Rashid Shaheed Injury Update
Shaheed (knee) is set to miss the rest of the 2024 season after undergoing surgery to repair his meniscus.
The Saints will have to adjust their offensive game plan without one of their most explosive players, and fantasy managers will need to look elsewhere for production as Shaheed recovers.

Rashid Shaheed Fantasy Football Outlook
Shaheed had emerged as a key playmaker for New Orleans with his speed and versatility, contributing both as a receiver and return specialist.
His absence leaves a notable void, forcing the team to turn to other players to fill the gap. Wide receivers Bub Means and Cedrick Wilson Jr. will likely see increased opportunities in the passing game, while tight end Juwan Johnson may be asked to take on a bigger role as well.
This loss will also place more pressure on the Saints’ remaining offensive weapons to step up and keep the team’s passing attack dynamic.
For Shaheed, his fantasy season has come to an end in 2024. The wide receiver is expected to make a full recovery and will be ready to go for the 2025 season.
