Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed will miss Thursday night's game against the Denver Broncos due to a meniscus injury in his knee, which will require surgery. Head coach Dennis Allen indicated that there is a possibility Shaheed could be placed on injured reserve, which would extend his absence beyond just this week. With the Saints' bye week not coming until Week 12, fantasy managers should prepare for Shaheed to be sidelined for an extended period.
- Rashid Shaheed is out for at least Week 8 due to a knee injury.
