Drops: Oscar Delp
Delp was not targeted during Monday's 45-24 loss versus the Falcons. Delp did record a solo tackle in punt coverage after New Orleans went three-and-out on its first offensive series, but that was his only mark on the stat sheet in Week 4. On a positive note, he was second on the team in snaps at tight end (23) behind veteran Juwan Johnson (53) with Noah Fant (abdomen) sidelined. His involvement in Week 5 versus the Ravens will likely depend on the availability of Fant
Delp gathered in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 24-17 victory over the Ravens. Delp didn't suit up for the 31-30 overtime loss to Detroit in Week 1 due to a hamstring issue, though he was on the field for Sunday's 24-17 upset win over Baltimore. However, despite the rookie's availability in Week 2, he appeared in just nine of the Saints' 68 offensive snaps, catching his only target for eight yards, while logging six snaps on special teams. Although Delp could see more action moving ahead, it doesn't appear as if he will be more involved than Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson anytime soon
Delp (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Delp has been battling a hamstring injury, keeping him off the field for the 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1. He was limited during Wednesday and Thursday's practices, though after logging a full session Friday, he now has the green light to suit up for the Week 2 meeting with Baltimore. While it's unknown how much action Delp will see against the Ravens, he could be more involved than Noah Fant behind Juwan Johnson (illness)
Delp (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day Thursday. The tight end has been dealing with the hamstring issue since August and had to miss the Saints' Week 1 loss to the Lions. Delp had to miss practices last week, though, so he is at least trending in the right direction. The third-round pick in April's draft is still trying to make his regular-season NFL debut
Saints running back Alvin Kamara appears to be on track to play against the Ravens in Week 2. Kamara did not play in the season opener because of the knee injury he suffered in August, but head coach Kellen Moore said at a Wednesday press conference that he “probably could have gone” but didn’t have enough practice time after returning to the field earlier in the week. Moore said that the Saints “feel good” about Kamara being able to play this week. Defensive end Cam Jordan (hamstring) also missed the opener and was a limited participant in practice. Tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) was also listed as limited. Tight end Juwan Johnson (illness) and linebacker Isaiah Stalbird (shoulder) were full participants on Wednesday
Delp (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Delp has been working through a hamstring injury since late August, which prevented him from playing in the Saints' 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1. His return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity, is a good sign, and the rookie third-rounder will have two more chances to log a full session and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Ravens
A report on Sunday morning indicated cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was unlikely to be in the Steelers’ lineup for their season-opening game against the Falcons and official word on his status came 90 minutes before kickoff in Pittsburgh. Porter is officially inactive for the game. Porter was listed as questionable with a back injury after spending all of training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Porter’s inactivity this summer was also thought to be connected to his desire for a contract extension that never came together. That has reportedly opened the door to a trade as the Steelers have a team policy against negotiating contracts during the regular season. Updates on where things stand with Porter for Week 2’s game against the Patriots and beyond will likely come this week. For Sunday, though, he’ll just be a spectator.

Alvin Kamara's status for Week 1 is uncertain due to a sprained MCL, while Travis Etienne makes his Saints debut
Delp (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions. Delp didn't practice at all this week after initially suffering the injury last month. The third-round rookie will have to wait to make his regular-season debut. Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant will handle tight-end duties for New Orleans
New Orleans Saints tight end Oscar Delp will miss the season opener due to a hamstring injury; Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant will step in
Delp (hamstring) did not participate at practice Thursday. Delp has been nursing a nagging hamstring injury since late August, and his availability for Week 1 is in serious doubt at this point. Unless he makes a showing at practice Friday, it's not likely he'll play Sunday at Detroit
Delp (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Delp likely sustained his injury during the Saints' second preseason game against the Rams. The tight end has not practiced since sustaining the injury and will likely not be capable of suiting up for the Week 1 contest against the Lions. If Delp can quickly increase his practice participation before Friday, he could change his fate, but it seems unlikely as of now
Sleeper status change for Oscar Delp (13319). Before: status=Active, injury_status=—. After: status=Active, injury_status=Questionable
Delp is nursing a hamstring injury at training camp with the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Delp has caught three of six targets for 10 yards and a touchdown over the Saints' two preseason games this year, though all of that production came in the team's preseason opener. The 23-year-old was selected in the third round of this year's draft, and he's competing with veteran Noah Fant for the top reserve role at tight end behind Juwan Johnson this year. It's unclear what the severity of his injury is, but he'll have a couple of chances to shake off the injury at practice before Friday's preseason finale versus Dallas

Adds: Oscar Delp. Drops: Jalen Milroe
Delp caught three of six targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to Jacksonville. Delp's touchdown came on a pass from Zach Wilson on a play from the 1-yard line. It wasn't all roses for the rookie tight end, however, as he also had multiple drops. Delp is looking to cement a spot as the Saints' No. 3 tight end behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant, and his TD should help his case despite the uneven performance
The New Orleans Saints added to the tight end position this offseason, even after Juwan Johnson had a career year in 2025. The Saints signed Noah Fant in free agency and used a third-round pick to take former University of Georgia TE Oscar Delp. However, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune writes that Johnson should remain atop the depth chart at the position for the Saints entering the 2026 campaign. The Saints' moves at the position could signal a move to a vastly different-looking offense this year that will feature more two-tight end sets. The 29-year-old Johnson set career highs in catches (77), targets (102), and receiving yards (889) last year while catching three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in his sixth year in New Orleans. Only Arizona's Trey McBride and Atlanta's Kyle Pitts Sr. had more receiving yards in 2025, and Johnson's 889 yards were the fourth-most in a single season by a TE in Saints history. Most of his production came after rookie Tyler Shough took over as the starting QB. Johnson has established himself as an excellent size-speed athlete, but with more competition for targets coming from Fant, Delp, and rookie first-round receiver Jordyn Tyson, regression figures to be coming in 2026. Fantasy managers should target Johnson as a low-end TE2 after his career year in 2025
We dynasty fantasy football managers are always looking for value in a buy-low opportunity. The best way to stay ahead of your leaguemates and keep a high-value team is to find players before they rise in value consistently. Well, you’re in luck. I’ve already done the work for you, so let’s dive right in. What an incredible year and a half it’s been for Tyler Shough . During the 2024 college football season, Shough was hardly seen as a good NFL quarterback prospect. However, his physical skills had him rapidly rising on draft boards. Selected in the second round last year by the Saints, he was still expected little from. After playing in college for six years, it’s hard to see how any prospect could develop more in the pros. Getting his chance to start in Week 8, Shough soon proved the haters wrong. The collegiate “journeyman” got his feet under himself, and from Week 10 on, Shough averaged 18.6 fantasy PPG with three outings over 20. Tyler Shough ADP 122 (QB20) – From week 12 to 18 he was the QB6 in fantasy points per game – Showed a rushing floor of around 25 yards per game pic.twitter.com/LYZyW7Osyf — Fumble Factory (@DailyFumbles) July 12, 2026 This offseason, the Saints worked to make things even better for their QB. They bolstered the offensive line, signed Travis Etienne , and drafted wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and tight end Oscar Delp . The Saints now have the right surroundings for Shough to make a second-year jump. Most will tell you he can’t improve from where he is because of his advanced age, but those same people underestimated him as a rookie as well. Buy Shough by tiering down from Cameron Ward or Baker Mayfield . Bhayshul Tuten was everyone’s favorite sleeper running back in the 2025 draft class. He’s a dynamic athlete who was highly productive in college and comes with pass-catching skills. Tuten’s rookie season was one that everyone on either side of the fence could look at and dig into further. Tuten “bulls” saw him earn a short-yardage role and perform when called upon. His “bears” saw him fail to make a big dent in Travis Etienne ‘s workload, likely due to his own ball security issues from college. Tuten averaged only 5.9 PPR PPG for the season. This offseason, however, Tuten got great news. The Jaguars let Etienne walk in free agency and only brought in Chris Rodriguez . Many point to Rodriguez playing for Jaguars’ head coach Liam Coen in college as a reason to worry about Tuten. But Rodriguez could barely stay on the Commanders’ roster over his three-year career there, and he has only six receptions . You heard that right, six . In three years. Tuten has every chance to earn a large role for the Jaguars and will be the main receiving back. Tier down with Javonte Williams or Bucky Irving to Tuten. It’s been a frustrating four years being a Christian Watson fan. Any time he’s been healthy, he’s shown to be one of the most efficient wide receivers in fantasy football. As a rookie, Watson was 1st among all wide receivers in Fantasy Points per Target . In 2025, while returning from an ACL in the same calendar year, he averaged 13.2 PPR PPG. An absolutely incredible feat, and one that doesn’t get talked about enough. For his career, he catches a touchdown on 8.8% of his targets, a top-notch mark. Unfortunately, over these four years, Watson has missed a total of 20 games. Despite his injury history, the Packers rewarded the North Dakota product for his healthy play this offseason by signing him to a contract extension worth up to $92 million. A contract like that shows plenty of confidence. Additionally, the Packers let Romeo Doubs leave via free agency and traded away Dontayvion Wicks . Neither was truly battling Watson for targets, but it opens up more snaps. $110 million WR Christian Watson pic.twitter.com/VIKlwHZyMI — Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) June 4, 2026 Head coach Matt LaFleur had a habit of rotating his wide receivers; however, it looks like that time is up. Watson is lined up for anot [... truncated ...]
