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.

SI.com's John Shipley writes that Jacksonville Jaguars rookie two-way star Travis Hunter looked to take a noticeable step forward in his first OTA practice on Monday after he looked like he was learning to become a full-time receiver during rookie minicamp. Hunter was crisper in his routes, showed consistent hands and was able to make a number of plays in team drills on Monday. There will be a progression to the 22-year-old's game at the NFL level, but it's a good sign that he's already showing improvement, and Shipley writes that Hunter will obviously play a major role in the Jags' offense in 2025 and beyond. Jacksonville appears to prefer to use the second overall pick on offense rather than defense early in his career, but it's still too early to say how much exactly he'll factor in on offense in 2025. The Heisman Trophy winner has the skill to be the No. 2 wideout immediately, but his fantasy value will depend on how much he's also used on defense.
