Marshon Lattimore Fantasy

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore is a prime restructure candidate this offseason after signing an extension last year that bumped his salary cap figure to $27.45 million in 2022. He also has $9 million in base salary and a $15 million roster bonus. The 25-year-old's roster bonus can be converted into a signing bonus spread over five years, which will add $3 million in future salary cap but take $12 million off the books this year. Lattimore's base salary can also be converted into a signing bonus and spread out. The former first-rounder is a valuable member of the team's secondary after making his third straight Pro Bowl (and fourth overall) in 2021. Lattimore finished with 68 tackles (55 solo), three interceptions, 19 passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 16 games.

New Orleans Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore (thumb) is expected to play Week 3 against the New England Patriots. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and removed from the team's injury report altogether. Lattimore's presence only helps the Saints secondary, and the star cornerback's return is a downgrade to Mac Jones and the Patriots' offense. The 25-year-old racked up three tackles and one pass defense over one game in 2021. The Saints D/ST can be used as a streamer against the Patriots. Still, fantasy managers should temper expectations as New England will most likely utilize the run and the short-intermediate passing game again in Week 3.

New Orleans Saints cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hand) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints will also be missing defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf), linebacker Peter Werner (hamstring), linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder). Rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo stepped up in the big Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers, and Bradley Roby is expected to draw the start in his first game with the Saints on Sunday. It's a capable cornerback duo, but there's no question that the Saints secondary will take a step back with their top corner, Lattimore, not active. The Saints defense/special teams is a popular starting option in Week 2 after they completely shut down the Packers offense in Week 1, but they'll also be a bit more vulnerable on the back end against Carolina.
