Rashid Shaheed's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The New Orleans Saints listed wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) as DNPs on Monday's estimated injury report. The Saints have a quick turnaround in Week 7 and will face the Denver Broncos at home this Thursday night. It especially puts Olave's status up in the air given the fact that he'd need to pass through the league's concussion protocols very quickly in order to get the green light to play on Thursday. Fantasy managers should not be surprised at all if the 24-year-old sits out this week. With Shaheed also banged up, the Saints could be forced to use rookies Bub Means and Mason Tipton in expanded roles on Thursday alongside Cedrick Wilson Jr. Means took advantage in the Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers and had five catches on eight targets for 45 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the situation with Olave and Shaheed in the next few days.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed scored a 54-yard punt return touchdown in the team's 51-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A combination of poor angles, good blocking, and Shaheed's speed allowed the receiver to make his path to the end zone easy. Things did not go as smoothly as part of the offense, though. Shaheed was targeted seven times but had just one reception for 11 yards with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler filling in for the injured Derek Carr (oblique). Rattler showed the ability to make deeper passes intermittently throughout the game but his accuracy was maddingly inconsistent and Shaheed wound up paying the price. New Orleans will face the Denver Broncos' stingy secondary in Week 7. Rattler will draw another start but Shaheed will serve as the team's primary receiver as it is unlikely that Chris Olave (concussion) will clear the league's concussion protocol before the Thursday night matchup.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) was removed from Friday's injury report and will be active on Sunday in Week 6 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shaheed did not practice on Wednesday but returned to limited sessions on both Thursday and Friday. The 26-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season in 2024 and enters Week 6 as the No. 14 fantasy wideout in half-PPR scoring thanks to 19 receptions for 338 yards and three touchdowns. He has had some nice chemistry on the deep ball with quarterback Derek Carr (oblique), but with Carr likely out multiple weeks, Shaheed's fantasy value could take a big tumble while taking passes from rookie QB Spencer Rattler, who will be making his first start this weekend. Shaheed should be viewed as a much more volatile WR3/flex in Week 6.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) said that he will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times. Shaheed said, "I'll be all good. Just trying to take care of this hip. By the time game time comes around, I'll be alright." This is a great sign, as the 26-year-old was kept sidelined during Thursday's practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Friday's practice in case he faces a setback. Shaheed has eclipsed 15.0 PPR points in four out of five games this season and should be locked into all lineups as a WR3 with upside as he faces a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed the 24th-most points to opposing wideouts this season.UPDATE: Shaheed was limited in Thursday's practice.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. This is worth monitoring for fantasy managers as Shaheed has been excellent in 2024. Shaheed has 19 receptions for 338 yards and three touchdowns this season. That includes a game in which he recorded a zero in the box score. Veterans are often provided rest days on Wednesdays, especially if they have an existing ailment so this could be precautionary. However, fantasy managers will need to pay close attention to this situation leading up to the weekend.
