New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (hand) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report. The 24-year-old did not participate in the past two practices, which leaves his status unknown for Sunday after hitting the injury report on Thursday with a hand injury. Perry did not show signs of a previous injury earlier in the week, so his placement on the injury report on Thursday seemed very sudden. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to any updates regarding the Wake Forest product's status entering the weekend. Perry should serve as the No.3 wideout in the New Orleans passing attack when on the field. As a rookie last fall, he caught 12 passes for 246 yards and four scores. If Perry were to miss Sunday's season opener, both Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed should see a slight uptick in targets.

The New Orleans Saints have added wide receiver A.T. Perry (hand) to their injury report. This injury is concerning, given the critical role of hand health for a wide receiver. Perry had a standout preseason, leading the NFL with 176 receiving yards and positioning himself as a potential key contributor to New Orleans' offense in 2024. Currently listed as the third wide receiver on the Saints' depth chart behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, Perry demonstrated his red-zone capability by scoring 33% of his receptions last season, with four touchdowns on just 12 catches. Standing at 6'5", his exceptional body control makes him a valuable red-zone threat, especially on a roster with smaller receivers like Olave and Shaheed. If Perry cannot play, expect increased opportunities for Olave and Alvin Kamara in the passing game.

New Orleans Saints receiver A.T. Perry hauled in two receptions for 67 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. The second-year receiver flashed as a deep threat as a rookie and continued his impressive run of big plays this preseason. He projects as a starter in three-receiver sets with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed and is an intriguing late-round stash.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (ankle) left Tuesday's practice with an ankle injury. The severity of Perry's injury is currently unknown but he did walk off the practice field under his own power. Perry is listed as the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver and is in line to see decent target volume. He recorded 12 receptions for 246 yards and four touchdowns in 2023. He also had a solid outing in the Saints' first preseason game with four receptions for 85 yards. Perry is a decent sleeper candidate in fantasy football due to his knack for finding the endzone. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation as it unfolds.
Aug 13, 2024 6:55 PM EST
New Orleans Saints second-year receiver A.T. Perry impressed in Saturday night's preseason win over Arizona. Perry caught all four of his targets for a total of 85 yards, connecting with rookie Spencer Rattler for a 58-yard bomb for the night's longest play. The 24-year-old flashed as a deep threat last season and is currently competing for a starting role in the offense. He remains on the fantasy radar as a deep sleeper.
Aug 11, 2024 9:52 AM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry struggled early in the training camp, but according to team reporter Jeff Nowak, he's been "coming on strong lately" ahead of the team's first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. The sixth-round pick in last year's draft had a decent start to his career considering his draft position, catching 12 passes for 246 yards and four touchdowns. The Wake Forest product has a chance to play significant snaps in 2024 following the departure of longtime Saint Michael Thomas. Perry has a strong college production profile and above-average athleticism, so he could have some fantasy value in Derek Carr's offense. For now, he's likely the WR3 behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. It would be a surprise if he's a consistent producer, but his long frame could make him a top target in the red zone. His best value is as a late-round flier in best ball formats.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry had the best game of his career in Week 18's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Perry caught all three targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns, showing off a rapport with quarterback Derek Carr. The rookie receiver out of Wake Forest has proven to be a productive red zone target and could see his role in the offense increase with another offseason in the system. He is a solid dynasty stash who flashed his capabilities on Sunday.
Jan 7, 2024 5:49 PM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (illness) is officially active for Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The rookie has delivered nine catches, 193 yards, and two touchdowns through nine games, but he remains off the fantasy radar as the Saints' No. 3 receiver behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
Jan 7, 2024 11:58 AM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (illness) returned to practice on Friday and participated in full. The rookie did not practice on Thursday due to an illness. He is officially tagged as questionable for Week 18's game against the Atlanta Falcons but his return to practice suggests he will be available. Despite numerous injuries to the Saints' other receivers throughout the season, Perry has drawn just 15 targets, making nine catches for 193 yards and two touchdowns. His chances to make his mark in the season finale are slim but could improve if Juwan Johnson (chest) or Alvin Kamara (ankle) sit, leaving Derek Carr short a receiving option or two. In that case, Perry would be a bargain bin DFS play but otherwise would not hold any fantasy value.
Jan 6, 2024 12:43 AM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry (illness) wasn't feeling well on Thursday and was held out of the team's practice. Perry has several days to rest up and get ready for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. It's a must-win for the Saints to get into the postseason as well, so Perry will likely do everything in his power to be available for the team. The 24-year-old first-year player hasn't really moved the needle in fantasy all year despite several opportunities for increased targets with some of his teammates injured. All in all, Perry has only nine catches all year for 193 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets, so he'll be a DFS long shot if he's active in Week 18.
Jan 4, 2024 10:30 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry only saw one target on Thursday night late in the game, but he made the most of his volume as he turned the target into a 35-yard touchdown reception to cut Los Angeles' lead to ten (cut to eight with a Chris Olave two-point conversion). Operating as New Orleans' third receiver, Perry has not had significant volume in any game this season but makes the most of his opportunities with explosive, long plays. The touchdown was Perry's second on the season. Avoid rostering him in season-long formats, but the rookie is an intriguing stash in dynasty.
Dec 22, 2023 9:13 AM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has partially filled in for Michael Thomas (knee) in the offense over the past four games, but has made little impact with limited volume (10 total targets). With Chris Olave (ankle) trending towards missing Week 15's tilt against the New York Giants and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) still recovering, Perry could be in line for the biggest workload of his young career. Even if Olave does miss Sunday's contest, Perry still cannot be trusted as a surefire option despite the Giants giving up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. He has not shown any ability to draw targets, making him a non-trustworthy option. He can be considered as a flex option in deep leagues, but beware his low floor.
Dec 15, 2023 10:23 AM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry only saw one target in the Week 14 win over Carolina, but he hauled the pass in for a 44-yard reception. Despite just having one catch, Perry led New Orleans in receiving yards in the win. The rookie has now made splash plays in back-to-back games, as he hauled in a 30-yard catch in Week 13. While his low target volume does not warrant fantasy consideration at this time, the rookie has a clear talent and is worth monitoring in the event that he does begin to carve out a more consistent role in the passing game. Perry's next opportunity to shine will be in Week 15 against the New York Giants.
Dec 10, 2023 5:40 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has seen an uptick in playing time over the past three games with the position group banged up, but it has not translated to significant enough volume to warrant starting him in fantasy lineups. Perry saw three targets in Week 13's loss to Detroit, hauling in a single 30-yard reception. His snap count has decreased each week since seeing 84% of snaps in Week 11, and no New Orleans pass catcher outside of Chris Olave should be trusted against a Carolina defense that limits opposing receiver production (9th).
Dec 7, 2023 2:23 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry was expected to have an expanded role in the passing game in Week 13 against the visiting Detroit Lions with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) ruled out. That wasn't the case in the 33-28 loss on Sunday, as Perry was targeted three times and caught just one of them for a 30-yard pickup. As has been the case for most of the year, top receiver Chris Olave and running back Alvin Kamara were the primary weapons through the air and combined for 16 targets and 11 receptions. The 24-year-old sixth-round pick out of Wake Forest has only four receptions on nine targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in his first five NFL games in 2023. Even if Shaheed misses the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers, Perry will be hard to recommend as a deep-league flex, although he could have more upside if quarterback Jameis Winston gets a start over the injured Derek Carr.
Dec 4, 2023 12:31 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has only been active in five games this season but has stepped into the starting outside receiver role with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve. Perry played 84% of snaps in Week 10 and caught his first career touchdown, and played 74% of snaps in Week 12 but only saw two targets. With Chris Olave (concussion protocol) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) banged up, Perry can be considered in deep leagues against a Detroit defense that ranks 29th against opposing receivers in fantasy points per game. Monitor Olave's status - if he can't clear protocol prior to Sunday, the sixth-rounder out of Wake Forest should see significant enough volume to be thrust into lineups.
Dec 1, 2023 10:22 AM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 10 in the win over the Minnesota Vikings and was expected to be more involved coming out of the bye in Week 12 versus the Atlanta Falcons with Michael Thomas (knee) on Injured Reserve. However, Perry only caught one of two targets for seven yards on Sunday in a game in which both Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) were hurt and never returned. It was a disappointing showing for those that picked him up in deeper leagues after Thomas' injury, but it doesn't mean that he won't have a much more substantial role moving forward if one or both of Olave and Shaheed have to miss time. Along with Perry, tight ends Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson and receiver Keith Kirkwood could see more targets.
Nov 27, 2023 12:32 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry is now third on the depth chart behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve. The rookie impressed in Week 10 with a high-point catch in the end zone, playing 84% of the snaps and making his first two career catches. Perry projects as a bit of an unknown from a fantasy perspective, given that he only has one game of usage, but he should be rostered in deeper leagues as he could pick up some of Thomas' vacated targets. Perry should see another high snap count and can be considered as a starting flex option in deep leagues against an Atlanta secondary surrendering the 10th most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers.
Nov 24, 2023 10:38 AM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry filled in nicely for the injured Michael Thomas (knee) in Week 10's loss to Minnesota. Perry was targeted four times, hauling in two catches for 38 yards and a touchdown in which he made an impressive grab in the end zone on a dart from quarterback Jameis Winston. The Wake Forest product proved he belongs in the league and should continue to work into the offense if Thomas cannot go after the bye.
Nov 12, 2023 10:19 PM EST
New Orleans Saints rookie receiver A.T. Perry started Sunday's preseason finale, hauling in three passes for 12 yards on four targets. The sixth-round rookie made some splash plays in preseason Week 1, but struggled to get anything going the past two weeks. He should be on the right side of the roster bubble as the fourth or fifth receiver in New Orleans, but with Jontre Kirklin and Shaquan Davis impressing it will be a situation worth monitoring until Tuesday passes. Perry is an intriguing dynasty stash given his elite college production and his size/speed combo.
