2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mellott won the 2024 Walter Payton Award as a standout FCS quarterback before hearing his name called in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he'll transition to wide receiver while also competing for a special teams role as a return man for the Raiders. The athletic Montana State product boasts 4.39 speed and a 41-inch vertical at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, but he may not see many offensive snaps as a rookie behind the likes of Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton.

RANKS
Released by the Raiders in August of 2025.
Signs with New Orleans
The Saints signed Mellott to their practice squad Tuesday, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A college quarterback, Mellott was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 Draft by the Raiders and announced as a wide receiver. He failed to make Las Vegas' 53-man roster this summer and will now head to New Orleans, where Taysom Hill made a similar position switch with success. Mellott can continue to work on his development on the practice squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for versatile role
The Raiders view Mellott as a versatile option who can contribute as a receiver and on special teams, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mellott was a decorated quarterback at Montana State and capped his career by receiving the Walter Payton Award for most outstanding offensive player in the FCS in 2024. He won't remain a traditional quarterback in the NFL and is expected to become a slot receiver for the Raiders. Las Vegas isn't ready to commit to a specific role for Mellott, however, and he could also work as a returner or in coverage on special teams. The 2025 sixth-round pick could also serve as a passer on trick plays.
