The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was recently released by the New Orleans Saints after spending his rookie campaign with them in 2023. The former sixth-round continued to be a healthy scratch on gameday, so the team eventually decided to move on. Perry hauled in 12 receptions for 246 yards and four touchdowns across 10 games with the Saints last season. He'll be extra depth for the Broncos right now, but could find his way to the active roster at some point. For now, fantasy managers can leave Perry on the waiver wire.

The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver A.T. Perry (hamstring) on Friday, according to a source. Perry has been banged up early on in 2024 and wasn't able to get on the field at all for the Saints through the first four weeks of the season. The 24-year-old pass-catcher will now hope to latch on with another organization in his second year in the NFL. The sixth-round selection last year out of Wake Forest caught 12 of his 18 targets in his rookie season for 246 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games played (three starts). With Perry now gone, rookies Mason Tipton and Bub Means and Cedrick Wilson Jr. will continue to fight for playing time as the WR3 in New Orleans behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. If Perry signs with another team, he'll likely have to work his way up off the practice squad.

In addition to New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest), the team ruled out wide receiver A.T. Perry (illness) for the Week 3 contest on Sunday against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Perry came into this one listed as questionable but was a full participant on Friday after popping up on the Week 3 injury report on Thursday. It appears the Saints weren't comfortable enough with the 24-year-old being active this weekend, but Perry should be feeling good enough to return in Week 4 to face the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. The sixth-round pick last year has yet to draw a single target through the first two weeks of the 2024 season and remains well off the fantasy radar for now. With Perry sidelined, Cedrick Wilson Jr. should have an enhanced role in the Saints offense on Sunday behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 24-year-old missed Week 1 with a hand injury but was a full participant in practice this week. Now, he's sidelined again, but this time for non-injury reasons. The Saints will enter their second game of the season with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed atop their depth chart, followed by undrafted rookie Mason Tipton as their No. 3 receiver.
Sep 15, 2024 12:18 PM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice according to the team's injury report. Perry missed Week 1 with his hand injury but looks like he will be good to go when the Saints take on the Cowboys in Week 2 barring a setback. Perry's role this season is yet to be defined and the team's matchup with Dallas is a tough one. With Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed as the team's main targets on the outside, Perry is still an intriguing talent worth stashing as his usage becomes more clear.
Sep 12, 2024 9:18 AM EST
New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry (hand) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but had an unfavorable outlook after missing practice on Friday. Indeed, he'll spend the season opener in street clothes, leaving Cedrick Wilson Jr. in line for the No. 3 role. Chris Olave remains the only must-start receiver in the Saints' offense, but deep threat Rashid Shaheed deserves some WR3/FLEX consideration with a decent matchup on tap.
Sep 8, 2024 11:54 AM EST
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.
Sep 5, 2024 4:12 PM EST
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.
Aug 25, 2024 8:41 PM EST
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.
Aug 8, 2024 9:25 AM EST
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).
