Six years ago, it appeared that the Steelers had found a keeper in second-round receiver Chase Claypool.

Scoring Zone's Take
For Claypool, this continues a rocky stretch of bouncing between teams without a stable role, and his fantasy stock has been sliding for a while. Even if New Orleans signs him, he'd be fighting for a depth or special-teams-adjacent role behind the Saints' established pass-catchers, so don't bump him up your draft board on this news alone. He's best treated as a very late-round flier or practice-squad stash candidate at most, and only worth a roster spot in deep dynasty formats where you're banking on a change of scenery unlocking his talent.
Reynolds is a similar story — a proven possession/red-zone body but not someone who moves the needle unless he lands a clear starting role. If the Saints' receiver room has injuries or lacks depth, either player could carve out clear-catches volume, but there's nothing here confirming a signing, a role, or snap count expectations.
Bottom line for draft prep: keep both on your watchlist rather than your roster right now. Revisit if either is confirmed signed and shows up meaningfully in preseason usage reports — that will tell you far more about real fantasy value than a tryout invite does. No add/drop action is warranted yet given the speculative, 50%-confidence nature of this report.
