Laquon Treadwell Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to their practice squad on Wednesday. Treadwell didn't make the club's 53-man roster out of training camp, but he'll remain with the team. A first-round pick by the Vikings in 2016, the Ole Miss product never lived up to the hype as a receiver. He's got good size at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, but he put up just 65 receptions on 107 targets for 701 yards and two touchdowns in his four years with Minnesota in 53 total games. Treadwell could be intriguing if injuries strike the Falcons wideouts and he's brought up to the active roster, but he's well off the fantasy radar for now.

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The former first-round pick's contract with the Vikings expired at the end of last season and signed with Atlanta in March. While he's never finished a season with more than 302 receiving yards, the fifth-year pro was expected by some to rebound in Atlanta on a team with plenty of question marks at receiver behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Instead, he heads back to free agency and Russell Gage appears to have locked in the No. 3 receiver job for the Falcons, making him an intriguing late-round pick in deeper leagues. Treadwell might land elsewhere, but his value is at an all-time low.

The Atlanta Falcons are planning to sign wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, according to a source. The 24-year-old was a first-round pick of the Vikings (23rd overall) in 2016 but disappointed with 65 catches for 701 yards and two touchdowns in 53 games (16 starts) over four seasons with the team. Treadwell will strictly be depth in Atlanta behind Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage, so he's unlikely to have any fantasy appeal to begin the 2020 season in his new home. Expect him to compete for a spot on the final roster during training camp and the preseason.
