New Orleans Saints DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a name to watch ahead of Sunday's AFC title game against the Baltimore Ravens. Featured back Isiah Pacheco (ankle/toe) did not participate in two practices before upgrading to a limited session on Friday, jeopardizing his game status. In two games as K.C.'s lead back when Pacheco missed Weeks 14 and 15, Edwards-Helaire totaled 24 carries for 76 yards and caught six of his eight passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. But those two dates came with scat back Jerick McKinnon (groin) in the Chiefs' lineup, so CEH would be in line for a three-down role if Pacheco is out. Baltimore tied for the fourth-most opponent yards per carry (4.5) and the seventh-most catches to opposing RBs (86) in the regular season but also gave up an NFL-low five rushing scores to the position. Priced at $4,600 on DraftKings, CEH would likely be the chalkiest DFS play on Sunday's slate if Pacheco cannot give it a go.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks made six catches in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cooks was targeted eight times, making six catches for 47 scoreless yards. Cooks had a very up-and-down season, as the Cowboys offense mostly ran through CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. Offseason moves will play a huge role on what Cooks' fantasy value will be in 2024, although he's likely to fall into another boom-or-bust situation no matter what.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in a Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Cooks has carved out some fantasy value this season, but he rarely sees high volume and usually needs a touchdown to put up a relevant fantasy score. In the regular season, Cooks scored a touchdown in eight games and was at least a fantasy WR2 in seven of them. In games where he did not score, his best performance was an overall WR49 game in Week 11. This week's matchup should be a high-scoring game, so there's a decent chance Cooks scores, but he comes with a very low floor so there's quite a bit of risk involved in having him in any lineups.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Washington Commanders. Cooks was targeted eight times, making his six catches for 39 yards and the score. His touchdown came on a five-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the third quarter and gave the Cowboys a 35-10 lead. Cooks had an up-and-down season which made him frustrating in standard leagues but a rather valuable asset in best ball formats. He and the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the playoffs next weekend.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave grabbed all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, finishing the year with 1,067 yards and four touchdowns. Olave and the Saints will now eagerly await the results of the Green Bay-Chicago game and the Seattle-Arizona game, as they can make the playoffs with a Green Bay and Seattle loss.
