Marquez Callaway, Lil'Jordan Humphrey May Have Bigger Roles
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receivers Marquez Callaway and Lil'Jordan Humphrey could see their roles increase in 2021, with star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) expected to miss the first few months of the season. Provided the Saints don't bring in a veteran receiver, second-year pros Callaway and Humphrey will be tasked with filling in the void of production a healthy Thomas likely would have provided in the offense. Callaway made the most of his opportunity in an October contest against the Panthers last year sans Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, turning a career-high 10 targets into eight receptions for 75 yards. Humphrey also briefly flashed, connecting with former signal-caller Drew Brees for a red-zone score. Given that they're unproven at the professional level, Callaway and Humphrey are likely to go undrafted in fantasy drafts this fall- though they should be on managers' radars as potential waiver wire pickups.
