Done in New Orleans
The Saints waived Ortiz on Sunday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ortiz appeared in one game with the Saints last season, but he wasn't able to stick with the team through training camp. He could receive some interest around the league as a reserve fullback.

Fullback in the Ravens' system has paid more fantasy dividends than most other teams in recent years thanks to Kyle Juszczyk, who cashed in during free agency following a 37-catch season in 2016. However, to just assume that Ortiz automatically inherits that type of production and role would be a complete oversight. Not only will Ortiz have to beat out Lorenzo Taliaferro for the fullback spot on the roster, but it's also worth noting that he doesn't have a comparable skill set to Juszczyk as a pass catcher. Ortiz will likely make his bones in the run game, but again, he'll need to hold off Taliaferro before playing time becomes a real topic of discussion for the rookie out of Oregon State.
