The Indianapolis Colts elevated wide receiver Laquon Treadwell from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills after the team ruled out Michael Pittman Jr. (back) for Week 10. It will be the first week that Treadwell has been active for the Colts in 2024, and he'll be unlikely to make any noise in fantasy as receiver depth for Indy. With Pittman inactive, Josh Downs should serve as quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite target, with Alec Pierce and rookie Adonai Mitchell also seeing more opportunities. Treadwell, 29, only played in five games last year with the Baltimore Ravens and caught just one of three targets for a 16-yard gain. The previous year he caught six of 10 targets for 42 scoreless yards in six contests with the Seattle Seahawks.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught all seven of his targets for 72 yards in the team's win against the Cardinals. Treadwell led all pass-catchers in targets, receptions, and yards in yesterday's matchup. The 29-year-old signed with the Colts this offseason and hopes to make a spot on the 53-man roster, currently slated as a WR4 on the team's depth chart. Treadwell will look to build off of an impressive outing when the Colts face off against the Bengals in their final preseason game on Thursday.
Indianapolis Colts Sign Former First Round Pick Laquon Treadwell
The Indianapolis Colts agreed to terms with wide receiver Laquon Treadwell on Wednesday. The Colts waived wide receiver Xavier White in a corresponding move. Treadwell had limited opportunities last season with the Baltimore Ravens, appearing in only five games and making one reception on three targets in a meaningless Week 18 game. Drafted 23rd overall in 2016 by the Vikings, Treadwell has yet to surpass 35 catches or 434 receiving yards in a single season. His career has been marred by inconsistency, having not played more than six games in a season since his modest career-best year with Jacksonville in 2021. With a receiving corps already featuring Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, rookie Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce, Treadwell joins as a camp hopeful aiming to secure a depth role on the roster.
The Baltimore Ravens waived wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and placed defensive back Damarion Williams (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Monday. Treadwell has bounced around from the team's practice squad and the 53-man roster in 2023. The 28-year-old former first-rounder only appeared in five games with Baltimore and had one reception on three targets for 16 yards in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers when the Ravens were resting a lot of their regulars. Williams began the 2023 season on Injured Reserve after having ankle surgery. He was activated from IR before Week 15 but was inactive for the next three games before finally making his season debut in Week 18.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Laquon Treadwell found paydirt on Saturday night during the team's 20-26 loss in their final preseason game. The 28-year-old registered 33 yards on two catches and one score. Treadwell was the lone receiver with a touchdown in this game while catching both of his targets. He was competing with the likes of James Proche II, Tylan Wallace, and Dontay Demus Jr. for the sixth receiver spot on the roster. If Treadwell does make it on the roster, he would be a very deep bench piece that wouldn't make him fantasy-relevant.
The Baltimore Ravens agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with former Minnesota Vikings first-round wide receiver Laquon Treadwell on Monday, according to his agent, Michael Portner. The Ravens continue to beef up their receiving depth heading into the 2023 season, but Treadwell is likely to be buried on the depth chart. The 27-year-old caught just six of 10 targets for 42 yards in six games for the Seattle Seahawks in 2022, a year after posting 33 receptions for a career-high 434 yards and a touchdown in 12 games (seven starts) for Jacksonville in 2021. Treadwell is unlikely to have any kind of fantasy appeal, even in deeper leagues, while he's behind the likes of Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie first-rounder Zay Flowers. He'll have to compete with Devin Duvernay, Nelson Agholor and James Proche II, among others.
Veteran free-agent wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is visiting with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, according to a source. Treadwell was a former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2016 out of Mississippi, but he surely hasn't lived up to his draft stock in his seven years in the NFL, catching 110 of his 175 targets for 1,226 yards and only five touchdowns in 76 regular season games (23 starts) for the Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks. In only six games with Seattle last year, he caught six passes for 42 yards and no touchdowns on only 138 offensive snaps. Treadwell has also visited the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. Wherever he lands, he'll strictly represent receiver depth and won't be on the fantasy radar.
Free-agent wide receiver Laquon Treadwell worked out for the Dallas Cowboys on Friday. It appears the Cowboys aren't done adding to their wideout room after acquiring Brandin Cooks earlier this month. Treadwell was a former first rounder of the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. He hasn't really done much since entering the league. Treadwell posted his best season in 2021 with 33 receptions, 434 yards, and one touchdown in 12 games (seven starts) with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old is basically a depth option and probably won't be a factor in fantasy leagues.
The Seattle Seahawks have signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to their 53-man roster. Several weeks ago, the 27-year-old was added to their practice squad but has yet to suit up for a game. The team recently lost Tyler Lockett (finger), who is expected to have surgery and miss at least this week's game, if not longer. DK Metcalf remains their No. 1 option, with Marquise Goodwin next in the pecking order, but after that, the depth chart is wide open, creating an opportunity for the former first-round pick to make an impact. Treadwell is an intriguing addition in fantasy football as part of a pass-heavy offense that needs a third receiver.
The Seattle Seahawks are signing free-agent wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. The former first-round pick hasn't played yet in 2022 and spent the 2021 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording 33 catches on 51 targets for 434 yards and a touchdown in 12 games (seven starts). He was cut from the Arizona Cardinals practice squad last Tuesday and will now give the Seahawks some depth with both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett battling through injuries. The 27-year-old can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. In his six years in the NFL, Treadwell has 104 catches for 1,184 yards and five touchdowns on 165 targets in 70 games with the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons and Jaguars.
