Ginn had four catches on seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's win against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn did nearly all of his damage on a 42-yard catch-and-run that set up the Saints' game-winning field goal in the final minute. A bigger day was within reach for Ginn, but Drew Brees underthrew the wide-open speedster on what would have been a 51-yard touchdown in the second quarter, which allowed cornerback Damarious Randall to break up the pass. In the end, Ginn is a decent option in deeper fantasy leagues -- capable of making a huge play downfield in any given game -- but he is still third in the Saints' pass-catching pecking order, behind No. 1 receiver Michael Thomas and running back Alvin Kamara, which leaves him prone to weekly volatility.

Ginn (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn was included on the Saints' initial Week 2 injury report as a non-participant due to a knee injury, but he gradually built up his activity level, logging a limited session Thursday before taking every rep Friday. He's thus set to take on a Browns defense that gave up 313 passing yards to the Steelers in the regular-season opener.

Ginn (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn took a step forward after failing to log any reps during the Saints' first practice of the week, but a full session Friday would likely eliminate any concern about his availability for the Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The wideout turned in a serviceable outing for fantasy owners in the season-opening loss to the Buccaneers with five receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown on six targets, but Ginn could see more limited involvement in Week 2 if the Saints are able to control the game flow early on.

Ginn (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn opened the season with five catches (on six targets) for 68 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Buccaneers while playing 50 of 64 offensive snaps. The productive outing was followed by a DNP on Wednesday, though, placing a fog over his Week 2 availability. A return Thursday is a good sign for Sunday's game against the Browns, but until the injury report is released, its unclear if he was limited or progressed all the way to a full participant.

Ginn (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn didn't seems to have any limitations in Sunday's 48-40 loss to Tampa Bay, logging 50 of 64 snaps on offense while drawing targets deep into the fourth quarter. This may just be a matter of maintenance, but we'll need to take it seriously if he isn't back at practice Thursday.

Ginn caught five passes on six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He also gained five yards on one carry.
EDGE Analysis
On an afternoon where Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara combined for a whopping 27 receptions, Ginn still had a solid opener. Importantly, Ginn showed that he still has his trademark speed, even in his 12th NFL season, when he blew by cornerback Carlton Davis for a 28-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Ginn will still likely remain a boom-or-bust player but with Cameron Meredith inactive and Tre'Quan Smith invisible in his rookie debut, Ginn appears locked in as Drew Brees' No. 2 receiver in New Orleans.

Ginn caught two passes on four targets for seven yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn twice either ran the wrong route or was not aligned properly, as head coach Sean Payton expressed his displeasure with the entire wide receiver corps following the ugly offense performance. Still, it's reasonable to expect the 11-year veteran to clean up those mistakes by the time the games count. Although offseason acquisition Cameron Meredith -- as well as third-round draft pick Tre'Quan Smith -- could cut into Ginn's target share in 2018, the speed merchant remains one of the most dangerous deep threats in the NFL, even if his week-to-week variability makes him an inconsistent fantasy option.

WR FA
Ginn is one of four Saints wideouts assured of a roster spot, along with Michael Thomas, Cameron Meredith (knee) and rookie Tre'Quan Smith, Larry Holder of The Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn vastly outperformed his contract in the first season of a three-year, $11 million deal, producing 14.8 yards per reception and 11.2 per target, topped off with 12 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games. The 33-year-old nonetheless faces more competition for snaps in 2018, as Meredith could make a push to earn some playing time in two-wide formations. Ginns still profiles as the team's primary deep threat and is locked in for three-wide sets. Last year's efficiency will be tough to match, but a slight uptick in targets (4.7 per game) isn't out of the question.

Ginn caught eight of 11 targets for 72 yards during Sunday's 29-24 NFC divisional-round loss to the Vikings. He also took one carry for eleven yards.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn could've had a bigger day had a 29-yard touchdown not been called back due to penalty. Still, he fared well against a tough Vikings secondary that ranked among the league's best in most defensive categories against the pass during the regular season. Although the Saints are now out of postseason contention, Ginn remains under contract for the next two seasons along with teammate Michael Thomas, though it's worth noting that Willie Snead will be a restricted free agent at the end of the league year. Regardless, Ginn has established himself as the Saints' clear No. 2 receiver that possesses high upside with an admittedly low floor as Drew Brees' deep threat. He should be considered more valuable in standard leagues than PPR given the nature of his role.

Ginn caught four of six targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 NFC wild-card win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Ginn burned his former team with a season-long, 80-yard touchdown to close the first quarter. With the help of that timely contribution, Ginn managed his second-most yards all season. Still capable speeding past defenders, Ginn now boasts solid momentum heading into next Sunday's divisional round clash versus the Vikings.
