The New Orleans Saints will face the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Rashid Shaheed.
Is Rashid Shaheed Playing in Week 7?
Week 7 Status: OUT
Although Rashid Shaheed played 80% of the Saints’ offensive snaps and garnered seven targets in Week 6, that will be the last we see of him this season. Shaheed underwent meniscus surgery on Wednesday, and it was determined he’ll need a multi-month recovery that takes him out of commission the rest of the season.
It’s an unfortunate end to a promising season for Shaheed, who had 20 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns in just six games. His 17.4 yards per catch average ranked fifth-highest in the NFL through six weeks.
For Thursday, fellow starting WR Chris Olave (concussion) won’t play, either. Spencer Rattler will have to lean on rookies Bub Means, Mason Tipton, and journeyman Cedrick Wilson Jr. as his primary receivers against Denver.
