The Saints waived wide receiver Bryan Edwards on Tuesday. The wideout, a 2020 third-round pick for the Raiders, hasn't met expectations during his career, totaling 48 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 36 games with Las Vegas and Atlanta. He signed with New Orleans in March, so he didn't last long with the Saints. However, he may get claimed off waivers, although that won't mean a thing for fantasy purposes.
Free-agent wide receiver Bryan Edwards has signed with the New Orleans Saints. The details of the contract haven't been announced, but it's assumed to be a one-year deal. The 24-year-old will reunite with his former teammate Derek Carr in New Orleans. The former third round pick has failed to solidify a role for himself in the NFL. Edwards has 48 receptions, 779 yards, and four touchdowns in parts of three seasons. He was cut by the Atlanta Falcons after seven games last season. Edwards appears to have the potential to be a legitimate option in the league, but he hasn't put it together yet. He remains nothing more than a dynasty stash right now.
The Atlanta Falcons decided to move on from wide receiver Bryan Edwards earlier this week. The former third round pick has now cleared waivers and has become a free agent. The 24-year-old played a very minimal role on the Falcons offense this season. Before that, Edwards had 45 receptions, 764 yards, and four touchdowns through two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. There is certainly talent and potential here in Edwards, but Atlanta wasn't the right fit for him. Now, he'll have a chance to sign with a contender as a possible depth option. It's uncertain if he'll have fantasy value right away as it depends on where he signs.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards was placed on waivers on Thursday, according to a source. He'll be a potential late-season addition for a wide receiver-needy team. Edwards only played in seven games (one start) for a Falcons team thin on receiving depth, and he caught just three of five targets for 15 yards in his seven games. In his three seasons in the NFL (two with the Las Vegas Raiders), the 24-year-old wideout has just 48 receptions on 79 targets for 779 yards and four touchdowns. His best season came in 2021 with the Raiders, when he caught 34 of 59 targets for 571 yards and three touchdowns. It's unlikely that Edwards will become fantasy relevant as receiver depth for the rest of the 2022 campaign if he is picked up by another club.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Edwards has one catch for two yards through two games this season. Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Olamide Zaccheaus should headline the receiving game in this one.
Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Bryan Edwards and Damiere Byrd are both healthy scratches for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Edwards has one catch for two yards this year while Byrd has yet to be active for a game. Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Olamide Zaccheaus should headline the receiving game in this one.
Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the injury that wide receiver Bryan Edwards (shoulder) suffered in Saturday's training camp practice isn't serious. "It's nothing that's considered long term. We'll take it day by day," Smith said. Edwards wasn't seen with the other receivers at the start of practice on Monday and he might miss another couple of days, but he should be just fine for the start of the regular season. After a disappointing 2021 campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders, the 23-year-old has the chance to be Atlanta's No. 2 wideout behind rookie first-rounder Drake London. However, that role isn't likely to be a very fruitful one on a weekly basis in fantasy with quarterback Marcus Mariota throwing him the pigskin.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards (arm) isn't among the team's receivers early on at practice on Monday after he "fell on his shoulder" during Saturday's training camp practice, according to general manager Terry Fontenot. The Falcons haven't had an update on the seriousness of Edwards' injury, so for now he should be considered day-to-day. In his first year in Atlanta, the 23-year-old is expected to be the team's No. 2 receiver behind first-round rookie Drake London in an offense led by quarterback Marcus Mariota. However, Edwards' chances of seeing significant targets could take a hit early in the season if his arm injury forces him to miss substantial practice time in training camp.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards (arm) suffered an injury during 11-on-11 drills at training camp practice on Saturday and got up holding his right arm before leaving for the locker room to be looked at by doctors. Head coach Arthur Smith said he doesn't think the injury is serious, but the Falcons will know more after they run some tests. For now, we should consider the 23-year-old day-to-day. Edwards has been working with the starters in camp opposite first-round rookie Drake London as the No. 2 wideout for the Falcons. He was a disappointment in his second NFL season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, catching 34 passes for 571 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games (12 starts). In an offense run by quarterback Marcus Mariota, Edwards won't have a ton of fantasy upside.
The Atlanta Falcons acquired wide receiver Bryan Edwards from the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. It's unknown what the Raiders are receiving in return. Even after adding wideout Drake London in the first round of this year's draft, the Falcons were in need of more receiving help with Calvin Ridley suspended for all of the 2022 season. Given that Olamide Zaccheaus and Auden Tate are the top receivers behind London, Edwards could immediately become the No. 2 pass-catcher for quarterback Marcus Mariota this year. The former third-round pick had 571 receiving yards and three touchdowns last year on 34 receptions in just his second NFL season, and he's still only 23 years old. There is more opportunity for Edwards in Atlanta, but it's also a downgrade overall on offense from Derek Carr to Mariota.
