Keith Kirkwood Catches Touchdown In Defeat
Keith Kirkwood scored the team's lone touchdown of the game, a 30-yard catch in the Saints 13-10 loss to the Cowboys. It was the only reception of the game for Kirkwood but he now has touchdowns in each of his last two games. Injuries in the Saints wide receiver core has opened the door for Kirkwood to see some snaps. The 24-year-old, however, is no more than a bench stash in deeper fantasy leagues right now. His targets will have to increase in the coming weeks and will have a favorable matchup against a vulnerable Buccaneers secondary.

Keith Kirkwood Signed By Ravens
Keith Kirkwood on Friday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Athletic. Kirkwood took part in mandatory minicamp on a tryout basis earlier this offseason and performed well enough to earn a roster spot ahead of training camp. The 2018 undrafted free agent out of Temple has played in 30 total games for the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints and has racked up 24 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns. He has also played significant special teams snaps during his career.

Keith Kirkwood Waived By Saints
Keith Kirkwood has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This isn't surprising as Kirkwood's snaps have been taking a hit over the last month or so. He was a healthy scratch for each of the last two games. He will finish his 2023 Saints stint with one catch on four targets for four yards. Kirkwood will look to catch on elsewhere, but would likely be a depth option on any organization. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him going forward.

Saints Re-Sign Keith Kirkwood To One-Year Deal
Keith Kirkwood to an undisclosed one-year contract extension. In 2022, Kirkwood caught just two of his four targets for 18 yards in five games played. It was his third season with New Orleans after spending the first two years of his career with the team, when he caught a combined 13 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets in nine games played. The 28-year-old wideout spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, catching four of nine targets for 30 yards in only four games. Kirkwood will continue to serve as receiver and special teams depth for the Saints, but he won't have any fantasy appeal.

Panthers Re-Sign Keith Kirkwood
Keith Kirkwood to an undisclosed deal on Monday. Kirkwood has been with the team each of the last two seasons and has mainly served as a kick returner on special teams. In four games for the Panthers, he had four catches for only 30 yards on offense. The 27-year-old spent most of the 2021 season on the practice squad and was activated off Injured Reserve for just one game in 2020. To make room for Kirkwood on the roster, the team waived rookie Talolo Limu-Jones.
