Episode Details

New Orleans Saints cut ties with rookie running back Devin Neal, waiving him after placing him on injured reserve — a move that effectively ends his 2026 season before it begins. Drafted in the sixth round out of Kansas, Neal showed early promise as a rookie, averaging over five PPR fantasy points per game and earning carries and targets. But a hamstring injury sidelined him last December and re-aggravated during preseason, now deemed too severe to recover from. If he clears waivers, he’ll be a free agent — but with zero chance of playing this year, his fantasy relevance is likely gone for good. A stark reminder of how quickly injuries can derail even the most promising young careers.
