Jacob Saylors vs. Saints — Backup Committee Role Limits Standalone Value
With Isiah Pacheco sidelined on injured reserve, Jacob Saylors has an opportunity to carve out offensive work behind lead back Jahmyr Gibbs. Head coach Dan Campbell recently indicated that secondary duties will likely be handled via a committee alongside Sione Vaki, though Saylors built strong momentum by leading the NFL in preseason scrimmage yards.
Our weekly projections expect a limited role in this matchup against New Orleans, projecting him for roughly 3 to 4 carries, 14 rushing yards, and 2.8 fantasy points. While Detroit enters as a solid home favorite in a game with high-scoring potential, Saylors' split backup workload keeps him off the starting radar as a bench stash for now.

Outlook Marvin Mims
Plummeting Draft Stock and Crowded Depth Chart Dim Fantasy Appeal
Mims enters his fourth NFL campaign operating as a rotational receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle in Denver's offense. After logging 37 receptions for 322 yards in 2025, his path to steady targets remains blocked in a crowded pass-catching group.
A late-camp foot bruise is not expected to sideline him, but our season projection foresees modest production with 35 catches for 325 yards and three touchdowns. Totalling roughly 67 fantasy points, he lacks the target volume necessary to offer reliable standalone value in standard fantasy formats.
Market sentiment has collapsed over the summer, with his ADP tumbling from pick 258 in mid-July down past 355 by late August. With league roster rates falling near two percent, our projections view Mims as a falling asset best left on waiver wires.
