Tyler Shough Totals Four Touchdowns In Win Over Giants

Tyler Shough Has Been Playing with Two Broken Bones in Left Hand

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough (hand) has been playing through a significant injury that includes two broken bones in his left hand, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The injury has been present for the last two weeks, but it reportedly started to really bother him last week against the Vikings, as he threw for just 96 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He still ranks as the overall QB11 in fantasy football scoring despite last week's dud performance. Through five weeks, he has 10 total touchdowns, although he also has eight interceptions. Equally important as Shough's fantasy production is the fact that he has been able to support Chris Olave, Devaugh Vele, and Juwan Johnson outperforming their own expectations this season

Chris Olave returns to practice, listed as questionable for Sunday

Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was back on the practice field Friday, but his status for Sunday’s road game against the Giants remains up in the air. Olave missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness, so his return for a limited workout on Friday would seem to have him pointing in the right direction to play in Week 6. Olave has 39 catches for 537 yards and a touchdown through the first five weeks of the season. Running back Alvin Kamara (back) is also listed as questionable. He was limited in practice all week. Defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd (illness), defensive back Lorenzo Styles (knee), and long snapper Zach Wood are the other questionable players for New Orleans. Linebackers Kaden Elliss (calf) and Anfernee Jennings (knee) have been ruled out

Who is the best WR in the NFL? How Puka Nacua stacks up vs. JSN, Ja'Marr after historic 'MNF'

Before the season started, CBS Sports rolled out its top-10 rankings for players at every position on both offense and defense. Some of those rankings look extremely prescient five weeks into the NFL season. Others do not. That's just the way it goes. Football is an unpredictable game, and even those of us who observe it most closely and get a lot right still get a lot wrong a lot of the time. We're not necessarily here to debate what we got right or wrong, but to revisit our lsit. Because so many wide receivers are off to such great starts this season and delivering jump-off-the-screen performances in big-time games, we wanted to see if there are any updates we can make just under a third of the way through the season. So in the space below, we'll detail the updated top 10. Enjoy. Honorable mentions (in no particular order): Malik Nabers , Tetairoa McMillan , Davante Adams , George Pickens , Garrett Wilson , Parker Washington , DeVonta Smith , Mike Evans , Christian Watson , A.J. Brown Flowers is off to an insane start to the season. He's only played two full games so far (he missed one, left one early and played only 33% of the snaps in another), and he's yet to play a full complement of snaps with Lamar Jackson under center. Yet, he already has 26 catches for 405 yards and a pair of scores. He leads the NFL with 4.45 yards per route run, per Tru Media, and that number was even higher before he had to play a game with his backup quarterback. He's being used by Declan Doyle in a way that maximizes his skill set, and it's beautiful to watch. Olave is tied for the NFL lead in catches with 39, and he's already got 537 yards (second) as well. He is a target vacuum in the Saints' high-volume passing offense, seeing a look on 26.3% of his routes, according to Tru Media. He's also generated an explosive play (gain of 15+ yards) on 20.4% of his targets, which is the highest mark of his career to date. He's worked more often on the perimeter this season than last (73.2% of his routes compared with 61.0%), but it hasn't stopped him from being a target hog. London is a completely different — and absurdly good — player whenever Michael Penix Jr . is on the field for the Falcons. Penix has played in 17 games, starting 15 of them, over the last three years. In those games, London has caught 100 of 154 passes for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns. He's seen a target on 33% of his routes and averaged 9.97 yards per target. All of those are elite, best-of-the-best type of numbers. Unfortunately, quarterback play has undermined his performance whenever someone other than Penix has been out there, but that shouldn't take away from what he does when he has solid QB play. Collins is a monster-sized receiver (6-foot-4, 222 pounds) with a monster skill set. Utilized most often as a pure X receiver (he lines up out wide on 88% of his routes, per Tru Media), Collins is tasked with doing the hardest work a receiver can do. He makes it look relatively easy. He's only played in three games this year due to a hamstring injury, but he's gone for 19-249-3 and looked dominant doing it. I think it's important to note that while St. Brown often gets labeled as "the best slot receiver" in football, he's actually played more often on the perimeter than on the inside in three straight seasons. He does everything, not just the slot stuff. He's obviously absurdly good in the slot, but he's also really good outside. He's gone for 100-plus catches and 1,100-plus yards in four consecutive seasons, and five 10-plus touchdowns in each of the last three. He's on pace to top all of those numbers again this year. He's the model of consistency. It's easy to forget what Lamb did the last time he was fully healthy and had Dak Prescott under center for a full season: He led the NFL with 135 catches and piled up 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns while being named a First Team All-Pro. This season, he's reminding people just how good he is. He's tied with Olave for the leag [... truncated ...]

Chris Olave set to play, Alvin Kamara questionable for Saints

The Saints will have wide receiver Chris Olave in the lineup against the Vikings on Sunday. Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters at Friday’s press conference that Olave is good to go despite being in a walking boot after Thursday’s practice. Olave’s foot was stepped on, but he was able to fully participate in the team’s final practice of the week. Running back Alvin Kamara (back) also practiced on Friday, but he’s been listed as questionable for Sunday. Safety Julian Blackmon (shoulder), wide receiver Barion Brown (thigh), and defensive lineman Christen Miller (toe) are in the same category. The Saints have ruled out linebacker Kaden Elliss (calf), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (knee), and guard Jeremiah Wright (concussion)
