25-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Denver Broncos
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Callaway signed a one-year deal with the Broncos this offseason after playing his first three seasons in New Orleans. The 25-year-old had an underwhelming 2022 campaign, posting just 16 grabs for 158 yards and one touchdown in 14 games with the Saints. In joining Denver, Callaway is reunited with his former head coach Sean Payton, which could yield a boost to his production. The 6-2, 204-pounder produced career-best marks (46-698-6 receiving line) when the two worked together in 2021. Even so, Callaway may face an uphill battle to meaningful playing time with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler and rookie Marvin Mims also currently in the wideout mix.

ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-2 receiver is coming off a 2022 season in which he caught 16 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown in 14 games with the Saints, but it's worth noting that Callaway posted career-best marks (46-698-6 receiving line) in 2021 while working with Sean Payton -- now Denver's head coach -- in New Orleans. For now, however, Callaway slots in behind Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick on his new team's wideout depth chart. The 24-year-old gives the Broncos added depth within the position group in the event that KJ Hamler (pectoral) isn't ready for game action early on this upcoming season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Callaway finished the 2021 season with 46 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns, all career highs for the 24-year-old wideout. The 6-2, 204-pounder enters the 2022 campaign facing an uphill battle for targets as the No. 4 option in the wide receiver pecking order, at best, behind Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave. However, if Callaway can carry some big-play momentum over from last year, he could earn himself a role as a deep threat in the Saints offense.
An eight-catch, 75-yard performance Week 7 put Callaway on the map in fantasy circles in 2020. However, that outing turned out to be an outlier for the undrafted rookie, and Callaway ultimately finished his inaugural season with 21 catches on 27 targets for 213 yards and no scores. Moreover, his mark of 10.1 yards per catch isn't favorable for a player who is considered to be a one-trick pony as a deep threat. However, not only will the offseason departure of Emmanuel Sanders open snaps for Callaway, but New Orleans made almost no significant offseason additions at wide receiver and Michael Thomas is expected to miss at least the first month of the upcoming season as he recovers from ankle surgery. The Tennessee product has a chance to open the season in the starting lineup, and he could even stay there once Thomas gets back, depending on how he performs relative to Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris.
