Out for season
Shaheed underwent a full repair of his meniscus Thursday and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, ruling him out for at least four games. But not long after, Schefter reported that Shaheed's recovery timeline will be 4-to-6 months. Shaheed thus will turn his focus to getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. With Chris Olave (concussion) out Thursday against the Broncos, New Orleans' receiving corps will be composed of Mason Tipton, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jermaine Jackson.

Goes on injured reserve
The Saints placed Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shaheed thus will miss at least the next four games, but the meniscus surgery that he's undergoing Thursday in Los Angeles ultimately will determine if he has a chance to return to the Saints' active roster this season. If he ends up having a full repair, he'll be out for the rest of the campaign.

Meniscus surgery on tap
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Shaheed (knee) is slated to undergo surgery to address a meniscus injury and may be placed on injured reserve, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed thus will join Chris Olave (concussion) as out for Week 7 action, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the former's procedure will determine if he misses multiple weeks or even the rest of the campaign. With their top two wide receivers sidelined for at least Thursday's contest, the Saints will turn to Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means at the position, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and Jermaine Jackson are candidates to be elevated from the…read more

Remains absent from practice
Shaheed (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed will likely need to log some activity at Wednesday's practice to have a chance at playing Thursday against the Broncos. The Saints will likely have a depleted receiving corps versus Denver, as Chris Olave (concussion) didn't practice Tuesday either and appears unlikely to be available Thursday.

Getting knee checked out
Shaheed, who was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, is getting his knee checked out to determine the severity of the injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Per Underhill, there's some concern Shaheed could miss time, but more will be known in that regard after the wideout's knee gets evaluated further. With Chris Olave dealing with a concussion, the status of the Saints' top WRs is a concern for the team ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. If neither of them are able to face Denver, added opportunities would be available for Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means (hand).

DNP on Monday's estimate
Shaheed (knee) was a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Neither Shaheed nor Chris Olave (concussion) would have practiced had the Saints held drills Monday, which is a significant development with Thursday's game against the Saints right around the corner. Shaheed added to his outstanding start to the season with a punt return touchdown in Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers, but he caught only one of seven targets from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is in line for another start in place of Derek Carr (oblique). Bub Means (hand) was a…read more

Scores TD on special teams
Shaheed brought in one of seven targets for 11 yards, rushed once for two yards, returned one kickoff for 25 yards and ran back two punts for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Shaheed and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler could barely connect during the latter's first taste of NFL action, with the speedy wideout's robust target tally going almost completely for naught. However, Shaheed still found a way to contribute for fantasy managers in leagues that factor in return production, as he put together an impressive return on his kickoff runback and then rattled off a 54-yard punt-return touchdown early in the second quarter for New Orleans' first trip to the end zone…read more

Avoids injury designation
Shaheed (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed was a limited participant Thursday and Friday, after being listed as questionable on Wednesday's practice estimate. Avoiding an injury designation suggests he's expected to occupy his usual role, but that may prove less fruitful for fantasy managers with rookie Spencer Rattler replacing an injured Derek Carr (oblique) under center.

Logs limited practice Thursday
Shaheed (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Shaheed made a brief appearance at the media-access portion of Thursday's session, but it was enough for him to go down as limited after opening Week 6 prep with a DNP. He told Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football on Thursday that his hip injury is "minor," and he expects to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Nonetheless, Shaheed may enter the weekend with a game designation, something that will be revealed, one way or another, on Friday's practice report.

Spotted Thursday
Shaheed (hip) was seen during the team stretch prior to Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Analysis: Having said that, Shaheed then left the field, indicating he's poised for a second straight absence to kick off Week 6 prep. His activity level, or lack thereof, will be known once the Saints post their next practice report later Thursday.

Tending to hip issue
Shaheed was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hip injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Aside from getting blanked on five targets Week 3 against the Eagles, Shaheed has surpassed 73 yards from scrimmage in the other four games while scoring three touchdowns. With a health concern now affecting his practice reps, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Leading receiver in loss
Shaheed had four receptions (on nine targets) for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Shaheed made his mark on Monday Night Football when he dove to make an incredible catch for a touchdown on a 43-yard bomb from the arm of Derek Carr (oblique). The 25-year-old Shaheed has sandwiched a Week 3 dud with a pair of strong fantasy performances through five games this season. Assuming his starting quarterback is healthy, Shaheed makes for a fine fantasy play against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Just short of 100 scrimmage yards
Shaheed caught eight of 11 targets for 83 yards and added 14 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The speedster posted nearly identical numbers through the air as Chris Olave (8-87-0 on 10 targets), but no one Saints wideout or tight end managed more than 13 receiving yards. It was an impressive bounce-back effort as a receiver from Shaheed after he was held without a catch the week before, and Sunday's receptions and targets were both season highs for him. The performance was marred by a muffed punt that led to an Atlanta fumble recovery TD in the first quarter, however. The Saints' narrow…read more

Held without catch Sunday
Shaheed didn't log any receptions on five targets during Sunday's 15-12 defeat to the Eagles.
Analysis: Shaheed failed to connect with quarterback Derek Carr after the two linked up for touchdowns of 59 and 70 yards in the first two games of the season. The 26-year-old's target share didn't take any sort of dip Sunday. Instead, the Saints' offense finally hit its first snag after back-to-back blowout wins to start the season. Carr completed just 14 of 25 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown with one interception. The game-ending interception came when Carr targeted Shaheed on an ill-advised…read more

Brings in another long score
Shaheed caught all four of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys. He added 13 rushing yards on three carries.
Analysis: The third-year wideout has been Derek Carr's most dangerous downfield weapon to begin the season, and Shaheed's 70-yard TD catch in the first quarter Sunday set the tone for another huge performance by the Saints' offense under new coordinator Klint Kubiak. Shaheed already has two touchdowns of 50 or more yards through two games in 2024, and he'll look to give the Philadelphia secondary more than it can handle in Week 3.

Hauls in long TD in win
Shaheed caught three of five targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The third-year wideout was on the other end of a 59-yard TD pass from Derek Carr in the first quarter, accounting for most of his team high in receiving yards. Shaheed was expected to assume a bigger role in the Saints' offense this year under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and the early returns were excellent. Shaheed will take on a much stingier secondary in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Avoids injury report
Shaheed (toe/foot) wasn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: After tending to hamstring tightness in the first two weeks of August, Shaheed has been managing a toe/foot injury since then. Both head coach Dennis Allen and Shaheed himself expressed optimism about the third-year wideout being available for Week 1. Now that his status is confirmed ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Panthers, Shaheed will be looking to improve upon his 46-719-5 receiving line over 15 appearances in 2023.

Feels ready for regular season
Shaheed (toe/foot) returned to practice this week and said he "didn't lose a step" despite missing a substantial portion of training camp, Darrion Gray of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Shaheed said "I stayed on top of everything that I needed to throughout the rehab process," indicating that he'll be fully up to speed with New Orleans' offense Week 1 versus the Panthers. It remains to be seen whether Shaheed has yet resumed practicing in full, but it seems like the third-year pro is on track to play in the Saints' regular-season opener on Sept. 8. Shaheed looks primed for a crucial role behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave, but he could be deployed somewhat differently this…read more

Spotted at practice
Shaheed (toe) was present for practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the extent of his participation is unclear, Shaheed's presence in any capacity is a good sign for the Saints with 11 days to go before their season opener against Carolina. He's dealt with a toe/foot injury for the past couple weeks, after missing time with a hamstring injury early in training camp.

Should be fine for Week 1
The Saints expect Shaheed (toe) to be ready for Week 1 against Carolina, Brandon Thomas of New Orleans Football Network reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed most of training camp and the preseason, first dealing with a hamstring injury and now a toe issue. He excelled as a return specialist and deep threat during his first two NFL seasons, but his role may be different under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, especially because the Saints lack wideout talent behind No. 1 receiver Chris Olave. Possibilities for 2024 include Shaheed getting more short/intermediate targets and/or fewer touches on special teams.

Remains out for preseason finale
Shaheed (toe/foot) did not play in Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Shaheed's absence did not come as a surprise after he missed the team's previous exhibition with an unspecified toe/foot injury. Even if he were healthy, it's likely that the 6-foot speedster would not have played Sunday, as the vast majority of New Orleans' starters also sat out. Saints coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Shaheed to be out long with this injury. The soon-to-be 26-year-old logged career highs with 46 catches for 719 yards and five scores across 15…read more

Shouldn't miss extended time
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Shaheed's toe/foot injury will keep him out for long, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed a week and a half of training camp earlier in August with a hamstring injury and has now been out since Friday due to the lower-body injury. Johnson reports that Shaheed's injury isn't turf toe, and while Allen's assessment is encouraging for the wideout's Week 1 availability, it would be surprising if he plays in Sunday's preseason finale against the Titans.

Sitting Sunday against San Fran
Shaheed (toe/foot) isn't taking the field for Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed will unsurprisingly sit out Sunday's exhibition contest after missing practice Friday due to a health concern. The wide receiver and return specialist has had an injury-riddled training camp, having previously dealt with a hamstring issue. Shaheed still has three weeks to recover before the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Panthers, and he'll have an opportunity to suit up before then for the Aug. 25 preseason finale against the Titans.

Shaheed (toe/foot) is not practicing Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed is dealing with a new toe/foot injury, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. After missing the Saints' preseason opener last week due to a hamstring issue, Shaheed's status now looks uncertain for Sunday's exhibition contest against San Francisco. On a positive note for New Orleans, A.T. Perry (ankle) returned as a limited participant Friday.

Sheds non-contact jersey
Shaheed (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed New Orleans' preseason opener last week due to a hamstring injury sustained Aug. 3, but he now looks to be back to full health. He could be an option to play in Sunday's exhibition contest against the 49ers, assuming the Saints' regular starters take the field. Shaheed is primed for a key role on offense this season, both as New Orleans' primary punt and kick returner and as the No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave.

Back at practice
Shaheed (hamstring) donned a red non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed was sidelined by a tight hamstring Aug. 3, which kept him from suiting up for this past Saturday's preseason contest at Arizona. Tuesday's development marks his first visible on-field activity since then, but he will need to ditch the non-contact jersey before he gains clearance for game action, which could come as early as this Sunday in San Francisco.

Sidelined by hamstring issue
Shaheed missed practice Saturday due to hamstring tightness, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Dennis Allen didn't seem overly concerned about the injury, which was characterized as hamstring tightness, saying that the team hopes to get Shaheed back on the field Sunday. The wideout is slated to be an important player for the Saints during the coming season, as he's expected to again work as the team's lead kick and punt returner in addition to functioning as the No. 2 receiver.

Gets extension from Saints
Shaheed and New Orleans agreed to a one-year, $5.2 million contract extension Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Shaheed earned the extension partly due to his work as a punt returner after he garnered his first career All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections as a special-teamer last season. The 25-year-old also showed growth as a wide receiver, finishing with 46 catches for 719 yards and five touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests, eight of which he started. Shahid should get the opportunity to further develop in that role during the upcoming campaign, as he's slated to work as the Saints' No. 2 receiving…read more

Set up nicely for WR2 role
Shaheed is in an excellent position for a starting job after the Saints waited until the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft to select a wide receiver, taking Bub Means at No. 170 overall.
Analysis: Shaheed worked his way into a starting role as an undrafted rookie in the second half of 2022, and he then entered 2023 as the Saints' No. 3 receiver behind Chris Olave and Michael Thomas. While Thomas missed the final seven games of last season with an injury, Shaheed dealt with an injury of his own during that stretch and never really progressed to a full starter's workload. With Thomas gone and not replaced, Shaheed is in better position than ever before to pile up snaps/routes/targets,…read more

Under contract for 2024
The Saints recently tendered Shaheed a one-year, $985,000 contract, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: The decision to bring Shaheed back at less than $1 million for the upcoming season was a no-brainer for the Saints after the Weber State product proved to be a dependable deep-ball complement to No. 1 wideout Chris Olave in 2023. Shaheed appeared in 15 games this past season, accruing 46 catches for 719 yards and five touchdowns on 75 targets while also carrying seven times for 37 yards. The 25-year-old also was a dynamic weapon on special teams, bringing back 25 punts for 339 yards and a…read more

Records TD in season finale
Shaheed brought in three of four targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 18 yards.
Analysis: Shaheed set the pace in receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets and for second in receptions. The second-year speedster enjoyed a breakout season on offense, with Sunday's production leaving his final 2023 line at a solid 46-719-5 over 15 games alongside 37 rushing yards and 723 return yards. With Michael Thomas (IR-knee) very likely on his way out of New Orleans, Shaheed could have a solid chance of securing the No. 2 receiver role in training camp this coming summer.

Quiet outing in divisional win
Shaheed reeled in two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 23-13 win against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Shaheed logged one of his least productive receiving performances of the season, including tying for his second-fewest targets of any game this season. Unlike most contests this season, the 6-foot speedster didn't see any targets on deep passes. Instead, he fulfilled his usual role as a slot receiver who catches passes at or near the line of scrimmage. Meanwhile, quarterback Derek Carr was locked in on Juwan Johnson, targeting the big-bodied tight end on 12 of his 32 passing attempts Sunday.…read more

Scores TD in Week 16 loss
Shaheed secured five of nine targets for 70 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for four yards in the Saints' 30-22 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: The speedy second-year pro tied with Alvin Kamara for second in receptions on the night while serving as the runner-up in yardage as well. Shaheed hit pay dirt from 45 yards late in the first half, his first score since Week 8. His yardage total also was his best since that same contest, but it's worth noting the Weber State product recorded only 25 yards on his other four receptions outside of the touchdown.

Three catches in return
Shaheed (thigh) caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Shaheed returned from a two-game absence while Chris Olave (ankle) joined Michael Thomas (knee) on the sidelines. Shaheed's 36 receiving yards led all Saints wide receivers, but two of Derek Carr's three touchdown passes went to tight ends, and Keith Kirkwood scored the team's only touchdown by a wideout. After getting through the game without a setback to his injured thigh, Shaheed could see his role grow Thursday against the Rams, especially if Olave and Thomas remain unavailable.

Ready for Sunday
Shaheed (thigh) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed the last two games due to a thigh injury, and while he opened Week 15 prep with back-to-back capped sessions, he ended it with a full practice Friday, paving the way for his first appearance since Week 12. Fellow wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) is questionable for Sunday after failing to practice all week, so if he's inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Shaheed would be poised for an elevated role in the Saints' passing attack.

Shaheed (thigh) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Shaheed is officially listed as questionable, but he didn't practice in any capacity this week while he continues to tend to the thigh injury that knocked him out early in a Week 12 loss to Atlanta and caused him to miss last Sunday's loss to Detroit. Though he'll sit out a second straight contest Sunday, Shaheed will have a chance to return Week 15 versus the Giants, per Schefter. Meanwhile, top wideout Chris Olave (illness) is expected to suit up against Carolina, leaving A.T. Perry, Lynn…read more

Questionable despite not practicing
Shaheed (thigh) didn't practice at all this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed didn't practice or play last week and was ruled out on the Saints' final injury report. The questionable designation for Week 14 can be taken as a sign of progress, though Shaheed still seems more likely than not to be declared inactive ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Another Shaheed absence this weekend would be especially problematic if Chris Olave (illness) -- also listed as questionable -- isn't able to play through a bout with the flu or is only a shadow of his usual…read more

Spectator for Thursday's practice
Shaheed (thigh) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed hasn't practiced in any fashion since exiting the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons with a thigh injury, putting him at risk of missing a second straight game Sunday against the Panthers if he's unable to get back on the field in some capacity Friday during the team's final Week 14 session. Elsewhere in the Saints' receiver room, top option Chris Olave was missing from practice Thursday, though his absence was due to an illness rather than an injury. Olave thus appears likely to be…read more

Remains sidelined Wednesday
Shaheed (thigh) didn't practice Wednesday, Brooke Kirchhofer of New Orleans Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed this past Sunday's loss to the Lions after injuring his thigh in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons. He hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury, but the speedy receiver and kick returner still has two more chances to return to the field before the Saints host the Panthers on Sunday. With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, Shaheed could be in store for a larger role on offense if he's able to recover from his thigh injury.

Not playing Sunday
Shaheed (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: During this past Sunday's loss in Atlanta, Shaheed left the game and wasn't able to return due to what was termed a thigh injury. It was reclassified as a quadriceps issue Monday, and he proceeded to miss all three practices during Week 13 prep and won't play this weekend. With one question mark out of the way, the Saints are waiting on Chris Olave (concussion) to gain clearance from an independent neurologist. Whether or not Olave is active Sunday remains to be seen, but A.T. Perry, Lynn…read more

Doesn't practice Thursday
Shaheed (thigh) didn't participate at Thursday's practice, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Shaheed has opened Week 13 prep with back-to-back DNPs due to the quadriceps injury that he suffered this past Sunday in Atlanta. He'll thus have only one more chance for on-field work this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions. With Chris Olave also embedded in the concussion protocol and Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, New Orleans' healthy wide receivers on the active roster are A.T.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Shaheed (thigh) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Shaheed was injured during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Falcons and never ended up returning, with Chris Olave (concussion) getting ruled out not long after. Olave at least managed a limited practice Wednesday, and while an earlier report indicated that Shaheed is day-to-day, there's still a decent chance the Saints enter Sunday's game against the Lions without Shaheed, Olave and Michael Thomas (knee). A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden and Keith Kirkwood were the team's top three receivers…read more

Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) participated in individual drills. With Olave and Shaheed banged up and Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden and Keith Kirkwood are the healthy wide receivers on the Saints' active roster.

Considered day-to-day
Shaheed is viewed as day-to-day with a quad injury he suffered in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football indicated that Shaheed will likely be unavailable this week, but it sounds like the speedy wideout and return man avoided a serious injury. The Saints host the Lions on Sunday. Shaheed, Chris Olave (concussion) and Michael Thomas (knee, IR) are all dinged up. As a result, New Orleans could be diving deep into its wideout depth chart.

Unlikely to return Sunday
Shaheed (thigh) is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game at Atlanta, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, Chris Olave and Shaheed are the Saints' top two wide receivers, but both have made early departures from Week 12 action. The door at least has been left ajar for Shaheed to return, while Olave suffered a concussion and will be subject to the protocol for head injuries moving forward. If Shaheed remains on the sideline, he'll end Sunday with two catches (on five targets) and one punt return for six yards.

Iffy to return Sunday
Shaheed is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a thigh injury.
Analysis: Shaheed was targeted five times in the first two quarters and recorded two catches for nine yards, but he appeared to sustain the thigh injury early in the contest and had it flare up once he checked back into the game. According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Shaheed threw his helmet on the ground in frustration shortly before he headed to the locker room late in the second quarter, so he could be at risk of being downgraded to out for the second half. If Shaheed is done for the day, it…read more

Limited to short gains
Shaheed recorded five receptions on nine targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Shaheed typically sees only a few opportunities per game as a deep threat, though that wasn't the case against the Vikings. Instead, he was bumped up the depth chart after Michael Thomas (knee) suffered an injury early in the game and was limited to short areas of the field. It's unclear how serious Thomas' knee injury is, but Shaheed and A.T. Perry look to be the next in line for more targets should Thomas miss time.

Catches three short passes Sunday
Shaheed reeled in all three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 24-17 victory against the Bears.
Analysis: Shaheed was targeted on three short passes by Derek Carr on Sunday. As a result, the 24-year-old wideout's longest play from scrimmage was a 12-yard reception early in the fourth quarter. The speedster's fantasy production is heavily tied to his explosiveness after the catch and as a downfield receiving threat. But New Orleans' passing offense has once again been limited this season despite the addition of Carr, as the 32-year-old is averaging just 6.7 yards per attempt through nine games.…read more

Tallies another long score Week 8
Shaheed caught all three of his targets for 153 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 38-27 win against the Colts.
Analysis: Shaheed connected with quarterback Derek Carr on two long balls, including a season-long 58-yard touchdown pass that he caught in stride before gliding into the end zone in the second quarter. The 25-year-old speedster also recorded a 51-yard catch deep down the left side of the field in the fourth quarter. Shaheed has now accounted for the Saints' three longest plays from scrimmage this season, and he has logged a 25-yard-plus reception in five of eight games. With 23 receptions on 38 targets…read more

Totals 31 yards in loss
Shaheed hauled in four of eight targets for 28 yards and logged one rushing attempt for four yards during Thursday's 31-24 defeat to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Shaheed logged a season high in targets, finishing third on the team behind top wideout Chris Olave (15) and running back Alvin Kamara (14). The 6-foot Shaheed has primarily been used on short crossing routes and deep passes that are meant to give him an opportunity for yards after the catch, and he's averaged 16.3 yards per reception. However, he didn't manage to connect on any deep passes from Saints quarterback Derek Carr, who set a new campaign best in passing attempts (55) for the second…read more

Snags touchdown pass in loss
Shaheed accrued two receptions (on six targets) for 85 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 20-13 loss versus the Texans.
Analysis: Shaheed showed up for his first significant impact since the season opener against Tennessee. The 6-foot speedster has continually served as New Orleans' top deep threat so far this season, and both of his receptions came on deep passes Sunday. This included the team's lone receiving touchdown with a 34-yard pass down the middle of the field, as well as the team's longest play from scrimmage, a 51-yard pass from Derek Carr on a first-down shot midway through the fourth quarter. Shaheed also got…read more

Shaheed gathered in both of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-0 victory versus New England.
Analysis: Shaheed matched his season low for targets during this wire-to-wire blowout for New Orleans. The second-year wideout still finished with the third-most receiving yards for the Saints behind wideout Michael Thomas (65) and running back Kendre Miller (53). Shaheed's biggest impact ultimately came as a returner on special teams, logging 22 yards on three punts to go along with three fair catches.

Modest outing in loss
Shaheed gathered in three of seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 26-9 defeat against the Buccaneers. He also returned two kickoffs for 39 yards and ran back two punts for 45 yards.
Analysis: Shaheed didn't manage to connect on any of the three deep passes that he saw from starting quarterback Derek Carr, who was playing at less than 100 percent after suffering an AC joint sprain against Green Bay in Week 3. The 25-year-old speedster did collect three short passes while also pacing New Orleans' wideout corps in targets, but, he still finished with fewer targets than running back Alvin Kamara (14), who made his season debut after serving a suspension from Week 1 to Week 3.

Notches 76-yard punt return TD
Shaheed failed to catch either of his two targets for zero yards during Sunday's 18-17 defeat versus the Packers. He also logged a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown along with one rushing attempt for no gain.
Analysis: Shaheed made his first significant special-teams impact of the 2023 campaign, darting through a crowd of tacklers before breaking away for a 76-yard punt-return touchdown in the second quarter. The 6-foot speedster fair caught the three other punts he fielded while tallying a season-low 32 yards on kickoff returns. This still made up for his inability to haul in either of his targets from quarterbacks Derek Carr and Jameis Winston, as the latter stepped in under center after the former went out…read more

Four catches in Week 2
Shaheed caught all four of his targets for 63 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Most of Shaheed's production came on a 45-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He finished a distant third on the team in targets behind Chris Olave (11) and Michael Thomas (nine). Shaheed also had two kickoff returns for 47 yards and a 16-yard punt return. The second-year pro should continue to work as the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver and return man Week 3 against the Packers.

Finds end zone Week 1
Shaheed gathered in five of six targets for 89 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 16-15 win against Tennessee. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.
Analysis: Shaheed found a role as one of the Saints' most dynamic all-around offensive players last season, and he continued to fill this role Sunday. The 6-foot speedster accounted for two of New Orleans' three longest plays from scrimmage as well as its lone touchdown, hauling in a 19-yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr during the third quarter.

Sidesteps injury report
Shaheed (groin) wasn't listed on the Saints' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Shaheed suffered a groin injury Aug. 5 that kept him off the practice field until Aug. 24. All along, the Saints had few concerns about the second-year receiver being ready to go by the team's season opener, and as expected, he'll be ready to play Sunday versus the Titans. Shaheed is expected to serve as New Orleans' No. 3 wideout behind Chris Olave and Michael Thomas.

Appears in practice
Shaheed (groin) returned for a portion of practice Thursday, making his first appearance since Aug. 5, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shaheed still figures to miss a third straight preseason game when the Saints host the Texans on Sunday, but he still has more than two weeks to prepare for a Sept. 10 season opener against Tennessee. He'll likely be the Saints' No. 3 receiver when healthy, following a rookie season in which he progressed from being an undrafted free agent to a return specialist to a trick-play weapon to a productive starter. Shaheed never drew more than six targets in a game, but he did close out the year with…read more

Likely to be ready for Week 1
The Saints have "no concerns" about Shaheed's availability for Week 1, despite the fact that a groin injury is expected to keep him out for most of the team's preseason slate, Nick Underhill and Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football report.
Analysis: While Shaheed look as though he'll need a few weeks to make a full recovery from the groin issue, he's expected to be available for New Orleans' Sept. 10 season opener against the Titans. In 12 games last season, the 24-year-old recorded a 28-488-2 receiving line on 34 targets. Once healthy, Shaheed should have a chance to remain a key cog in a Saints receiving corps that features Chris Olave and Michael Thomas as the top two options.

Shaheed is the favorite for the No. 3 role, coming off an impressive rookie season in which he went from being undrafted to earning a gadget/return role to nabbing a spot with the first-team offense.

Shaheed missed Tuesday's practice due to a groin injury, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the final set of OTAs last week, Shaheed again was a DNP to kick off the first of three days of mandatory minicamp. Coach Dennis Allen clarified the nature of Shaheed's injury Tuesday but didn't give any additional information. An undrafted rookie last year, the wideout is coming off an impressive second half of the 2022 season in which he put together a 28-488-2 line on 34 targets over 12 games and also notched four carries for 57 yards and one more score.

Shallow outing in finale
Shaheed had three receptions (on four targets) for 34 yards and a seven-yard rush during Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Shaheed didn't provide his usual spark as a big-play receiver Week 18. The 180-pound speedster also couldn't provide any explosive plays on special teams, as he fair caught all five of the punts sent his way. Over 12 games this season, the undrafted rookie posted 28 catches on 34 targets for 488 yards and two touchdowns as well as four carries for 57 yards and another touchdown. However, the majority of this production came over the final six games of the season, including three catches of 40…read more

Shaheed recorded six receptions on six targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Back in favorable weather, Shaheed returned to showcasing his big-play ability. He popped a 58-yard catch late in the second quarter to set up a field goal for the Saints. While that accounted for the majority of his production, Shaheed's involvement in the offense was notable as he managed a career-best six targets even with Chris Olave (hamstring) back in the mix.

Analysis: Shaheed stepped up as the Saints' No. 1 receiver, with rookie first-rounder Chris Olave (hamstring) inactive Saturday. The undrafted pass catcher was one of only two New Orleans wideouts to log a target, as the team attempted 15 passes due to the frigid and windy conditions in Cleveland on Saturday.

Shaheed appears to be in line to serve as the Saints' No. 1 receiver Saturday in Cleveland with Chris Olave (hamstring) ruled out for the contest and with Jarvis Landry (hamstring) moving to injured reserve, John Sigler of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Though the undrafted rookie out of Weber State didn't make his NFL debut until Week 6 and was initially deployed as a return man and gadget player, Shaheed has pushed for a more prominent role on offense in recent weeks. His snap share on offense has steadily been trending upward for each of the past six games, culminating in a breakout Week 15 outing against Atlanta in which he hauled in three of four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown while playing 71 percent of the snaps.

He also hauled in a 68-yard touchdown on a pass that traveled 33 yards through the air from change-of-pace quarterback Taysom Hill. That marked the Saints' longest play from scrimmage this season.

Analysis: The return man has been sharing time with Kevin White and Tre'Quan Smith as the team's No. 3 wideout, but at least in comparison to the other two, the undrafted rookie had an explosive outing in last week's loss to the 49ers.

Three touches in Week 12
Shaheed had two receptions on three targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 13-0 loss to San Francisco. He also added a six-yard run.
Analysis: Shaheed played his biggest all-around role of the year as he lined up on a season-high 53 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps. The rookie wideout logged the team's longest play from scrimmage, hauling in a 35-yard pass down the middle of the field in the first quarter. New Orleans will likely look for ways to get the ball in Shaheed's hands more often given his upside as a playmaker.

Reaches end zone again Thursday
Shaheed secured his lone target for 53 yards and a touchdown during the Saints' 42-34 loss to Arizona on Thursday.
Analysis: Shaheed was on the field for just 10 offensive snaps during Thursday's primetime matchup, but he reached the end zone for a second consecutive week. The 24-year-old has logged just two touches in the NFL, both of which have gone for touchdowns. His production is unsustainable given his lack of playing time, and his fantasy relevance should drop even more once Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) are cleared to return.

Shaheed played nine of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals, carrying once for a 44-yard touchdown and failing to haul in his lone target.
Analysis: Signed off the practice squad Saturday, the undrafted receiver out of Weber State stepped in for his NFL debut Sunday while the Saints were without their top three receivers (Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry).
