ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports free agent WR Marquez Callaway plans to sign with the Buccaneers.
Callaway last played for the Saints in 2023, though he saw no touches and just 28 snaps in three games. The former undrafted rookie free agent had his best season in 2021, catching 46 passes for 698 yards and six touchdowns as a Saint. Callaway returns to the NFC South to provide receiver depth for the Bucs’ practice squad.
Broncos signed WR Marquez Callaway, formerly of the Saints, to a one-year contract.
Callaway reunites with head coach Sean Payton after spending two seasons with him in New Orleans. An undrafted rookie free agent from the 2020 class, Callaway emerged to go for 46-698-6 in his second season with the Saints. At this time, He currently finds himself in a deep receiver room that included Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, and K.J. Hamler. However, if any rumored trades of Sutton or Jeudy come to fruition, there's a chance Callaway could see a slight boost in playing time. He has no real fantasy value at this time.
The Saints did not tender restricted free agent Marquez Callaway, making him a free agent.
The target of a ton of target volume buzz in 2021, Callaway fell to just a 16/158/1 line in 2022 as he was mostly phased out of the offense. In the four games in which he saw at least five targets, he only went over 36 yards once. Callaway could be an interesting reclamation project elsewhere, but it's hard to believe he's more than a deep stash in larger leagues at this point.
Marquez Callaway is inactive for Week 12 against the 49ers.
This one is a bit of a surprise, as Callaway is listed with the first team receivers on the team's official depth chart. Callaway has seen his snaps dialed back significantly over the last three weeks and was never on the radar as a fantasy option.
