Brandon Coleman: Released by New Orleans
Brandon Coleman (undisclosed) was released by the Saints on Sunday with a failed physical designation, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Coleman opened up training camp on the PUP list, and while reports surfaced last week that he was close to 100 percent, it's clear the veteran wide receiver just could never get right. Coleman still can be a quality wide receiver at just 26 years old, so he likely won't have trouble finding a new home once he's medically cleared.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Settles on PUP list
The New Orleans Saints placed Brandon Coleman (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Since logging a veritable redshirt season in 2014 as an undrafted free agent, Coleman has been active for all 48 regular-season games in the meantime. However, he missed the Saints' divisional-round loss to the Vikings in January due to a neck injury. The exact nature of the current concern is unknown, but Coleman won't be on the practice field when training camp opens Thursday.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Returning to New Orleans
Brandon Coleman agreed Wednesday to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.Coleman opened the offseason as a restricted free agent but was became unrestricted after the Saints declined to extend him a qualifying offer. However, it turns out that Coleman won't be going anywhere, and he'll rejoin a New Orleans squad that recently added Cameron Meredith (knee) to slot in as the likely No. 3 wideout behind starters Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. That presumably means Coleman will compete with the likes of Willie Snead and Tommylee Lewis for one of the final roster spots at receiver, though Coleman should have a leg up given his effectiveness as a blocker in the run game.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Non-tendered by New Orleans
The New Orleans Saints didn't tender Brandon Coleman a contract for the 2018 season Wednesday, making the receiver an unrestricted free agent, Nick Underhill of The Baton Rouge Advocate reports.Coleman hits the open market following a 2017 campaign in which he caught only 23 passes despite serving as the Saints' No. 3 wideout for most of the season. The Rutgers product was efficient with his limited opportunities the past three years in New Orleans, producing 8.8 yards per target while scoring on eight of his 79 catches. The Saints are devoting most of their cap space to Drew Brees and the defense during the upcoming season, perhaps setting up an offensive-minded draft in April. Coleman will find an opportunity to compete for a depth receiver job elsewhere, unless he signs with the Saints for less than the original-round restricted free-agent tender.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Restricted free agent this offseason
Brandon Coleman, who did not play in the New Orleans Saints' 29-24 NFC divisional-round loss to the Vikings due to a neck injury, finished the 2017 regular season with 23 receptions for 364 yards and three touchdowns.Coleman appeared in all 16 games for New Orleans and the three touchdowns tied a career high. An excellent run blocker, Coleman saw substantial playing time as the Saints' No. 3 receiver but the Rutgers product was generally an afterthought in the passing game. Coleman is only 24 years old and will be a restricted free agent this offseason. At 6-foot-6, another team could sign him with the hope of turning him into a dangerous red-zone target. However, if Coleman returns to New Orleans next season he will probably need an injury to one of the receivers ahead of him on the depth chart (Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn) in order to make a significant fantasy impact.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Nursing neck injury
Brandon Coleman didn't practice Wednesday due to a neck injury, Larry Holder of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Since posting at least 30 receiving yards in five of the New Orleans Saints' first nine contests, Coleman compiled a minuscule eight receptions (on 13 targets) for 82 yards the rest of the regular season. Due to the scarce attention paid to him by Drew Brees during that span, Coleman's outing Sunday against the Panthers came as a surprise. Targeted first among Saints skill-position players, Coleman hauled in four of five passes for 44 yards by game's end. There's no guarantee he'll be as involved in Sunday's divisional-round matchup at Minnesota, but first he must ditch his injury in order to have any chance to replicate the previous performance.

Saints' Brandon Coleman: Best game in months
Brandon Coleman caught four passes on five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-26 playoff win against the Panthers.The New Orleans Saints' No. 3 receiver was targeted on Drew Brees' first pass of the game and remained involved throughout the victory. In fact, Sunday's contest marked the most yards Coleman has accrued since Week 7 and most catches since Week 2. Coleman has a tendency to disappear in games, which often makes him a risky fantasy choice in many leagues. However, as the playoff field and corresponding fantasy options dwindle, desperate owners could do worse than the 6-foot-6 receiver, despite a difficult test against a tough Vikings secondary next week.
