Saints cut WR Joe Morgan

Dec 09, 2014

Joe Morgan is no longer a member of the New Orleans Saints.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the fourth-year wide receiver has been told he'll be waived, according to a source informed of the move.

The mood in New Orleans is "very tense," per Rapoport, who was told that more than 10 players were called individually into coach Sean Payton's office for review.

Morgan's release caps a rocky tenure with the Saints that saw him serve a two-game suspension last month for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Fantasy Impact:

The fallout begins in New Orleans. Despite an explosive performance against the Ravens in Week 12, Morgan has been an enigma in New Orleans. He missed all of last season with an ACL injury.

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

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.
