Fantasy Implications: It's unlikely that this news will provide much insight into how the Saints will play football or how the news will effect their fantasy stars, if at all. The main differences with the Saints this year after the bounty scandal will be on defense, where Jonathan Vilma was suspended for the season and defensive end Will Smith was suspended for four games. It's likely that playing any of your fantasy players against New Orleans this year could be fruitful and all players in the NFC South outside of the Saints, should get slight upgrades.
