2024 NFL Playoff Picture: Nine teams are near-locks; Bears, Bucs fade away

Foster Moreau - Held without a catch Sunday Moreau failed to haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 20-17 victory against Atlanta.

Impact Moreau logged two or fewer targets for the sixth game in a row. The sixth-year tight end has been an intermittent scoring threat in the red zone this season, but he has little to no value in terms of fantasy otherwise. This didn't change despite the barrage of injuries to the team's wide receiver room, as Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) was inactive while Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) are all on IR. Moreau has now totaled 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 167 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games. He'll look to find the end zone during next week's game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Juwan Johnson - Tallies two catches Week 10 Johnson hauled in two of three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 20-17 victory versus the Falcons.

Impact Johnson logged three or fewer catches for the fifth week in a row. It seemed like the 6-foot-4 tight end could've had a bigger target share with wideouts Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) now all on IR. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara led the team with six targets while newly-acquired wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling exploded for a team-high 109 receiving yards. Johnson has now recorded 22 catches for 247 yards and one touchdown through 10 games, which is a far cry from his stat line over 13 games last season when he logged 37-368-4 across 13 appearances. He'll hope to see more targets during next week's home game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Jordan Mims - Plays third fiddle again Week 10 Mims recorded two carries for 10 yards and gathered in one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Falcons.

Impact Mims was once again the Saints' RB2 with Jamaal Williams (groin) sidelined for the second week in a row. The second-year running back still ran behind both starting running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as these two logged 17 and four carries, respectively. Mims has now totaled seven carries and three targets while filling in for Williams over the past two weeks. He'll likely have a minimal role if he once again fills in at RB2 during next week's game against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Blake Grupe - Nails both FGs in Week 10 Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 victory against the Falcons.

Impact Grupe put the Saints on the board with a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter, and he scored the team's final three points with a 26-yarder in the third quarter. The second-year kicker has now missed just one of his 19 field-goal attempts through the first 10 games of the season. New Orleans' offense has not been nearly as prolific as it was to start the year, but Grupe's surefire efficiency makes him a reliable backup option or waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues. He'll look to remain accurate during next week's home game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Taysom Hill - Six touches in Sunday's win Hill carried the ball four times for 14 yards and caught both his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Impact Since returning from a rib injury in Week 8, Hill has seen at least six touches in three straight games, compiling 145 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD over that stretch. The versatile "tight end" will likely see modest but consistent volume again in Week 11 against the Browns, and his usage in the red zone makes him a threat to get into the end zone any given week.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Strikes for two TDs against Atlanta Valdes-Scantling caught all three of his targets for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Impact He hauled in both of the Saints' touchdowns on the day, and his only non-scoring catch went for 67 yards. It was a stunning performance from the veteran wideout, who came into Sunday with only three catches for 31 yards on the year, but with Rashid Shaheed (knee) lost for the season and Chris Olave (concussion) lacking a clear return date, Derek Carr seems to have found his new big-play threat. Valdes-Scantling will try to solidify his spot in the New Orleans passing attack in Week 11 against Cleveland.

Alvin Kamara - Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win Kamara carried the ball 17 times for 55 yards and caught five of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Impact While he had trouble breaking a big gain on the ground, Kamara led the Saints in receptions and targets on the day and reached 100 scrimmage yards for the third straight contest and the seventh time this season in 10 games. Over that three-game stretch, Kamara has churned out 277 rushing yards and 169 receiving yards, but he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 6. He'll look to end that scoring drought in Week 11 against the Browns.

Derek Carr - Tosses two TDs in win Carr completed 16 of 25 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons. He added 17 rushing yards on four carries.

Impact The veteran quarterback flashed a little bit of his early-season magic on deep balls, connecting with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a 40-yard TD in the second quarter before finding the wideout again for a two-yard score before halftime. Carr and the New Orleans' offense went into a shell in the second half to protect a lead and end the team's seven-game losing streak, as well as give interim coach Darren Rizzi his first victory, but the early fireworks were still an encouraging sign for a passing game that has been struggling due to multiple injuries to the wide receiver corps. Carr will try to build on this performance in Week 11 against the Browns.

Pete Werner - Questionable to return Werner (hand) is questionable to return to New Orleans' matchup Sunday versus the Falcons.

Impact Werner went down with a hand injury in the second half of the matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. Anfernee Orji is now in at linebacker in Werner's place.

Jordan Howden - Returns against Atlanta Howden (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Howden went to the locker room after suffering a shoulder injury, but he is back on the field for the Saints in the second half of Sunday's game.

Taliese Fuaga - Returns Sunday Fuaga (hip) has returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Fuaga left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a hip injury. After being checked on by trainers, Fuaga is back in at left tackle.

Jordan Howden - Leaves game with shoulder injury Howden (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Howden has gone to the locker room after being helped off the field and checked on by trainers on the sidelines. J.T. Gray and Millard Bradford will be the depth safeties for the Saints if Howden is unable to return.

Taliese Fuaga - Exits with hip injury Fuaga (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact While Fuaga is sidelined, Olisaemeka Udoh has come in at left tackle.

John Ridgeway III - Back for Week 10 Ridgeway (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Ridgeway was sidelined for Week 9 against Carolina due to an oblique injury, but the 2022 fifth-round pick will suit up Sunday. Across six regular-season games, Ridgeway has logged eight tackles (four solo) while serving as the Saints' backup defensive tackle.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Shane Lemieux - Active for Week 10 Lemieux (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Lemieux missed the Saints' last four regular-season game due to a knee injury. However, the 2020 fifth-round pick was activated off IR on Saturday and will suit up for Sunday's NFC South clash, though he'll likely serve as the backup center to Connor McGovern with Lucas Patrick (ankle) inactive.
