Lynn Bowden Should Be Avoided In Week 15

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden has played a partial role in the offense over the past few weeks with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) missing time. Shaheed has logged back-to-back limited practices, indicating that he has a chance to be on the field on Sunday against the New York Giants. Shaheed's status in this game will determine Bowden's role. If Shaheed plays, Bowden cannot be considered in lineups. If he misses, Bowden is a deep league flier against a New York defense surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. Chris Olave (ankle) is likely to miss, giving plenty of target opportunities to the rest of the Saints' weapons.

Lynn Bowden Could Step Up In Banged Up Receiver Room

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden filled in for an injured Rashid Shaheed (thigh) last week, taking slot receiver snaps and factoring into the rushing game on two carries for 40 yards. With Shaheed logging back-to-back DNPs at practice this week, his status for Sunday is in doubt, meaning that Bowden could again see some usage. The 26-year-old journeyman receiver should only be rostered in the deepest of leagues but could be considered as a desperation flex play against a Detroit secondary surrendering the fourth-most points per game to opposing receivers. Monitor the statuses of Chris Olave (concussion protocol) and Shaheed before making a tough call to place Bowden in lineups against Detroit.
