Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Xavier Legette

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.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, Legette won't play after being considered week-to-week, according to head coach Dave Canales. There is only three games left in the season, so we'll see if Legette is able to get on the field again this season. For now, Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quad) figure to serve as the primary wideouts. However, Coker (quad) and fellow wideout David Moore (concussion) are considered questionable for this game. Deven Thompkins could end up seeing an expanded role, but he won't be a recommended streaming option. If active, both Coker and Moore have low-end flex appeal for this Week 16 matchup.
