Tyler Shough, Can Tyler Shough Turn His Breakout Performance into Reliable Production?

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough had a breakout performance in his first career win, completing 19 of 27 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in the 17-7 victory over the Panthers. Shough played with confidence throughout, connecting with Chris Olave on a 62-yard score in the second quarter to give the Saints the lead, and they never looked back. He later found Juwan Johnson for a 30-yard touchdown to seal the win. Shough had three completions over 25 yards, something the Saints had only achieved six times through Weeks 1-8 under Spencer Rattler. His deep-ball upside makes him a matchup-dependent streaming option, with Week 12 against the Falcons his next opportunity.

Juwan Johnson, Juwan Johnson Catches Long Touchdown Pass in Week 10

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught all four of his targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The highlight of Johnson's game was a 30-yard touchdown reception that extended New Orleans' lead to multiple possessions. It was a bit unclear how top receivers like Johnson and Chris Olave would perform in rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's second career start, but both pass catchers turned in big outings while strengthening their rapport with the Louisville product. Johnson has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy football this year, ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues with 43 catches, 491 yards, and a trio of scores. He should continue to be started in all leagues on the other side of the Saints' Week 11 bye.

Chris Olave, Chris Olave has 100-Yard Performance in Upset Win Over Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was able to come up huge for his team during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. His biggest play of the game was a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Olave would finish his day by hauling in five of his eight targets for 104 yards and one score in the victory. It appears the fourth-year wideout is building solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This was a promising performance from Olave, as fantasy managers are hopeful for more big games like this from Olave going forward. Sadly, fantasy managers will have to wait until Week 12 as the Saints head into a bye week.

Alvin Kamara, Alvin Kamara Active for Week 10 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. It's been a rough stretch of games for Kamara, who has just 12 carries over his last two games and is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry since Week 5. His usage and productivity in the receiving game have dwindled, too. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should give him one more chance to produce as a low-end RB2 this week.

Juwan Johnson, Juwan Johnson Poised for Bigger Role in Week 10

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught the only Saints touchdown in Week 9 against the Rams, finishing with three receptions for 31 yards on four targets. This marked his sixth game of the season with at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown. The return of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau briefly lowered Johnson's stock, but he has bounced back with 13 receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown over his last three games. With Rashid Shaheed traded at the deadline and the Saints lacking depth at the receiver position, Johnson should be in line for an uptick in targets. He ranks as a borderline TE1/TE2 against the Panthers in Week 10, who allow the 13th-most PPR points to tight ends.
