Everyone knew the New Orleans Saints would end up here at some point in 2021: staring at their underachieving wide receiver room and thinking, “We need help. Badly.”
These contemplations started with Michael Thomas’ surgery news and continued as Marquez Callaway and others failed to impress through three weeks of the season.
Callaway just scored his first career touchdown, Kenny Stills recently rejoined the team, and Deonte Harris is a superhuman force on special teams, but no wideout has proved his consistency, much less earned the No. 1 wide receiver position.
Nothing is going well for the Saints’ wide receivers right now, so New Orleans could afford to take a flyer on some outside talent: Philadelphia Eagles’ WR Travis Fulgham.
