Greg

Camarillo

With Percy Harvin (illness) and E.J. Henderson active and Kevin Williams returning from suspension, the Vikings are at full strength heading into an early-season bout against the undefeated Lions.

Camarillo managed just 29 catches in two seasons with the Vikings after back-to-back 50-catch seasons in Miami before the 2010 trade for CB Benny Sapp. Turning 30 in April, Camarillo won’t draw much interest on the open market.

Percy Harvin, Devin Aromashodu and Camarillo are now Christian Ponder’s top three receivers. Camarillo has just four catches all year and will likely be the odd man out in a lot of two-wide sets. The only one we’re trusting here is Harvin, who is averaging 11.0 touches from scrimmage per game over the last three weeks.

He suffered the injury in Sunday’s loss to the Lions. Although Camarillo has seen an increase in snaps since Michael Jenkins landed on injured reserve, Devin Aromashodu ended up taking Jenkins’ spot in the starting lineup. Camarillo can be safely ignored in all formats.

He must have passed his baseline tests, which should give him clearance to play in Week 15. Camarillo isn’t a fantasy option as the Vikings’ third receiver.

The 30-year-old Camarillo is purely a possession receiver, but it’s still a bit surprising he lasted so long on the “street” free agent market. In New Orleans, he’ll vie for a roster spot behind Marques Colston and Lance Moore. Devery Henderson has disappointed, and Adrian Arrington and Nick Toon are hurt.

Now 34 with rapidly declining separation skills, Johnson’s off-field headaches far outweigh his on-field rewards. The Jets, who continue to give CB Antonio Cromartie reps at wideout, don’t want the baggage. Beat writer Rich Cimini suggests Greg Camarillo as a possible veteran addition at the receiver spot.

The Saints continue to shuffle things around on special teams. Camarillo appeared in two games for New Orleans earlier this season, but didn’t record a catch.

The Saints signed the veteran possession receiver two weeks ago to add depth while Devery Henderson recovered from a concussion. Now that Henderson is healthy, Camarillo is out of a job.

The addition of Camarillo suggests some level of concern over the status of Devery Henderson, who left the Week 1 game with a head injury. Camarillo would be no better than the fifth option in the passing game if he’s active this week.
