Bryan Edwards

According to Field Yates of ESPN, WR Bryan Edwards is being waived by the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards, a former teammate of QB Derek Carr, signed with the Saints back in March. Looking to potentially add to the receiving depth, Edwards got his opportunity with the Saints in the preseason, seeing nine targets in two games; however, he caught just three of them for 37 yards. In Week 2 of the preseason, he had no catches and two crucial penalties called against him. The 24-year-old WR will hit the waiver wire and has the potential to be claimed by a team looking for a young, vertical sideline receiver.

Bryan Edwards is officially inactive for Atlanta's game against Los Angeles in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards caught one pass last week, and it was a coach's decision to make him inactive. Drake London, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Damiere Byrd will hold down WR duties for Marcus Mariota and the Falcons.

Bryan Edwards is inactive for Atlanta's Week 3 game against Seattle.

Fantasy Impact

In the first two weeks of the season, Edwards has been targeted only three times, hauling in one catch for two yards. KhaDarel Hodge could be in line for a couple of targets in his absence.

Bryan Edwards caught his lone target for 12 yards in Atlanta's preseason loss to the New York Jets.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards made his first preseason appearance for the Falcons, going for a 12-yard grab on the opening possession. He had dealt with a shoulder injury in late July and early August, but appears to be healthy and ready to go for Week 1. Edwards is slated to serve as the WR2 for Atlanta this season, but is more of a speculative pick in fantasy drafts.

According to Michael Rothstein of ESPN, Atlanta Falcons WR Bryan Edwards went down with an arm injury during 11-on-11 drills in practice on Saturday. Head coach Arthur Smith doesn't believe it's "that bad," but Edwards will receive an MRI just in case.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Falcons for a 2023 fifth-round pick during the 2022 offseason. Although Edwards has not been a strong fantasy option yet in his first two seasons, finishing as WR129 and WR62, he has a new start in Atlanta where he adds to their theme of length at receiver — WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts included. The hope is that Smith is right and Edwards won't have to miss much time so he can continue to build chemistry with the team's new starting QB Marcus Mariota.
