Rashid Shaheed Looks "Completely Recovered" From Knee Injury

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed looks "completely recovered" from last year's season-ending knee injury, The Times-Picayune's Matthew Paras wrote from OTAs. Shaheed went down with a meniscus injury in October that required a full repair. He's now seven months removed from that surgery, which was expected to sideline him for 4-6 months.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

We'll keep an eye on Shaheed's knee throughout the summer, but it doesn't seem like it'll be a factor in 2025.

He was off to a strong start before going down last year, drawing a 23.3% target share and ranking 23rd among WRs in PPR points through Week 6. Shaheed should return to a similar role this season as the Saints' No. 2 WR behind Chris Olave.

There's a big QB question in New Orleans, but that's more than baked into Shaheed's 10th-round, WR55 ADP. He's a strong draft target at that price.
