A narrow win in Week 9
The New Orleans Saints beat the Cleveland Browns 23-22 at Caesars Superdome in Week 9, bringing their record to 3-5 in the 2026 season. New Orleans has split its four most recent games. The Saints beat the New York Giants 34-27 in Week 6 and Cleveland in Week 9, alongside losses to the Minnesota Vikings, 23-13 in Week 5, and Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-10 in Week 7. The Saints have scored 185 points and allowed 216, leaving them with a minus-31 point differential.
Shough and Olave set the fantasy pace
Quarterback Tyler Shough leads New Orleans with 145.6 season PPR points, just ahead of wide receiver Chris Olave at 141.4. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele follows with 89.5, while tight end Juwan Johnson has 78.9 and running back Alvin Kamara has 73.7. Shough also led the Saints in Week 9 with 19.7 PPR points. Olave delivered 16.8, and running back Audric Estimé added 14.7. Johnson finished with 11.4, followed by kicker Charlie Smyth at 11.0. Shough and Olave remain the team's leading fantasy producers across both the season totals and the latest week. Estimé's Week 9 output also put him among New Orleans' top contributors for that game.
Carolina comes next
The Saints host the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 at Caesars Superdome. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. ET.
