BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~162 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~236
ANALYSIS: Shaheed made waves with a 44-yard TD in his NFL debut during a Week 6 loss to the Bengals. He followed that up with a 53-yard TD catch in Week 7 as we started to wonder whether he was simply a big-play trick or if there was more here.
Unfortunately, he barely saw action over the next month before his role increased in Week 12. From then on, he’d see at least four opportunities per game. That doesn’t sound like a lot, and yet Shaheed was the WR35 in standard formats in that window. That slides to WR38 in half-PPR and WR39 in PPR, for disclosure’s sake.
We’re unlikely to see elite passing volume out of the Saints, but they brought on Derek Carr and should be more effective through the air. Everyone loves Chris Olave, so then you have to ask yourself how a healthy Michael Thomas would alter Shaheed’s role. Then consider the odds of MT staying healthy.
Right, so give me Shaheed at this cheap price point now that NO has an offseason to work his big-play potential into the plan rather than moving on the fly. And hope that teams are still silly enough to attempt zone coverage on such a dynamic player:
