Alvin Kamara joined the New Orleans Saints as a third-round drafted running back, the fifth player at his position taken in the 2017 NFL Draft.
One year later, he's considered by one NFL.com fantasy expert to be the top player in the league -- at least based on potential fantasy points for 2018.

NFL.com writer Adam Rank put Kamara atop his list of 200 fantasy players, which had running backs Todd Gurley, David Johnson and Saquon Barkley immediately behind him.

That's a significant jump in stature for somebody with one season of experience, but a deserved jump for somebody who led all running backs with 826 receiving yards and tallied 14 total touchdowns (eight rushing, five receiving, one kickoff return).

It’s a tough blow to a Saints receiving corps that’s already undermanned with the loss of Rashid Shaheed to season-ending knee surgery. There’s a possibility Olave’s year could be finished, too. He’s suffered two concussions this season and four in his NFL career...

It’s the Ultimate Hate Week for the state of Louisiana. The New Orleans Saints face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. That’s always big for Saints fans, and moving from Dennis Allen to Darren Rizzi has reinvigorated the fan base.

The weekend ends in New Orleans, but it begins just an hour away in Baton Rouge. LSU takes on Alabama in Death Valley on Saturday night. Each event takes over the city individually, but when you pair both of them together it truly is a state wide affair.

It’s not the first time the biggest teams in the state have taken on their biggest rivals in the same weekend...

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons face off for the second time this year, but the Saints will have a different head coach this time.

Marshon Lattimore's hamstring injury delays his Commanders debut

There was some belief that Marshon Lattimore would magically be healthy after the New Orleans Saints traded him to the Washington Commanders. This did not happen. Lattimore will miss at least one more game due to injury.

From a fan perspective, watching Lattimore line up against Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens would have been a fun matchup. A collateral benefit of this is he’s given the opportunity to study the Commanders playbook for more than just a few days. Conspiracy would even say they’re using a preexisting injury to give him extra time.
