Payton: Saints WR depth chart 'written in chalk'

Aug 27, 2018

Outside of Michael Thomas, the pecking order for the rest of the Saints' wide receiver corps is one of the hardest to pin down in the entire NFL. Their preseason usage has offered little guidance. And Sean Payton said after Saturday's win at the Los Angeles Chargers:

"That depth chart is like written in chalk. It's not permanent ink."

Related players: Cameron Meredith, Ted Ginn, TreQuan Smith, Austin Carr

Fantasy Impact:

Meredith is on the mend from surgery and remains a work in progress. The story said he has zero catches in the preseason. Ginn was called out twice for running the wrong route while Smith has been very exciting, but is still working on assignments and alignment. Carr, meanwhile, played ahead of Meredith in the slot and caught three passes for 38 yards.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
