Week 1 injury notes tighten fantasy decisions in the Saints–Cardinals opener. Alontae Taylor is expected to play after a groin issue, while Jordan Howden is a game-time decision in New Orleans’ safety corps. Trevor Penning is out; Chase Young is also sidelined. For Arizona, Calais Campbell and John Gaines II are set to contribute after rest, with two Cardinals questionable (Dante Stills, Owen Pappoe) and Will Hernandez ruled out. Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau remain on PUP and five Saints (Saldiveri, Clapp, Bub Means, Mason Pline, Landon Young) are done for the year on IR, shaping Week 1 lineups.

In short, Taylor’s health anchors NO’s secondary rotation, while Campbell’s activity will matter in run defense. Arizona’s rest and rest/rested players could tweak interior blocking, and the Saints’ Week 1 pass-catching and special-teams depth will be tested by missing Penning and Hill’s absence from the lineup.
