Saints Edge Cameron Jordan (ankle) and LB Pete Werner (shoulder, oblique) are active for today's game against the Panthers. Neither is a high-level IDP play, though there's upside to the matchup for each player.

The Saints have ruled LB Pete Werner (shoulder, oblique) and S Marcus Maye (shoulder) out for Sunday's game against the Lions. We wouldn't target a replacement for either in IDP lineups, though Werner's absence can only help the tackle upside for LB Demario Davis.

Saints LB Demario Davis is a game-time decision tonight against the Jaguars. He has missed practice this week with a knee injury despite not missing a single snap of Sunday's game against the Texans. We've knocked Davis down the Week 7 LB rankings and view him as risky even if he does play. If he can't go, journeyman Jaylon Smith would start in his place, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com. We also gave Pete Werner a boost in the Week 7 rankings.

Saints LB Pete Werner (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Eagles. He sports some re-injury risk after leaving his last game early, missing last week and remaining limited in practice all week. But he also carries significant tackle upside whenever on the field. We've got Werner modestly projected in our Week 17 IDP rankings. Philadelphia has been a worse scoring matchup for LBs than you'd probably expect for such a run-favoring offense.

Saints LB Pete Werner (hamstring) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Each put in limited practices all week. Lattimore still hasn't played since Week 5 and would be tough to use in IDP lineups if active. Werner returned from ankle surgery in Week 15 but left that contest early with the hamstring issue. The lack of a full practice makes him risky as well. New Orleans has ruled S Marcus Maye (shoulder) out for the game.

The Saints have ruled LB Pete Werner (hamstring) out for Saturday's game agains the Browns. His absence pushes Kaden Elliss back into the starting lineup, and you can find him in our Week 16 IDP rankings. The Saints also list S Marcus Maye (shoulder) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) as questionable.

Saints LB Pete Werner (ankle) is active for today's game against the Falcons. It'll be his 1st game since the Week 9 injury that required surgery. There will be some risk to using him in that return game, especially given that Werner remained limited in practice all week. But he has been a high-ceiling IDP performer when healthy this year. CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) is inactive once again. He hasn't played since Week 5.

Saints LB Pete Werner (ankle) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both guys entered Week 13 questionable -- before the bye -- but didn't play. Werner and Lattimore each remained limited throughout this practice week. We'll see whether either is finally ready to return come Sunday.

Saints CB Marshon Lattimore (kidney) and LB Pete Werner (ankle) are inactive for tonight's game against the Buccaneers. Werner's absence keeps LB Kaden Elliss in play for IDP lineups if you were waiting on him or otherwise have an opening tonight.

Saints CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and LB Pete Werner (ankle) are questionable for Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. It would be the 1st game in a while for each player, which adds risk to waiting for either in your IDP lineup. There is upside to each if you want to take the chance and have a fallback ready.

Saints EDGE Cameron Jordan (eye) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. He managed limited practices all week after missing the 1st game of his career with an orbital-bone injury. We'd bet on him returning. EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are also questionable. Lattimore is the one to watch. If he's ready to go, it would be his 1st appearance since Week 5.

The Saints have ruled CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and LB Pete Werner (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. S Marcus Maye (abdomen) is questionable after missing practice Thursday and Friday. EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf) is questionable after being limited all week.

Saints LB Pete Werner left Monday night's loss to the Ravens with an ankle injury. We'll see about the severity this week. New Orleans heads to Pittsburgh on Sunday. EDGE Marcus Davenport also left the game early with a calf injury. He shouldn't be in IDP plans even when healthy at this point, though.
