11 Players Adding Fantasy Football Value at Training Camp
Cameron Meredith and Tre'Quan Smith - New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees has historically done a great job spreading the football around to all his weapons. For 2018, it might just be newcomer Cameron Meredith and draft pick Tre'Quan Smith to round out the rotation if Smith can leapfrog Ted Ginn Jr.
Smith has looked good so far in camp.

While Smith in generating buzz, Meredith is the guy more likely to return value right away as he appears chiseled in for number-two duties behind Michael Thomas.
The Saints' WR competition has been a good sign early in training camp. Newly-signed free agent Cameron Meredith has been healthy, and rookie Tre'Quan Smith was the standout player of Saturday's practice ... https://t.co/I79rIpA1n9

Meredith is a great a late-round target who could find his way into your starting lineup early in the season, and Smith makes a ton of sense in best-ball formats. The Saints should be more pass heavy in 2018, especially in the first four weeks, and these two could be beneficiaries.
