BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Saints will be without quarterback Derek Carr this week, instead turning to rookie Spencer Rattler to make his NFL debut. That introduces a ton of uncertainty into the outlook for the entire Saints offense.
Rashid Shaheed has played really well this season outside of one complete stinker against the Eagles. He has 73 or more receiving yards in the other four games and has found the end zone three times already this season.
“Derek Carr is expected to miss multiple games with an oblique injury he suffered against the Chiefs.”

Shaheed's big-play upside can't be ignored, especially with an appealing Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers on deck. However, Rattler starting at quarterback gives Shaheed a low floor, so fantasy managers who are playing him this weekend should temper their expectations.
Consider Shaheed to be a WR3 with a high ceiling but also a very low floor as well.
