Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry is still looking for a new team, but might've found one with the New York Jets. The 31-year-old reportedly had a workout with the Jets this week. The nine-year veteran had a solid career during his time with the Miami Dolphins. Since he left Miami, Landry has started to go downhill. Injuries have kept Landry off the field and he hasn't played since the 2022 season with the New Orleans Saints. It's uncertain what exactly Landry has left in the tank to offer an NFL team. It's worth noting that the Jets signed UFL wideout Isaiah Winstead, which might mean bad news for Landry. However, there could be an injury in camp or an opening elsewhere for Landry before the 2024 season begins.
Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry spent an hour running around catching passes as a tryout player at the Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie minicamp on Friday. Landry was one of the league's top receivers in the first seven years of his career, making five Pro Bowls with the Dolphins and Browns. He led the NFL in catches in 2017 with 112 and had three 1,000-yard seasons in that span. But Landry only played in 12 games in 2021 with Cleveland due to a knee sprain, and he had a career-low in catches (52) and receiving yards (570). He played in just nine games with the Saints in 2022 due to an ankle injury and sat out in 2023. Landry looked healthy on Friday and was pleased with his workout, but it remains to be seen if the Jags will add him as receiver depth in addition to Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis and first-round rookie Brian Thomas.
Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry is expected to take part in the Jacksonville Jaguars' upcoming rookie camp, according to his agents. Landry sat out of the 2023 season and is fully healthy and ready to return at age 31 in 2024. The Jaguars added rookie Brian Thomas in the first round of this year's NFL draft and also signed Gabe Davis in free agency to help them account for the loss of Calvin Ridley. Jacksonville also has Christian Kirk returning from injury and Zay Jones, so even if Landry were to sign with the team, he'd be fighting an uphill battle for significant playing time in 2024. In nine games with the New Orleans Saints in 2022, Landry caught 25 of his 39 targets for 272 yards and one touchdown. If anything, he'd serve as receiver depth in the slot for Jacksonville.
Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry worked out for the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. The five-time Pro Bowler has not played with anyone in 2023 after two straight down seasons in 2021 and 2022 with the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints, respectively, that were marred by injuries. The 31-year-old slot receiver caught just 25 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in nine games for the Saints last year, but he does have nine years of experience in the NFL, including three 1,000-yard seasons. The Colts are looking for some receiver insurance heading into Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday after top wideout Michael Pittman Jr. suffered a concussion in last Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) is being placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Saints ruled Landry out for Week 16 against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, on Saturday, but now he'll miss the final three regular season games. If the Saints somehow win the NFC South, Landry would also be forced to miss the first game of the postseason. Rookie first-rounder Chris Olave (hamstring), the Saints' leading receiver, also won't play on Christmas Eve this weekend, forcing rookie Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway into bigger roles in the passing game on the road in Cleveland in what is expected to be poor weather. Landry also missed five games earlier this year and will finish the regular season with career-lows across the board in catches (25), targets (39), receiving yards (272) and TDs (one) in nine games.
New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (hamstring) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) have both been ruled out for the Week 16 contest versus the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Olave missed practice all week and Landry missed the last two days of practice after popping up on the injury report on Wednesday. Landry hasn't been much of a fantasy option at all this year, but Olave is the Saints' leading receiver and has been a top-25 wideout in half-point PPR setups in his first NFL season. The 22-year-old has been a consistent weapon with 63 catches for 940 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets in 13 games. With both Olave and Landry out, rookie Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway will be asked to step up, alongside breakout tight end Juwan Johnson. The Browns defense will be an interesting streaming unit this weekend.
Chris Olave, Jarvis Landry Miss Practice Wednesday
New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (hamstring) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. Olave has been unable to practice so far this week, leaving him very questionable to play in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. The 22-year-old first-rounder will need to practice on Thursday in order to have a shot at playing. Landry wasn't even on the injury report on Tuesday, so his status could now be in question for the weekend. If both Olave, the team's leading receiver, and Landry are unable to play against Cleveland, rookie Rashid Shaheed could be quarterback Andy Dalton's top target, alongside breakout tight end Juwan Johnson and receivers Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway.
New Orleans Saints veteran receiver Jarvis Landry put up a donut in the box score in Sunday's 21-18 win over Atlanta. Landry only had the ball thrown his way one time in the win. With the emergence of undrafted rookie Rashid Shaheed, Landry's role has lessened. He does not hold much fantasy value for the rest of the season as the fourth option in the Saints' passing attack and can be dropped in all formats ahead of the final two games of the fantasy playoffs.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry has had minor involvement in the offense over his last four games, averaging just over four targets per game. While the Saints' offense has been struggling over this stretch, they look to get back on track this week against an Atlanta defense ranking 27th against wide receivers for fantasy. Landry grabbed seven receptions on nine targets for 114 yards in Week 1 against Atlanta, good for his best game of the season. Despite facing a soft Atlanta defense, Landry cannot be trusted in lineups this week due to his low usage. He is best left on waivers ahead of this matchup.
New Orleans Saints veteran wide receiver Jarvis Landry was uninvolved in Monday night's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Landry was targeted three times and hauled in two passes from quarterback Andy Dalton for only 14 yards. Landry has not seen enough usage since returning from his injury in Week 10 to warrant fantasy consideration. Following the bye week this week, he can be left on waivers for the fantasy playoff stretch despite New Orleans seeing some solid matchups.
