WR Rashid Shaheed drew a team-high nine targets in Sunday's loss to the Rams. That more than doubled the total for his nearest teammates (Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson tied at four). Shaheed also led all Saints in receptions (5) and receiving yards (68). That marked the third straight game in which Shaheed has garnered at least nine targets.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we never sensed any real concern about his status. Shaheed is a low-end WR3 in QB Tyler Shough’s first start.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) is expected to play vs. the Rams today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Shaheed was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, although we never sensed any concern about his availability for this one. Between the hip issue and QB Tyler Shough making his first start, though, Shaheed shapes up as a risky WR3 play today.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. HC Kellen Moore said Friday that Shaheed is “trending” to play. We’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get New Orleans’ inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.

Saints WR Chris Olave was the one shining spot of the Saints’ offense going 5-98-2 on 7 targets. He had the only scores of the entire day for the Saints who only mustered 14 points against the Bears. TE Juwan Johnson went 5-79-0 on seven targets while WR Rashid Shaheed led the team with nine targets only going 4-40-0.

The forecast for today's Saints-Bears game calls for winds of 15 mph with gusts around 30. That's enough to impact the passing and kicking games. We've made some projection docks to both passing games, although guys like QB Caleb Williams and WRs Rome Odunze and Chris Olave can remain in fantasy lineups. Avoid both kickers in this game. The over/under in this one has dropped from 46.5 to 44.5.

The New Orleans Saints have named Spencer Rattler as the team’s Week 1 starting QB, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson described new HC Kellen Moore's system as a "fast-break offense." Johnson added that he's "really excited" about the scheme.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed looks "completely recovered" from last year's season-ending knee injury, The Times-Picayune's Matthew Paras wrote from OTAs. Shaheed went down with a meniscus injury in October that required a full repair. He's now seven months removed from that surgery, which was expected to sideline him for 4-6 months.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.

The Saints have agreed to a deal with WR Brandin Cooks, according to NFL Network. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's a two-year deal worth $13 million. That's a surprising amount for the current version of Cooks. DeAndre Hopkins and Mike Williams, for example, each signed one-year deals worth about $6 million with their new teams this offseason.

According to multiple reports, the Saints are now set to officially hire Kellen Moore as their next HC. The move has been expected since before the Super Bowl. At 36, Moore will become the league's youngest HC, edging Seattle's Mike Macdonald (37 until late June). Moore, of course, spent 2024 as Eagles OC after one season as Chargers OC and four as Cowboys OC.

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.
