 90-minutes prior to first kick. The good news is that the Saints play in the early window on Sunday, giving managers time to react should they be dealt a surprise on Sunday. Olave will be a volume-driven WR1 against the Ravens, if active.
Chase Young

NO Defensive End #99

Saints EDGE Chase Young (calf) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Young experienced “some soreness in his calf” during practice on Thursday, resulting in a limited session. New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett notes that Young was practicing during the portion of practice available to the media on Friday, and he was told Young’s early exit on Thursday was “more precautionary” than a significant concern. A calf injury kept Young sidelined for multiple games last year. It sounds like he has a chance to play this week, but it’s possible the team could limit his snaps.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill reports that Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) “left practice as a precautionary measure” on Thursday.

Underhill adds that Olave’s hamstring issue is not expected to be a “problem.” If this really is a non-issue, perhaps Olave just experienced cramping today and will be back out there on Friday, practicing in full. That said, soft tissue issues that pop up mid-week are typically not good. Saints No. 2 WR Devaughn Vele is worth adding if he is a free agent.
Chase Young

NO Defensive End #99

Saints EDGE Chase Young (calf) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

As it was with Chris Olave, media reporters for the Saints witnessed Young practicing early, so this likely came on afterwards. A midweek downgrade is never a great sign, and Young struggled through a calf injury early last season that sidelined him for some time. Still, it’s not completely implausible he’ll suit up in Week 2. New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill later added that Young experienced “some soreness in his calf,” but “initial opinions are optimistic.”
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Olave was added to the injury report after not being on it at all on Wednesday. Saints reporter Mike Triplett said that Olave was spotted during the option portion of media practice. This is fairly concerning, though we have scant information on the injury at this point. Friday’s status will be enormous for Olave.
Juwan Johnson

NO Tight End #83

Saints TE Juwan Johnson (illness) resumed practicing on Thursday.

Johnson is firmly on track to play. Illness-related absences are very rare, and the Saints’ No. 1 tight end is already back at it. The Saints face the Ravens this weekend, in what should be a high-scoring game environment. Johnson is a locked-in TE1.
