Jarvis Landry has not seen the field since Week 4, when he caught two passes in New Orleans’s loss to Minnesota in London. Chances are good he is available on waivers in many 12-team leagues, and he could be a helpful addition to Week 9 lineups as the bye weeks continue. The Saints take on the Ravens on Monday Night Football, so it could be a risk to wait for his status, but it could also pay big dividends against the poor Baltimore pass defense. Will Jarvis Landry play in Week 9? Here’s what we know.

Fantasy Impact
Landry is working to return from what has now been a four-game absence. If he’s able to play on Monday against the Ravens, the veteran could operate as the Saints’ No. 2 receiver behind standout rookie Chris Olave.

What the Experts are Saying
Landry has managed limited practices so far this week. Landry has a 15.2% target share and three deep targets in his four games played. If he can suit up, he’ll run about 80% of his routes against the weak link for Baltimore in Damarion Williams (71% catch rate, 129.2 passer rating). Landry will be a WR3/4 if he can make it back in Week 9.
