Rashid Shaheed Fantasy

New Orleans Saints second-year wide receiver Rashid Shaheed has lived off of big plays over the early portion of his career. He has had no shortage of them this season, keeping the former undrafted free agent on the fantasy radar. Shaheed has only been targeted ten times this season, but has a total of 163 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He has operated as both a deep threat and YAC receiver for Derek Carr and has been effective in his role. Shaheed can be started, but be cautious as he needs to rip off a big play to pay off.

New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Rashid Shaheed was targeted four times in the Monday night victory over the Carolina Panthers. Shaheed caught all four targets for 63 yards, with a majority of the yards coming on a late 45-yard bomb on the sideline from quarterback Derek Carr. While he was outpaced in targets by Chris Olave and Michael Thomas, Shaheed showcased elite efficiency yet again. He is a flex option going forward with boom-or-bust potential.

New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Rashid Shaheed broke out in Week 1 with a 5-89-1 line against the Tennessee Titans. Shaheed was highly efficient last year and continued to showcase his explosiveness in Week 1. Against Carolina in Week 2, Shaheed should see enough volume to create more efficient plays. He is in FLEX range this week and could be considered for starting lineups with a solid matchup.
