2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blackmon is coming off the two most productive seasons of his career, totaling 174 tackles and 12 pass defenses, including seven interceptions, during his final two years in Indianapolis. The 27-year-old also played all but three regular-season games over that span. He inked a one-year contract with the Saints shortly after starting free safety Tyrann Mathieu retired in late July. Blackmon and strong safety Justin Reid, who also joined New Orleans this offseason, should form a solid starting duo on the back end of the defense this season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a one-year contract with the Saints in July of 2025.
Will undergo surgery
Blackmon will undergo surgery to address the shoulder injury he suffered during Sunday's 20-13 loss versus the Cardinals, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon was feared to have suffered a torn labrum after he left New Orleans' regular-season debut early, and now it looks like he'll miss extended time as he recovers. In his absence, rookie third-rounder Jonas Sanker becomes a candidate to start at safety next to Justin Reid.

Blackmon tallied career-high marks across the board last season, emerging as one of the more dependable players in the Indianapolis secondary. He racked up 88 tackles (65 solo), eight passes defensed with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 15 games. Blackmon missed the last two games of the year due to a shoulder injury, but was back to full speed in spring workouts. He's set to start at strong safety.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be done for season
Blackmon may have suffered a torn labrum in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals that will require season-ending surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It would be a brutal blow for the veteran safety, who underwent surgery back in January on the same shoulder after playing through a labrum issue in 2024. If Blackmon does need to go under the knife again, 2025 third-round pick Jonas Sanker might need to step up more quickly than expected in the Saints' secondary after being used exclusively on special teams in Week 1.
