00:00But if you have Rashid Shaheed on your fantasy team and you started in both weeks, I'm going

00:09to guess you're two and oh, unless something really went sideways for you.

00:12Otherwise, he is, he only caught really two really big passes, but he's being targeted

00:17a lot.

00:19He certainly feels like he's part of the old saints regime.

00:23Remember that George, when they were throwing down the field to Debra Henderson and Colston

00:27and Joe Horn, right?

00:30Like it just didn't matter.

00:31They would just, Breeze would just chuck it up and somebody would be under it and run

00:33for a touchdown.

00:35Saints have not had this kind of weapon in a while.

00:38He's 63% owned in fantasy leagues and probably a lot less started in fantasy leagues, but

00:44I think he's a must add.

00:46And I think at this point with the injuries in the NFL, he's probably a must start.

00:52I mean, I think what Sam told us, he's about 37% owned.

00:56That's 37% available.

00:59That's amazing to me.

01:00For most leagues, you start three wide receivers, plus you've got a flex, plus you're a bench,

01:03as you mentioned, all the injuries and no one's picking this guy up.

01:07I don't get it.

01:08All right.

01:09Now, I have him as my wide receiver too.

01:10Not even a wide receiver three or a flex, but he's a wide receiver too.

01:12And keep in mind, he's putting up all these numbers and the Saints haven't even had to

01:16play in the second half of either game, right?

01:19They blew out Carolina.

01:20They blew out Dallas.

01:21All right.

01:22So what would his numbers be like if these games were closer, where they were still throwing

01:24the ball in the second half, not just trying to, you know, get out with a win and move

01:27on to next week.

01:29So yeah, Shahid's a pickup.

01:31Do I think he's going to be a wide receiver too all season long?

01:34Probably not.

01:35All right.

01:36Probably not.

01:37But I think he'll be playable.

01:38I think he'll be usable.

01:39I don't think he's going to fall off the table.

01:40I mean, I had him on my team last year when he was so, so deep in leagues, but you get

01:44my point here.

01:45So yeah, Shahid is a must have.
