Fowler was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler was released toward the end of camp but received praise throughout practice. He rejoined the team as a member of the practice squad, but he now has a chance to be active for its Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Fowler was released Saturday, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite some encouraging words from quarterback Drew Brees a couple weeks ago, Fowler didn't make the cut for the Saints' final 53-man roster. After stints with the Broncos and Giants, he'll look for a new home elsewhere.

Fowler has earned high marks from Drew Brees and earned a spot at camp thanks to the quarterback, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Fowler, he tagged along with Emmanuel Sanders for a workout and impressed Brees enough to get a contract with New Orleans on Brees' recommendation. The QB gushed about Fowler in recent comments. "He's a guy who came in as an undrafted free agent so we say that he came in the hard way, right?" Brees said. "He's had to earn it each and every year. He's had to play a ton of special teams. So, to me, those guys are just football players. Whatever you need them to do, they're willing to step in and do it, and, at times, that's the dirty work." Despite the glowing words from Brees and relationship with Sanders from his time in Denver, Fowler won't be guaranteed a roster spot. He'll have to earn it over the next couple of weeks.

The Saints and Fowler agreed to terms of a contract Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his released from the Giants in late November, Fowler saw regular action in eight contests due to an injury-plagued receiving corps. During his five-year career, he's topped out at a 29-350-3 line on 56 targets in 2017 with the Broncos. Upon joining the Saints, Fowler will compete with Deonte Harris and Austin Carr for potentially the final WR spot on the depth chart.

The Giants waived Fowler on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler was a healthy scratch during Week 12's loss to the Bears, and the Giants are subjecting him to waivers for the second time this year. The 28-year-old wideout has accrued 23 receptions for 193 yards over eight games. With Golden Tate in concussion protocol, the Giants are expected to pick up another receiver ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Fowler (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

With Sterling Shepard back in the lineup, Fowler evidently doesn't factor into New York's plans on offense. In Fowler's stead, Cody Latimer and Cody Core could see larger depth roles.

Fowler caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler surpassed Cody Latimer as the team's No. 3 wideout, out-snapping the 27-year-old 55 to six. Sterling Shepard (concussion) may return following the team's upcoming bye, and that would send Fowler back into a reserve role. He's not a prized fantasy asset anyway, falling short of 40 yards in six straight outings.

Fowler caught three of six targets for 22 yards in Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler was the No. 4 receiver in this contest and should maintain the role as long as Sterling Shephard (concussion) is on the sidelines. The ceiling is low in Fowler's situation, however, as Golden Tate, Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram (foot) demand a bulk of Daniel Jones' targets.

Fowler caught both his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old worked as the team's No. 4 wide receiver and played 23 offensive snaps, his lowest snap total of the season. Fowler figures to continue working in a similar low-volume role until Sterling Shepard (concussion) is cleared to return.

Fowler caught four of five targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler had a solid start to the season on a short-handed Giants squad with 111 yards during his first two games. He fell out of favor and then was cut after Week 4. He didn't miss much of a beat Sunday. Fowler is a solid, physical down-roster option for the Giants, but it's fair to wonder where he'll stand once Evan Engram rounds back into form and Sterling Shepard (concussion) returns to the fold. Until then, a matchup against a stingy Detroit defense awaits.
