WR Rashid Shaheed, NO (1 Viewer)

Not sure how you can say this about a 3rd yr WR, who is in the midst of breaking out.
His second year stats are very similar to Tyreek Hill's first year stats. He's fast, he's electric. He's the next Hill.
We can all make claims. Is he the next Hill? Almost certainly not. But to call him a "perennial" anything is ridiculous as the guy is just beginning his third season. And if you can get him for less that he is worth then I suggest you do so. No one is trading him in my leagues.

I think Shaheed can be for real because not only has his role changed, the offense has changed DRASTICALLY. I'm sure all of you can seen the reviews of the Saints new O under Klint Kubiak (or "Koobs" as the cool kids like to call him) - decidedly more uptempo with motion concepts to put the D in a mismatch; that and the O-Line are working to help Derek Carr time and options.
With Michael Thomas gone a lot of target were vacated and with A.T. Perry seemingly unable to secure the 2nd WR opposite Chris Olave, Shaheed has grabbed the opportunity and ran with it. He's averaging a healthy 67.2% of the snaps so far, only 10 total snaps behind Olave. He's getting gadget run plays to take adavantage of his speed. He even can make an impact on special teams if you league uses those yards. So far he's been the perfect WR3/Flex play on your team, and he has upside to possibly grow into something more if the Saints O/Derek Carr isn't a mirage.

I only got him on one team, but the player I've added who's a lot like Shaheed is Alec Pierce. Watching the Colts offense from last week was rough. Guys losing their footing, the drops, unforced fumbling in the backfield, all stuff that can be corrected instantly. Perhaps even getting Richardson to look off defenders more often & taking advantage of soft or off-coverage looks. To the positive, Pierce consistently gets open, really like both of these downfield threats. ESPN has reported that Pittman is dealing with some minor injuries.

Not necessarily league winning, but a good high variance guy to be able to plug in when needed.

I predict 3 / 55 / 0TD. I have no shares, so I'll happily be wrong, but he's being way too overvalued especially by casuals.
I also have Philly beating New Orleans outright. The party ends this week.
People are acting like this guy is Tyreek Hill. He's good, but he probably had his best two game stretch of the season and now he's going to put up a string of duds, imo.

Sounds like you may be facing him today.

And cost me my week. Will never be in my lineup again.
I saw one and was underthrown and not catchable

Sorry my fault…I started him for the first time this year.

The Eagles kept turning the ball over instead of punting. And even got a punt blocked.

That’s…not the best company lol. Aside from D Jax of course but even he was a limited playerx.com

Thought the same thing initially. Ginn and Goodwin were never a top two wr option, Stills was going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread until he got hurt repeatedly. Djax, like Shaheed, was a top option in Philly.That’s…not the best company lol. Aside from D Jax of course but even he was a limited playerx.com
That’s really too bad. He’s one of my favorite players this year. Off to IR young man and you can serve my team better next year fully healthy.

I hate the circumstances, but as an Olave owner, this is helpful. Once healthy, Olave should see a significant uptick in targets.

He a legit pickup? I keep hearing his name and can’t tell if people are joking or not.

I'm one of those lucky guys who has Nico, Malik, and Shaheed on his roster. So sure it's a stab but Means did have 5 for 45 and a TD last time out. And they have to throw it to someone.

Well, this is quite a bummer. Not only do I like him as a player, but he had stepped up quite nicely on a team where I have Waddle. Now I am looking at Lockett, Waddle, or

This really chews cheese, Shaheed was providing me the production I was expecting from Lamb. I don't have the means to replace him.... wait, I get it now, you're right, it's code! As backups, who other than Means would Rattler have a rapport with? Catchy name, great smile & personable, how it's done! lol

Maybe for the season, but I wouldn't roll him out this week. Thursday game agaisnt Denver cornerbacks. I'm expecting Kamara for 65 touches with a sprinkle of T. Hill and J. Johnson.
Edit. Didn't know Surtain was out. Still would be hesitant without a second AR to take away coverage.

Can you start Bub over Worthy though? Who else are Saints going to throw it to more upside for targets in ppr league

I need a fix at my flex, I did place a claim for Pop Douglas but I didn't get him. I've moved Lazard & Alec Pierce for Means & Bateman... could be way off & I've always liked Lazard, big fan of Pierce's game too. But not this week. Bateman in what appears to be a good matchup, represents a floor play, the safer move.
Means has good size, but even better is his speed & catch radius with honking hands. Accordingly, a very good fit in Kubiak's version of the west coast offense. They had Rattler throw the ball 40 times last week. The guys they don't have up front they didn't have last week, they didn't run the ball very effectively, playing from behind & was sacked like 5 times. Below is a breakdown of Rattler's tape from last week.

I Mean, can you really call yourself as someone who likes fantasy football yet won't pick up and start Bubs?

Starting center and both starting guards, as well. AND two of interior linemen backing them up. Last weekend's starting center Connor McGovern -- picked up from the Jets' practice squad -- was the Saints' fourth so far this season.
Read similar and hope we know something by my next waiver runs but I did already cut him in one league. If it's 2 weeks, or even 4, I'm going to be sore about that cut.
From what I understand it's best for his long term recovery to get the full repair which would put him out for the season. That was on my mind when I decided to cut him. Considering the health and record of the team and him only being under contract for one more very cheap year I was inclined to think that might tilt the decision more to trying to protect his future. Of course he might be thinking of more then just what's best for him.

Home dog to Denver with a total of 37. Does not sound promising.

But this is the Broncos. Broncos offense is not TB and aren't likely to put up more than 24 points. Plus, DN defense is much better than TB. The Saints were down huge last week and had to throw the entire second half. Don't see that recipe unfolding tonight. Again, I dotn mind him for the season as long a Shaheed is out, but not tonight drawing whoever the #1 DB is.I need a fix at my flex, I did place a claim for Pop Douglas but I didn't get him.
