Saints WR Rashid Shaheed had the meniscus repaired in his knee today and will be out for the rest of the season. He will go on Injured Reserve and face a four to six month recovery.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos and likely longer. HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Shaheed is set for surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his knee. There's a “chance” he lands on IR, Allen added. We'll look for further details on Shaheed's timeline for return, but expect him to at least miss Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
Saints WRs Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. Olave has virtually no chance to clear protocol in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. We're still waiting for more information on Shaheed's knee injury, but he seems unlikely to play against Denver. Without their top two WRs, the Saints would be left with Bub Means, Mason Tipton, and Cedrick Wilson.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed is dealing with a knee injury that's "described as concerning," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It sounds like the team is still waiting for more info on the injury, but Shaheed does not have much time to get ready for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. New Orleans will very likely be without WR Chris Olave (concussion) for that one. We'll update Shaheed's status when we know more.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He got in just two limited practices this week but will play vs. the Bucs on Sunday. With QB Spencer Rattler at the helm, Shaheed projects as a volatile WR3.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He told the media afterward that his injury is minor and that he expects to play vs. the Bucs this weekend. We'll see how Shaheed is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. QB play from Spencer Rattler is just as big a concern as the hip for Shaheed's Week 6 fantasy value.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that QB Spencer Rattler will start this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. The fifth-round rookie boasts exciting arm talent but completed just 53% of his passes at 5.3 yards per attempt this preseason. He's not a Week 6 fantasy option and is a downgrade for New Orleans' pass catchers. Allen also said Wednesday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is "week to week" but won't go on IR.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. This could just be a rest day coming off the Monday nighter in Kansas City, but we'll update Shaheed's status again tomorrow. Assuming he plays vs. the Bucs this weekend, he'll be a shaky WR3 with QB Spencer Rattler at the controls.
Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
Saints QB Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He's scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday to get a better look at the damage. "Not good," Carr said when asked how he felt afterward.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed went without a catch in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 5 targets ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave. They constituted 20% of QB Derek Carr's total pass attempts. Carr and Shaheed narrowly missed connecting for a 40-yard TD in the first half. Shaheed also drew a 25-yard look that would have scored had it connected.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.
Another week, another long TD for Saints WR Rashid Shaheed. He scored from 70 yards out Sunday to power a team-leading 4-96-1 receiving day in a lopsided victory over the Cowboys. That followed his 59-yard TD amid a three-catch day in Week 1. Shaheed also carried three times against Dallas, though he turned them into just 13 yards.
Klint Kubiak is expected to be named the Saints' new OC, according to multiple reports. Kubiak is currently the 49ers' passing-game coordinator, so the move can't become official until after the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old son of Gary Kubiak has 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience. That includes serving as Vikings OC back in 2021. That team ranked 12th in total yards and 14th in points, ranking near the middle of the pack in run/pass split.
Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. WR Michael Thomas remains on IR, so New Orleans is down to WRs Rashid Shaheed, A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden, Keith Kirkwood, and Marquez Callaway. Shaheed is the best fantasy bet and has some exciting upside as a WR3 today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter both call Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) a game-time decision for today's meeting with the Giants. But Rapoport adds that "there is not a lot of optimism that he can go." That's not a surprise after Olave missed practice all week. With WR Michael Thomas still on IR, Olave's absence would leave Rashid Shaheed as the best fantasy bet in New Orleans' WR corps. A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden, Keith Kirkwood, and Marquez Callaway would round out the group. Olave's absence could also mean bigger roles for TE Taysom Hill and RB Alvin Kamara in the passing game. We've removed Olave from the Week 15 Rankings and updated Saints projections.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so he shouldn’t be limited in this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. Shaheed is an upside WR4 option and will get a boost if WR Chris Olave misses with his ankle injury.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. We'll keep you updated on Shaheed's status over the next few days.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Shaheed “has a chance” to return for next week’s game vs. the Giants. We’ll keep you updated on his status this coming week.
Saints insider Nick Underhill confirms that WR Rashid Shaheed (groin) will not play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. Shaheed's quad injury is "more serious than initially believed," Underhill adds. "Initially thought to be a contusion, a second opinion showed it is more serious." It sounds like there's a good chance that Shaheed misses more time beyond Week 14. He's droppable in most redraft fantasy leagues.
