Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Four grabs in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Shaheed caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-19 loss to the Patriots.
The speedy wideout has caught exactly four passes in five straight games, but Sunday's yardage total was his lowest of the season. Shaheed remains dependent on deep throws for significant fantasy value, but with Spencer Rattler getting more confident and comfortable in coach Kellen Moore's offense, connections like last week's 87-yard TD could become more frequent. Shaheed may have a better chance of making an impact in Week 7 against the Bears.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Week 6 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Shaheed is not much different than Tre Tucker, they are both boom/bust WR3s, though Shaheed may have a slightly higher floor. This week I slightly favor Tucker because he has a better matchup and his team has a higher implied point total. Even if you don't need to start them this week these are bye week replacements I would like to have on my roster when we get to weeks with more guys on bye.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Shaheed finally had a big play in Week 5 against the Giants with an 87-yard touchdown catch, and he finished the game with four catches for 114 yards and the score on five targets. He's been at six targets or less in four games in a row and finished with exactly four receptions in each outing. And, prior to Week 5, his best game of the season was 52 yards in Week 2 against San Francisco. That said, Shaheed is always capable of one big play, and he should be considered a boom-or-bust No. 3 Fantasy receiver heading into Week 6 against New England. He's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Torches Giants for long TD
Rotowire
Shaheed caught four of five targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.
Most of that production came on a single play -- an 87-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that Shaheed took to the house. The fourth-year wideout hadn't exceeded 52 receiving yards in a game this year prior to Sunday, and second-year QB Spencer Rattler may not be able to find his deep threat so easily against more competent secondaries, but it was still an encouraging sign for Shaheed and the Saints' aerial attack. He'll look for another big play or two in Week 6 against the Patriots.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Totals 52 yards Week 4
Rotowire
Shaheed recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 47 yards during Sunday's 31-19 defeat versus the Bills. He added two rushing attempts for five yards.
Shaheed caught exactly four passes for the third week in a row. He tied for second on the Saints in targets Sunday, and he's now logged between five and six targets in each of the last three contests. The 26-year-old speedster has just one catch over 20 yards so far this season, but his consistent target share provides a solid floor for deeper leagues in PPR formats. Shaheed will look to maintain his WR2 role behind Chris Olave during New Orleans' next game versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Gains 42 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Shaheed brought in four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle.
Shaheed finished third in targets, receptions and yardage for the Saints in a one-sided affair Sunday. The 26-year-old has proven to be a solid fantasy option for those in deeper formats, averaging 4.7 receptions and 42.3 yards through three weeks. Expect Shaheed to continue providing a solid floor as New Orleans' No. 2 receiver in a road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Shaheed is off to a good start so far through two games with 10 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets, and he seems to have a solid rapport with Spencer Rattler. Shaheed has now scored at least 15.2 PPR points in five of his past eight games going back to last season, and he has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues when healthy. He's worth adding for up to 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Finds end zone against Niners
Rotowire
Shaheed caught four of five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.
The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of Spencer Rattler's second of three TD passes on the day, a three-yard strike in the third quarter. Shaheed has had a respectable start to the season in new head coach Kellen Moore's scheme, posting a 10-85-1 line on 14 targets through two games as the WR2 behind Chris Olave. Shaheed will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm sure the Saints don't want to see Spencer Rattler throwing it 46 times like he did in Week 1 against Arizona, but that will be good for Chris Olave, Shaheed, Juwan Johnson and hopefully Alvin Kamara. For Shaheed, he had nine targets and finished with six catches for 33 yards against the Cardinals. Olave led the way with 13 targets, but he also briefly left the game with a chest injury, so keep in mind he has an injury track record to monitor, which could benefit Shaheed. He could eventually become a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues, and I would add Shaheed for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Two grabs in preseason finale
Rotowire
Shaheed brought in two of three targets of 14 yards in the Saints' 28-19 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday afternoon.
Shaheed took the field for the Saints' first three possessions with Spencer Rattler as his quarterback and recorded multiple grabs for the second straight preseason contest. The speedy Weber State product should once again serve as one of the Saints' most potent downfield weapons in 2025, although working with either Rattler and the even more inexperienced Tyler Shough could certainly cap Shaheed's upside somewhat.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Three catches in preseason tie
Rotowire
Shaheed caught all three of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Jaguars.
Shaheed suited up for his first game action since Week 6 of last season, when he tore the meniscus in his knee. He got the start at wide receiver opposite Chris Olave, and they combined for five first-half catches on passes from rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough. The Saints have yet to settle on a starting quarterback between Shough and Spencer Rattler heading into their third and final game of the preseason Saturday against the Broncos.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Sits out preseason opener
Rotowire
Shaheed did not play in Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Shaheed was in uniform and warming up with the Saints' starters pregame, but he ultimately stayed on the sideline during Sunday's loss. He and Chris Olave (ankle) are the two wideouts who are guaranteed to have a starting spot for the Saints when healthy this season, so it's unlikely that either player will need to play much this preseason. The next opportunity for Shaheed and Olave to suit up this preseason will come versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Not in line to play Sunday
Rotowire
Shaheed is not participating in pregame warmups and is not expected to play against the Chargers on Sunday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The Saints will be without their top wideouts in Shaheed and Chris Olave (ankle), which leaves Brandin Cooks, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton as the top wide receivers for QB Spencer Rattler, who will start in Sunday's preseason opener. Shaheed doesn't appear to be nursing an injury, and his next chance to play will be next Sunday against the Jaguars.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Adds weight over offseason
Rotowire
Shaheed reported to training camp this week at 190 pounds, Erin Summers of the Saints' official website reports.
Shaheed was listed at 180 pounds last season but said Thursday that he put on weight in order to hold up better against contact. Shaheed insists he didn't lose any of his speed despite the additional 10 pounds. New Orleans' quarterback situation is a tough one, but Shaheed is locked into two-WR sets alongside Chris Olave and has the ability to take any catch to the end zone. He's an exciting target in best ball fantasy drafts and was fantasy's WR27 in half-PPR points per game before going down with a knee injury in Week 6 last season.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Out for season
Rotowire
Shaheed underwent a full repair of his meniscus Thursday and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, ruling him out for at least four games. But not long after, Schefter reported that Shaheed's recovery timeline will be 4-to-6 months. Shaheed thus will turn his focus to getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. With Chris Olave (concussion) out Thursday against the Broncos, New Orleans' receiving corps will be composed of Mason Tipton, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jermaine Jackson.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Goes on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Saints placed Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Shaheed thus will miss at least the next four games, but the meniscus surgery that he's undergoing Thursday in Los Angeles ultimately will determine if he has a chance to return to the Saints' active roster this season. If he ends up having a full repair, he'll be out for the rest of the campaign.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Meniscus surgery on tap
Rotowire
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Shaheed (knee) is slated to undergo surgery to address a meniscus injury and may be placed on injured reserve, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Shaheed thus will join Chris Olave (concussion) as out for Week 7 action, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the former's procedure will determine if he misses multiple weeks or even the rest of the campaign. With their top two wide receivers sidelined for at least Thursday's contest, the Saints will turn to Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means at the position, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and Jermaine Jackson are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Getting knee checked out
Rotowire
Shaheed, who was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, is getting his knee checked out to determine the severity of the injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Per Underhill, there's some concern Shaheed could miss time, but more will be known in that regard after the wideout's knee gets evaluated further. With Chris Olave dealing with a concussion, the status of the Saints' top WRs is a concern for the team ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. If neither of them are able to face Denver, added opportunities would be available for Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means (hand).

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: DNP on Monday's estimate
Rotowire
Shaheed (knee) was a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Neither Shaheed nor Chris Olave (concussion) would have practiced had the Saints held drills Monday, which is a significant development with Thursday's game against the Saints right around the corner. Shaheed added to his outstanding start to the season with a punt return touchdown in Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers, but he caught only one of seven targets from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is in line for another start in place of Derek Carr (oblique). Bub Means (hand) was a full participant on Monday's estimate, while Cedrick Wilson (ankle) was limited.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Spotted Thursday
Rotowire
Shaheed (hip) was seen during the team stretch prior to Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Having said that, Shaheed then left the field, indicating he's poised for a second straight absence to kick off Week 6 prep. His activity level, or lack thereof, will be known once the Saints post their next practice report later Thursday.
