Moreno-Cooper reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.
Moreno-Cooper was elevated to provide additional depth at receiver as Barion Brown (hamstring) was inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Moreno-Cooper ended up playing exclusively on special teams and returned one kickoff for 22 yards. The 25-year-old could be elevated again for the Week 4 matchup versus the Falcons if Brown remains sidelined.

The Saints elevated Moreno-Cropper from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Moreno-Cropper is set for his first taste of regular-season action in 2026. The wide receiver is being elevated alongside Kevin Austin to supplement a Saints wide receiver corps now without Barion Brown (hamstring). With Week 3 marking Austin's third practice squad elevation, the Saints will be unable to utilize him in the future without signing him to the active roster. This predicament means Moreno-Cropper may be the go-to wide receiver elevation for Week 4 and Week 5 if the team likes his game-day performance in Week 3.

New Orleans signed Moreno-Cropper to its practice squad Monday.
Moreno-Cropper went unclaimed on waivers after the Saints cut him Sunday, and now he's back with the organization as a member of the practice squad. In three games with the Cowboys in 2025, he did not draw any targets, but he did contribute returning punts and kicks.

The Saints waived Moreno-Cropper on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Moreno-Cropper signed with the Saints in mid-June. The wide receiver was competing for a special-teams role and could not do quite enough to earn the nod over other receivers such as Barion Brown. Moreno-Cropper will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

Moreno-Cropper signed with the Saints on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The Fresno State product spent most of his 2025 campaign with the Cowboys' practice squad, but he's since found a new home in New Orleans. Moreno-Cropper appeared in four regular-season games during his two seasons in Dallas, recording 38 kick-return yards and 27 punt-return yards. He'll likely compete for a special-teams role as the offseason progresses.

Dallas signed Cropper to its practice squad Wednesday.
Cropper has been on the Cowboys' practice squad for most of the season. He was signed to the active roster ahead of this past Sunday's loss to Carolina but was subsequently waived Tuesday after logging one snap on offense and eight on special teams. Now that Cropper is back on Dallas' practice squad, he'll again look to be elevated for game days, though that's less likely to happen with fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) seemingly close to returning to action.

Verdexed board · 2026
| Format | Our rank | Market ADP | Value | Proj pts | Floor–Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPR | WR187 (#406) | undrafted | -99 | 103.8 | 12.7–133.5 |
| Half PPR | WR175 (#411) | undrafted | -99 | 86.1 | -5.0–115.8 |
| Standard | WR178 (#441) | undrafted | -101 | 68.0 | -23.1–97.7 |
“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.
Trade value: what to ask for Jalen
Our board has Jalen Cropper at WR187, #406 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 99 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #406, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #406. He projects to 103.8 points (floor 12.7, ceiling 133.5).
WRs in that range on our board right now: JuJu Smith-Schuster (#400, NYG), Dan Chisena (#401, CAR), Jared Wayne (#402, MIA), Kameron Johnson (#405, TB), Jacoby Jones (#410, WSH), Gunner Olszewski (#411, NYG).
