Draft note

by John Paulsen

Callaway drew three starts last year and had a 10-target game in another. In those four games he caught 18-of-24 targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns. His 1.56 yards per route run in those games is comparable to what Marvin Jones, Mike Williams and Laviska Shenault posted last season (~64th-66th among the 112 eligible receivers, per PFF). Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reported that Callaway has been the “breakout star” of camp while Smith has been sidelined with an unknown leg injury, though Smith returned to practice on August 17. With Michael Thomas likely to miss the first half of the season, Callaway could get off to a quick start. And now that Jameis Winston has been named the starter, Callaway’s star is on the rise.

Saints sign WR Kenny Stills

MSN

Sep 14 · 10:38 AM EDT

He isn’t quite the New Orleans Saints’ prodigal son, but Kenny Stills is in for a reunion with the team that made him a pro.

Related players: Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris, Chris Hogan

Fantasy Impact:

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Stills is signing with the Saints practice squad. The plan appears to be for him to work on the practice squad until he’s game-ready. Other reports say the Saints wanted another veteran presence in the locker room with Michael Thomas sidelined at the moment. The Saints rolled in Week 1, but it was an odd game in terms of fantasy output. Harris had two catches for 72 yards and a TD and TE Juwan Johnson went for 3-21-2. But Callaway, had just one catch for 14 yards and Chris Hogan added a 10-yard TD for his only catch. We still have a lot to learn about this current group of Saints WRs from a fantasy-value standpoint.

NO WR Marquez Callaway - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Packers

Marquez Callaway was one of the stars of the preseason, including his two-touchdown performance against the Jaguars, the game that sealed the starting quarterback role for Jameis Winston. Even in 2020, we saw small flashes of what Callaway can do in this offense, highlighted by his 75 yards on eight catches in Week 7 against the Panthers. With no Michael Thomas (and Emmanuel Sanders now in Buffalo), Callaway can lead the Saints' passing attack for the time being and really start to make some noise. But it also means he might draw Jaire Alexander, which should make for quite a battle.
