Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Rashid Shaheed

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly interested in trading wide receiver Chris Olave. The Pittsburgh Steelers have called the Saints asking about the availability of Olave. On paper, the Steelers do make sense after they traded wideout George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. The Saints appear to be headed towards a rebuild and trading Olave would get the organization a nice return. It's worth noting the Saints don't seem overly eager to trade Olave, but they'd be foolish not to listen to offers. They recently picked up the fifth-year option on Olave last month. It's hard to imagine the Saints trade Olave unless the Steelers make an unbelievable offer for the stud wideout.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Shaheed was placed on the injured reserve earlier on Thursday but now faces a four-to-six-month recovery, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. This is a significant loss for the New Orleans passing attack, as Shaheed was enjoying a breakout campaign. Across the first six weeks, Shaheed eclipsed 15.0 PPR points four times and averaged 58.2 yards per game. Fantasy managers should expect Chris Olave to be the top option once he returns from his concussion. On Thursday evening against the Denver Broncos, Bub Means and Mason Tipton will likely operate as the top two pass catchers.
