Marcus Williams - Makes plays in Week 4 loss Williams had six tackles (four solo), one pass breakup, one interception and one forced fumble during the Saints' loss to the Giants in Week 4.

Impact Williams is attractive as an IDP asset mostly due to his big-play ability, rather than his tackling floor, but he's come through for managers through the first four weeks of the season. Thus far, Williams has 17 total tackles, three pass breakups, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

Pete Werner - Big tackling day Werner managed 10 tackles (six solo) during the Saints' loss to the Giants in Week 4.

Impact Werner put together his best tackling day of his young career during last weekend's loss, in which he handled 63 percent of defensive snaps. The rookie second-round pick's IDP value is clearly on the rise, but fantasy managers may want to wait for a larger sample size before trusting him in lineups.

Malcolm Jenkins - Double-digit tackles in loss Jenkins racked up 12 tackles (eight solo) during the Saints' loss to the Giants in Week 4.

Impact Jenkins had season-high tackle totals during New Orleans' disappointing Week 4 loss, bringing him to 28 stops on the season. The veteran safety is a solid IDP option who combines a fair tackle floor with big-play upside, and he had a pick-six as recently as Week 3 versus New England.

Impact Jones was set to miss 3-to-4 weeks anyway after injuring his ankle this past Sunday versus the Giants. With this transaction, he'll now miss the Saints' next three games and won't be eligible to return until Sunday, Nov. 7 against the Falcons. While Jones is sidelined, New Orleans may rely on Alvin Kamara even more out of the backfield, but for any touches that linger Dwayne Washington and newcomer Devine Ozigbo will be on the case.

Jalyn Holmes - Joins active roster The Saints signed Holmes to their active roster off the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Holmes was scooped up by the Saints after the Vikings cut him loose before the regular-season opener. Last year, the 2018 fourth-round pick played in 14 games and recorded 36 tackles and two pass deflections. The Ohio State product was on New Orleans' active roster for Week 2 and saw 12 defensive snaps and recorded one tackle. It's unclear how big of a role he will have in Week 5.
