Fantasy Impact

The Saints have begun the process of cutting the roster down to 53 players and Baker is included in this round of cuts. He was drafted in 2021 but has not appeared in a game as a receiver in his career.

Saints WR Kawaan Baker caught 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

The former seventh-round pick out of South Alabama, is fighting for a roster spot. Week 3 of the preseason could be the decision maker.

According to ESPN's Field Yates, New Orleans Saints WR Kawaan Baker has been suspended for six games for violating the league's policies on performance-enhancing substances.

Fantasy Impact

Baker was a seventh-round pick out of South Alabama in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he didn't see any playing time last season outside of special teams snaps. Baker was already fighting for a roster spot, and this doesn't help his chances on a Saints roster that is much deeper out wide than it was last season.
