Chris Olave? He is out with the New Orleans Saints this week due to a concussion.

Rashid Shaheed? He has been out for several weeks following knee meniscus surgery.

Welp.

So go with it Thursday Night Football looming…who should you start from the Saints' receiving corps in fantasy football?

Here's my take: SOMEONE has to catch passes for this team, even against a stout Denver Broncos defense. But Patrick Surtain II is out, which helps the Saints.

Bub Means is a WR3 with potential for more. That means he's in the top 30 this week and I'd be happy to start if I had receivers on a bye.

Cedric Wilson Jr. is a dartboard thrower. We know he'll be in this slot and maybe that means some volume, but I'm not running him unless you're playing in a mega deep league.

Alvin Kamara faces a lot of throws. Good news if you have him on your team.

There you have it. Good luck!
