Foster Moreau - Catches two passes versus Tampa BayMoreau hauled in both of his targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

ImpactMoreau logged over 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 1. The 27-year-old also recorded a team-long 41-yard reception on a deep pass from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who was starting in place of an injured Derek Carr (oblique). The Saints appear to use their tight ends more Week 6, though Juwan Johnson saw more of the benefits with three catches on three targets for 48 yards. Johnson has seen more consistent targets over the last three games while Moreau has totaled just four over this span. Moreau likely won't even warrant attention as a fringe waiver-wire pickup as long as Johnson commands the majority of usage at tight end for the Saints.

Jamaal Williams - Goes nowhere Week 6Williams recorded two rushes for seven yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss versus the Buccaneers.

ImpactWilliams was ineffective for the fourth week in a row, as he's netted eight carries for 26 yards over this span. The 29-year-old backup still hasn't seen his workload increase despite the continued absence of Taysom Hill, who was inactive for the second week in a row due to a ribs injury. Instead, Alvin Kamara totaled 13 carries and five receptions. With Williams failing to make an impact as a receiver or short-yardage back, it's not worth investing any fantasy attention in him moving forward.

Juwan Johnson - Logs three catches versus Tampa BayJohnson caught all three targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

ImpactJohnson logged a season-high in receiving yards, including a season-long 27-yard reception in the first quarter. He also had two other targets wiped off the board by penalties in the third and fourth quarters. The Saints seemed to feature their tight ends more with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler starting in place of an injured Derek Carr (oblique), as Foster Moreau also logged two receptions on two targets for 54 yards. Johnson's recent resurgence in the offense is encouraging for any fantasy owners who took a flier on him early in the season. However, he's still probably just a solid waiver-wire pickup rather than a dependable piece in week-to-week lineups. Johnson will look to log at least three targets for the fourth game in a row during the Saints' upcoming game versus Denver on Thursday Night Football.

Spencer Rattler's rough second half dampens an otherwise promising first start for the Saints

Bub Means - Career-best showing in lossMeans brought in five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

ImpactThe rookie fifth-round pick had only logged one target and zero catches through the first five games of his NFL career, but Means took advantage of Chris Olave's early exit with a concussion to record his first stats as a pro. What's more, Means also happened to be on the receiving end of fellow rookie Spencer Rattler's first career touchdown pass, a nifty 10-yard grab just before the halfway point of the second quarter. Despite the surprisingly productive showing, Means' minuscule role to date and the fact it took Olave's absence to allow the former to see meaningful involvement casts doubt on how much carryover there will be in future weeks. However, with New Orleans on a short week before a Week 7 Thursday night home matchup against the Broncos, Means could certainly carry some short-term fantasy value.

Cowboys' defense is abysmal, and what else we're learning in Week 6

Blake Grupe - Converts two FGAs in Week 6Grupe connected on 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 point-after tries during Sunday's 51-27 defeat versus Tampa Bay.

ImpactGrupe saw his workload bump back up after attempting just one field goal over the previous two contests. The second-year kicker hit field-goal tries of 42 and 29 yards in the second quarter, and he's now converted all 10 of his FGAs and all but two of his 19 PATs through the first six games of the season. Grupe and the Saints' offense will look to put up another prolific outing versus the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.
