Colts Re-Sign Laquon Treadwell to a One-Year Deal

Friday, March 13, 3:17 PM

The Indianapolis Colts re-signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, league sources told James Boyd of The Athletic. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2016 will now enter his third year with the Colts and his 11th season overall in the NFL. Boyd writes that Treadwell is a "solid special-teamer with no ego." The 30-year-old veteran out of Mississippi is unlikely to be a factor on offense for the Colts in 2026 as primarily a special teams asset. Treadwell has caught just one pass since the start of the 2023 season and has 111 receptions for 1,242 yards and five touchdowns in 93 games (24 starts) over his 10 years in the league. In the 10 games he appeared in, Treadwell didn't have a single target last year. He'll provide depth at the WR position behind Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Ashton Dulin.

Barion Brown Could Operate as a Starter After Strong Camp

Wednesday, September 9, 7:05 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Barion Brown could get into the starting lineup for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Brown had a strong camp, and he's in the mix for the No. 3 receiver role (and a starting job) after the Saints placed rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve. As it stands, Brown projects as the third receiver behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, although he's also likely behind Juwan Johnson in the pecking order. Nevertheless, the rookie out of LSU caught four passes for 53 yards during the preseason, and he proved that he deserves more opportunities than fellow rookie Bryce Lance. Whether or not Brown's No. 3 receiver role is enough to get him on the fantasy radar remains to be seen, but he is definitely trending up as the Saints look to distribute Tyson's temporarily vacated targets. He's an intriguing player to stash for the first few weeks in 14+ team leagues.
