The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Chris Hogan on the Reserve/Retired list on Saturday. Hogan came out of retirement to play five games with the Saints this year, but he has apparently decided he's riding off into the sunset... again. The 33-year-old hauled in just four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in his five games for New Orleans. Hogan started his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills in 2012 and played four seasons with them. He also spent three years with the New England Patriots and one year each for the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets before joining the Saints in 2021. Hogan finishes his career with 220 catches (358 targets) for 2,836 yards and 19 touchdowns in 105 games (40 starts) over 10 seasons.
The New Orleans Saints signed free-agent wide receiver Chris Hogan to a contract on Monday. He was released by the Saints last week. The former New England Patriot impressed the Saints during training camp and was brought back by the team. Hogan finished with 14 receptions for 118 yards on 26 targets in five games with the New York Jets last season. The Saints will roll with Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Hogan as their top receivers until star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) returns. Hogan is not on the fantasy radar in 2021.
The New Orleans Saints have cut wide receiver Chris Hogan, according to Katherine Terrell of The Athletic. Hogan was brought in to fill in a hole at receiver, but it looks like the team is content with the other WRs, thus releasing the veteran. The 34-year-old started off his career in Buffalo from 2013-15 but really flourished in New England with Tom Brady from 2016-2018. Last season, Hogan finished with 14 receptions for 118 yards on 26 targets in five games with the New York Jets. With the release of Hogan, the Saints will go forward with Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey as their top three receivers.
The New Orleans Saints signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Chris Hogan on Monday, according to a source. The Saints were impressed with Hogan's workout on Monday and signed him before he got away. The 33-year-old wideout played in just five games with the New York Jets last year and had 14 catches for 118 yards on 26 targets, but he should be a boost to New Orleans' depth at the position with Michael Thomas (ankle) possibly missing up to six games with his ankle injury. Hogan, a nine-year NFL veteran, hasn't played a full season since 2018. However, he'll bring a veteran presence to a young wideout core. There is opportunity in New Orleans with Thomas injured, but Hogan might be a long shot for fantasy relevance with the Saints.
The New York Jets released wide receiver Chris Hogan on Saturday. The wideout had 14 catches for 118 yards in five games before he landed on the Injured Reserve in October with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 5. It's never a good sign when you're released by an 0-11 team, but Hogan's injury surely played a big part in this transaction. The 33-year-old had just eight receptions for 67 yards in seven games for the Panthers in 2019. He hasn't been fantasy relevant since his time in New England (2016-18). Gang Green will move forward in three-wide sets with Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and rookie Denzel Mims, with Vyncint Smith, Jeff Smith and Braxton Berrios serving as receiver depth.
Chris Hogan Lands On Injured Reserve With Ankle Injury
New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve as of Tuesday after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain after being carted off the field Sunday versus Arizona. Josh Malone was added to the teams practice squad and could be a weapon at wideout Sunday versus Miami if hes elevated to the active roster, but he would hold little fantasy intrigue in New York's putrid offense. While Hogan has two eight-target games to his credit in 2020, his lack of touchdowns (zero) showcases his role in a weak New York offense. Once he returns this year, hell have to prove to be a consistent asset before fantasy managers will even consider picking him up off the waiver wire, even in deeper leagues.
New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (ankle) was carted off the field Sunday against Arizona, but the good news coming out of Monday is that he only sustained a high ankle sprain. The Jets have not announced a timetable for when Hogan may return to the mix, but its unquestionably a positive outcome after what looked as if it could have been a season-ending ailment. Hogan has compiled 14 receptions for 118 yards this year, and with pass-catching options dwindling for New York, Jamison Crowder should continue to see ample opportunities out wide. Check back for updates on Hogans status as they become available, but he can likely remain on the waiver wire in most season-long formats even when healthy.
New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee) was carted off the field during the Week 5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran receiver hauled in all three of his targets for 20 yards before exiting the game. It's unclear how long Hogan will be sidelined, but he doesn't have much fantasy value anyway. Breshad Perriman (ankle) is expected to return for the Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. That should basically eliminate any fantasy value that Hogan had.
New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Adam Gase told media after the game that the injury didn't look good and that Hogan would have an MRI on Monday. Hogan has been a regular part of the offense so far this year. He caught all three of his targets for 20 yards this week. If he misses extended time, Jamison Crowder will be leaned on even more and second-year receiver Jeff Smith, who had 11 targets in Week 5, could continue to see heavy usage.
New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee, ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Hogan was limited in practice all week, so we'd expect him to suit up this Sunday. The former Patriots receiver surely has a path to more targets with Breshad Perriman (ankle) likely to miss another game, as he saw a healthy eight targets in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos. However, Hogan caught just four of those eight targets for 23 yards and remains one to avoid in the majority of fantasy leagues, especially now that Sam Darnold (shoulder) has given way to veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. Hogan has 98 scoreless yards through four games this year. Jamison Crowder is the only Jets receiver you should consider starting.
