BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not sure the Saints and quarterback Derek Carr can sustain three fantasy-relevant wide receivers, but Rashid Shaheed's Week 1 performance and the injury concerns that always accompany Michael Thomas mean that he should be on your radar.
