2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yarns signed as an undrafted rookie out of Delaware, where he totaled 269 carries for 1,783 rushing yards and 41 catches for 608 receiving yards in 22 games over the past two years. The Saints have a crowded running back room this offseason, but this unit features almost no returning production behind longtime starter Alvin Kamara. Yarns' value as a pass catcher should help his chances of carving out a role on third downs and/or special teams this preseason. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Saints in August of 2025.
Sent to waivers by Saints
New Orleans waived Yarns on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Yarns inked with the Saints in April shortly after going undrafted out of Delaware, but he never had a reasonable path to a spot on the 53-man roster due to the team's crowded running back room. He'll look to earn a practice-squad opportunity as a rookie, whether with New Orleans or another club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In mix for backup role
Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic lists Yarns as one of his top post-draft gems and thinks the running back could earn a spot on New Orleans' roster heading into training camp.
ANALYSIS
The Saints' running back depth chart is unsettled behind Alvin Kamara, with a mix of veterans and youngsters set to compete for roles, including Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jordan Mims, Velus Jones, Xazavian Valladay and Yarns. Kamara and Miller are recovering from a groin injury and concussion, respectively. Yarns ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash and contributed as both a runner and a pass catcher at Delaware, posting 21 rushing touchdowns and eight receiving touchdowns over the last two years.
