Kevin Austin Jr. News
Saturday, September 19, 10:30 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game at Baltimore, according to Erin Summers. The move comes with Chris Olave questionable because of a hamstring injury. Olave was added to the injury report Thursday and was limited both Thursday and Friday. Austin was elevated for Week 1 as well, but he played only five offensive snaps and wasn't targeted against Detroit. New Orleans also has Devaughn Vele, Barion Brown, and Bryce Lance on the active roster, so Austin isn't guaranteed much work even if Olave sits. For now, the elevation gives the Saints another receiver while Olave's status remains unsettled.

Savion Williams News
Wednesday, October 28, 2:35 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams has an opportunity to turn his growing role into fantasy production in Thursday's Week 8 matchup against Carolina. Williams ran routes on 67.4% of Green Bay's dropbacks against Detroit, up from 59.1% in Week 6, and caught all three targets for 47 yards. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praised Williams for making critical third- and fourth-down conversions and expressed confidence in giving him additional responsibilities. Carolina has allowed just 195.7 passing yards per game, the sixth-fewest in the NFL, but will be shorthanded at cornerback with Akayleb Evans (triceps/knee) ruled out. Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) is questionable after returning to limited participation Wednesday, potentially creating additional opportunities for Williams. Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft remain Green Bay's primary receiving options, and Williams has yet to draw more than four targets in a game. RotoBaller ranks Williams WR65 for Week 8, making him a speculative deep-league PPR Flex option if Golden sits, but a bench option in most formats if Golden plays.
