Emmanuel Butler Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler didn't get to show off what everyone has been talking about in the Saints second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Butler has been the talk of the town at training camp so far this season by showing major talent as an undrafted rookie. In Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Butler was targeted three times but wasn't able to complete a catch. Butler should only be valued in dynasty leagues, for now, until we see more from him on gameday.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler didn't play in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Butler was putting up impressive play after impressive play to start training camp, but missed almost a week after landing awkwardly in practice. The team held him out of the opener, but we'll likely see him on the field as the preseason progresses. Butler and fellow undrafted rookie Lil'jordan Humphrey are both hoping to grab roster spots. Butler appeared to be in the lead early, but Humphrey had a strong game on Friday. Let's see how this situation develops, but Butler should at least be rostered in dynasty leagues.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler has been putting on a show at Saints training camp this year. Butler wasn't drafted after suffering a shoulder injury at Northern Arizona University, but was picked up by the Saints and is showing the talent that you would expect from a much-anticipated rookie. Former Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief had this to say about Butler. I think they feel really, really good about that guy. I think hes a player. Hes a guy I think you turn around in three or four years and just be like, I cant believe we got that guy undrafted. We stole him. Butler isn't currently listed on the Saints depth chart, but could be a steal in deeper leagues this season if he makes the team.

New Orleans Saints undrafted rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler has reportedly impressed the team so far in both OTAs and training camp. On Friday, Butler made the "best catch of practice" according to ESPN's Mike Triplett, who says that Friday's performance should be a big help to Butler's chances of making the team. Any Saints wide receiver has the potential to be fantasy relevant, though we should hold off on considering Butler someone to stash in fantasy until we know if he'll make the team.
