Tre'Quan Smith Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) were limited in practice all week and were removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons. Running back Mark Ingram II (knee), however, missed the last two days of practice and is questionable to play. Smith will return after missing Week 17, but fantasy managers should be able to find more upside for their flex spots. Smith is averaging 2.7 catches and 30.1 receiving yards while scoring two touchdowns in 10 games this season. Ingram appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game with a knee injury that has bothered him in the second half of the season. Tony Jones Jr. would be in line to back up Alvin Kamara again, but he won't have any standalone fantasy value.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and running back Mark Ingram II (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers. It looks as though the Saints could be getting both players back in a Week 18 must-win regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith has mostly been a desperation flex play in deeper leagues this year, and he's averaging just 2.7 catches and 30.1 receiving yards in 10 games. He has a career-low two touchdowns. With Deonte Harris back from his suspension, Smith should be ignored if he returns. Tony Jones Jr. had just one carry for negative-two yards with Ingram out last weekend. Ingram carries no standalone fantasy value as long as Alvin Kamara is healthy.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Receivers Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) were listed as questionable. Neither Humphrey nor Montgomery were able to practice on Friday, putting their status in question this weekend. The good news for the Saints offense is that Deonte Harris is back from his suspension and the COVID-19 list, so he and Marquez Callaway should serve as the team's top two pass-catchers against the Panthers. Even if Humphrey and Montgomery play, they aren't realistic flex options in this low-volume Saints passing offense with quarterback Taysom Hill running the show.
