In need of production beyond Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, A.T. Perry looks to offer depth for the Saints wide receiver room.
A.T. Perry is expected to be ready for the start of the NFL season. Perry recently had to leave practice with an ankle injury. With so many reports of cart rides and rapid alerts for NFL players, this is welcome news for those who have been selecting A.T. Perry late in best ball drafts.
Earlier in the offseason, head coach Dennis Allen didn’t give off too much enthusiasm when describing A.T. Perry; rather Allen spoke to the need for improvement from the young wide receiver.
Perry delivered in his first preseason game with 4 receptions for 85 yards. The Saints depth chart is in much need of filling out and A.T. Perry is looking like a good late round dart throw in best ball drafts.

No one knows what it Means, but its provocative.
Fifth round rookie wide receiver Bub Means is beginning Saints training camp on the non-football injury list. The injury is not deemed serious. Means will have to pass a conditioning test prior to being activated for Saints training camp. Of note is that players do not start drawing their salary until they are activated from the NFI list.
The rookie from Pittsburgh runs a 4.43 40-yard dash and his athleticism score of 105.7 is 8th for the 2024 class of wide receivers. Once active in training camp, Bub Means will look to compete for the third wide receiver spot behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Means won’t have it easy as A.T. Perry has garnered late-round hype for the third wide receiver spot on the Saints. You can draft Bub Means as a late round dart throw on UnderDog in the 18th round.
In what is becoming a successive theme, Saints head coach Dennis Allen laments that wide receiver A.T. Perry is in need of improving his consistency on the football field.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen has been ever consistent when giving feedback on his players. Most recently, coach Allen spoke to the fact that wide receiver A.T. Perry has a long way to go and has shown signs of inconsistency. The praise involved Allen highlighting Perry’s ability as a playmaker and tremendous talent.
It is very difficult to decipher what players are doing poorly for the Saints as Dennis Allen’s critique’s of players usually end up with a backhanded comment towards needing to improve. As a pattern, we can see that not all criticisms doled out by Allen can be considered detrimental to a player’s outlook. With this in mind, it is also worth monitoring Perry’s progress reports when training camp begins.
With A.T. Perry being drafted on UnderDog Best Ball in round 18, he is best drafted to go along with Saints stacks and builds that work towards correlating with Saints opponents come the fantasy playoffs. From week 15-17, the Saints play the Washington Commanders, Green Bay Packers, and Las Vegas Raiders.
