2024 Season Outlooks

Shaheed profiles best in standard scoring leagues as a big-play threat, but even then his scoring is unpredictable. He finished with just the 49th-most Fantasy points per game among wide receivers. Shaheed will get some run as a field stretcher to help open up space in the middle, but he is not on the Fantasy radar and shouldn't be rostered in standard leagues.

Shaheed is an intriguing breakout candidate in his third NFL season after primarily operating in a situational role during his first two campaigns. The 2022 UDFA posted the sixth-highest aDOT (14.4) among WRs last season, which led to a lot of big plays (five TDs, 15.6 YPR), but inconsistent production (five top-25 fantasy weeks, but no other finishes better than 45th). With Michael Thomas gone, Shaheed's top competition for New Orleans' No. 2 WR role behind Chris Olave is the likes of A.T. Perry, Cedrick Wilson and fifth-round rookie Bub Means. It's possible Shaheed never emerges as anything more than a boom/bust situational player, but his path to heavy usage makes him well worth a late-round flier.
