Marquez Callaway Thriving As Number-One Wideout
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway has stepped into the number-one wideout role with Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (leg) sidelined. Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports that Callaway is "taking ownership of being the top dog," as well as "playing with a lot of confidence." The 23-year-old has only made three starts in his NFL career but showed a ton of potential as the top option in an October contest last season, hauling in eight of 10 targets for 75 yards. It's unclear how long Smith's leg injury will keep him on the sidelines, though it sure looks like Callaway is seizing the opportunity ahead of him. He's looking like a great, late-round value for fantasy managers at the moment, particularly in deeper formats.
