Saints WR Rashid Shaheed to undergo surgery, possibly missing the rest of the '24 season

Oct 16, 2024

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Related Players: Juwan Johnson, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Mason Tipton

Fantasy Impact:

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Jets WR Davante Adams is expected to play Week 7

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson returns to Wednesday practice

Dan Quinn said Brian Robinson will practice today. DE Dorance Armstrong will not practice today. Quinn also said they're hoping Javontae Jean-Baptiste's stay on IR will be short.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

Ekeler didn't do much with his heightened rushing opportunity last week, going 9-21-0, though he did add four catches for 47 yards, which saved his fantasy day. Both Robinson and Ekeler could be options if they're both at full health in Week 7, as they face off against a Panthers team that has been gashed everywhere and currently rank 32nd in RB aFPA.
