Jake Kumerow Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints claimed wide receiver Jake Kumerow off waivers from the Bills, according to a source. Kumerow caught just one pass in six games with Buffalo before being waived, but that one catch was a 22-yard touchdown in the Week 15 win over the Broncos. Kumerow is unlikely to become a fantasy relevant option in New Orleans to close out the year, but he will provide much-needed receiver depth for a Saints team that just placed both wideouts Michael Thomas and Tre'Quan Smith on Injured Reserve. At least for the regular season finale in Week 17, veteran Emmanuel Sanders will remain the team's top receiver. Rookie Marquez Callaway and tight end Jared Cook will see more targets again next week.

The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Jake Kumerow on Thursday. Kumerow signed with the Bills practice squad after spending the last two seasons in Green Bay. The 28-year-old caught his only pass in six games with Buffalo in the Week 15 win over the Broncos, and it went for 22 yards and a touchdown. In his three seasons in the NFL, Kumerow has 21 receptions on 33 targets for 344 yards and three touchdowns in 25 games played (six starts). He'll try to latch on with another team as wide receiver depth, but he can obviously be ignored for fantasy purposes. Kumerow's release probably means that John Brown will be activated from Injured Reserve in order to play against the Patriots on Monday night.

The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Jake Kumerow to the active roster from the practice squad on Wednesday and designated Tyrel Dodson and Matt Milano to return to practice. Kumerow is providing depth for Buffalo's receiving room with John Brown on Injured Reserve. The 28-year-old wideout caught 20 passes for 322 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons with the Packers, and he will be behind receivers Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Andre Roberts and rookie Gabriel Davis in the wideout pecking order for Buffalo. Kumerow has been active for three games with the Bills this year but hasn't had a single target. Continue ignoring him for fantasy purposes.
