Despite being behind Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson on the Saints' depth chart, rookie wide receiver Bryce Lance offers long-term dynasty upside due to his big-play ability and elite athleticism. Lance, a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, averaged over 21 yards per reception in his final collegiate season and could fill the void left by Rashid Shaheed
Ten players to stash in dynasty leagues now before they break out in 2026
It is Day 88 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and we have all different kind of Cowboys games to review. At the bottom, we’ll link each day of the countdown so you can go back and check out any you missed. We welcome you to Day 88 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff, where we revisit one of the best regular-season wins of the Tony Romo era. The Cowboys went into the Louisiana Superdome as an 8-5 team under pressure, facing a 13-0 Saints team that looked unstoppable. Dallas had lost two straight games, the December narrative was closing in again, and New Orleans was chasing a perfect season. Instead, the Cowboys walked into one of the loudest buildings in football and handed the eventual Super Bowl champions their first loss of the year. Dallas made its statement immediately. Romo hit Miles Austin for a 49-yard touchdown less than four minutes into the game, and Marion Barber followed with a three-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Saints managed only a Garrett Hartley field goal in the second quarter, while Nick Folk added a 44-yarder just before halftime to put Dallas ahead 17-3. The Cowboys kept leaning on New Orleans in the third quarter. Barber finished a long drive with a two-yard touchdown run, stretching the lead to 24-3 and putting the Saints in unfamiliar territory. Sean Payton’s team was explosive enough to rally, and it finally started to do that in the fourth quarter. Mike Bell scored from one yard out, then Drew Brees found Lance Moore for a seven-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 24-17 with eight minutes remaining. That set up the play everyone remembers. New Orleans got the ball back with a chance to tie or take the lead, but DeMarcus Ware , playing just six days after being carted off with a scary neck injury, delivered the finishing blow. Ware sacked and stripped Brees, Jay Ratliff recovered with six seconds left, and Dallas escaped with a 24-17 upset that ended the Saints’ perfect season. Romo was excellent, completing 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Austin caught seven passes for 139 yards and the opening score, while Barber added two rushing touchdowns. Dallas also controlled the game physically, winning time of possession 36:26 to 23:34, and converting eight of 15 third downs while holding the Saints to one from seven. This game belongs on the countdown because it was a true measuring-stick win. The Cowboys did not just beat a good team, they beat an unbeaten one, on the road, in prime time, with their season under pressure. It helped Dallas launch a late-season run that ended with an NFC East title and the franchise’s first playoff win since 1996. For one December night in New Orleans, the Cowboys looked tough, balanced, fearless, and fully capable of beating anyone. And the fans at the time felt it. The Cowboys had not beaten the Saints in 15 years before this game, making the upset even more satisfying. Their previous win over New Orleans came in December, 1994. Countdown To Kickoff by day: 100 , 99 , 98 , 97 , 96 , 95 , 94 , 93 , 92 , 91 , 90 , 89
Saints fans are keenly focused on the wide receiver battle during minicamp, with Chris Olave, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Ronnie Bell among the key players
A fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bryce Lance could have a chance to contribute to his new team immediately as a rookie. As a senior at North Dakota State in 2025, Lance showed off his big-play ability by hauling in 51 receptions for 1,079 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing for 92 yards and an additional score on four carries. Lance also turned heads at the Draft Combine by running a 4.34-second 40-yard dash. Given the presence of wideouts Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, as well as tight end Juwan Johnson in New Orleans, Lance may have a tough time carving out a high-volume role in the Saints' passing game. However, he could slide into the team's downfield role as a replacement for former Saints wideout Rashid Shaheed, who recorded 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns across nine games before New Orleans traded him to the Seattle Seahawks at the 2025 trade deadline. In dynasty formats, Lance's upside may currently be undervalued heading into 2026

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Bryce Lance could be a perfect fit with his new team. The North Dakota State product was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Although he doesn't have the greatest draft capital as a Day 3 pick, he's a perfect scheme fit for the Saints, who have been looking for a speedy receiver to replace Rashid Shaheed. Lance ran a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine, and he caught a whopping 126 passes for 2,150 yards and 25 touchdowns over his final two years at school. The Saints have a somewhat crowded receiver room headlined by Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, but we could see Lance stepping into the No. 3 role by midseason. Even if he doesn't start every game or play the majority of the snaps, he offers tremendous fantasy upside as a downfield threat who needs just one or two big plays to explode in fantasy football. With such a high ceiling, he's a worthwhile pick in the second round of 2026 rookie drafts

The Saints selected Lance in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 136th overall. Lance (6-foot-3, 204 pounds) boasts adequate size to complement his explosive athletic trades (4.34 40-yard dash), and he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his two seasons as a starter at North Dakota State (five years total). He showed especially well on deep routes in 2025, when he logged a career-best 21.5 yards per catch across 13 games as a fifth-year senior. To compete for more than a rotational role at the NFL level, Lance will need to significantly expand his route tree, but in New Orleans' crowded wide receiver room there may not be much pressure to develop into more than a situational playmaker. All of Devaughn Vele (shoulder), Mason Tipton (groin), Bub Means (lower leg), Kevin Austin, Trey Palmer (ankle), Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder), Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure represent competition for Lance to earn wide receiver reps behind Chris Olave (illness) and No. 8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson
