Hot Fantasy Football Picks

New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (ankle) returned to a full practice Wednesday and is expected to play Sunday against St. Louis. Thomas has missed the last nine games with a severe ankle injury, and his role will be unknown heading into Sunday. He certainly can’t be trusted as a fantasy option this week, especially [...]

New Orleans Saints TE Jeremy Shockey (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Seattle, while RB Reggie Bush (leg) is expected to play. Bush put in a limited practice again on Friday and it looks like he’ll be ready to play Sunday. Shockey’s absence will result in more targets for promising rookie Jimmy [...]

New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (leg) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday and is expected to play Sunday against Seattle. With Pierre Thomas at least another week away, Bush will be worth flex consideration in PPR leagues right off the bat. The Saints are slowly but surely getting healthier on both sides of [...]

New Orleans Saints CB’s Jabari Greer (shoulder) and Tracy Porter (knee) are expected to return for Sunday’s game against Carolina. The Saints could be without CB Patrick Robinson (ankle), but won’t need him with the return of their top-two cornerbacks. Steve Smith gets a slight downgrade, although niether Greer or Porter figures to be 100%.

New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas was nearly traded to the New England Patriots at the NFL trade deadline, according to Brian Allee-Walsh of NewOrleans.com. Rumors have been rampant that Coach Sean Payton has been frustrated with Thomas’ prolonged recovery from an ankle injury, and this will certainly add fuel to that fire. Thomas remains [...]

New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (leg) is not expected to return until after the team’s Week 10 bye, according to Profootballtalk.com. Bush will not return next week, as he is not ready to practice in full as of yet. It’s possible the Saints could get both Bush and Pierre Thomas (ankle) back for Week [...]

New Orleans Saints CB Jabari Greer (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. Tracy Porter (knee) is listed as questionable. If both players miss the game, Ben Roethlisberger will shred the Saints’ secondary. He may do so regardless. We’d consider Hines Ward and Mike Wallace excellent plays this week. It’s unclear when [...]

New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush (leg) is not expected to return for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, according to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network. Bush missed practice Wednesday and La Canfora states he is “very doubtful” to play Sunday night against Pittsburgh. With a Week 10 bye looming, he’s no lock to return next [...]

The New Orleans Saints have activated FS Darren Sharper (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Sharper, coming off microfracture knee surgery, is expected to play Sunday against Cleveland. It’s not known what role he’ll play, although it’s likely to be a limited one, at least for this week. Malcolm Jenkins has filled in [...]

New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (ankle) revealed his initial recovery timetable was set at 4-6 weeks after he was injured in Week 3. Obviously the injury is more severe than was initially let on. Thomas won’t play this week against Tampa Bay and is very questionable to return next week against Cleveland. He did [...]
