Shaheed will miss a minimum of four games but could be in line to miss more as the team learns about the severity of his injury. Head coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday that Shaheed would undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus but wouldn’t know the extent of the damage until later. Shaheed will be eligible to return in Week 11 against the Browns, but we’ll likely get a clearer timeline from the team in the coming days. The Saints wide receiver corps is in a tough spot with Shaheed and Chris Olave (concussion) now out for Week 7.

Shaheed is obviously out for Week 7 versus the Broncos and will miss a few more games if injured reserve is a possibility. With Chris Olave also out, the Saints are down to Bub Means as their top receiver. The rookie caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. He is worth adding as a potential WR4 in all fantasy formats.

Shahid is reportedly getting his knee checked to determine the severity of an injury he suffered in the fourth quarter, per Nick Underhill. He definitely appears to be trending towards being inactive for Thursday night. He may also be an IR candidate. Bub Means was New Orleans’ most-targeted receiver last game and may be a viable PPR scam on Thursday night with both Shaheed and Chris Olave likely out.
