New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hauled in one pass for 23 yards in a Week 2 loss to the Panthers. Johnson finished third on the team in targets and was the undisputed top option at the tight end position for News Orleans in Week 2. The athletic tight end may carve himself a role as the primary receiver at tight end for New Orleans- though fantasy managers will want to see a better effort out of the entire offense before they turn to Johnson for fantasy purposes.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught just one pass for 27 receiving yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Panthers. Humphrey ended up as the team's leading receiver in a disappointing day for the offense. The 23-year-old has yet to seize the opportunity in front of him with Michael Thomas (ankle) sidelined, as he has totaled just one catch in two games played this season. Humphrey is firmly off the fantasy radar.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris caught one pass for nine receiving yards, adding one carry for a rushing yard in Sunday's loss to Carolina. Harris was looking to build upon a solid Week 1 effort that saw him haul in a long touchdown from Jameis Winston, though it was not to be, as the signal-caller and the entire Saints offense took a step back. Harris can make big plays from time to time, but his boom/bust nature makes him hard to trust for fantasy.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway caught two of four targets for eight receiving yards in a Week 2 loss to Carolina. The Saints offense as a whole failed to bring their best effort, though Callaway has now disappointed for two straight weeks after putting together a strong preseason. If there was any positive to take from the performance, it's that the 23-year-old finished second on the team in targets behind Alvin Kamara- suggesting that he could perhaps emerge as the second option in the passing game at some point. Fantasy managers certainly can't afford to have him in lineups against a tough Patriots defense in Week 3, so it's best to take the wait-and-see approach with Callaway.
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. was held to just seven rushing yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Jones saw three carries to Alvin Kamara's eight, though it wasn't a particularly ground-heavy gameplan considering the team found themselves down early. The rookie back showed his talent in Week 1, which makes him an intriguing bench stash in the event of a Kamara injury. Just don't expect to be able to start Jones anytime soon.
