Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Ricky Pearsall

Sunday, October 26, 8:17 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is reportedly available for trade ahead of the deadline. The Saints don't appear willing to move Chris Olave, but Shaheed can be moved for the right price. Coming into Week 8, Shaheed has 30 receptions for 356 receiving yards with two touchdowns. The 27-year-old is set to be a free agent after this season. He's not a No.1 wideout, but could still help a contending organization in need of a wideout. His fantasy value would likely rise on a better offense.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 8 contest against the hosting Houston Texans on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pearsall, who has not practiced at all since suffering a PCL sprain in his knee in Week 4, will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. The fact that the 25-year-old has yet to practice suggests that he could be trending towards missing a fifth straight contest next week when the team takes on the New York Giants on the road. When healthy, the former first-rounder will be a big part of the Niners' offense, but the problem is he's proven to be quite injury-prone early in his NFL career. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne will continue to operate as the team's top two receivers, but running back Christian McCaffrey has been backup quarterback Mac Jones' top target with QB Brock Purdy (toe) sidelined.
