Chris Olaf? He is out this week with a concussion for the New Orleans Saints.

Rashid Shaheed? He has been missing for several weeks after meniscus surgery on his knee.

Cub.

So with Thursday night football threatens…who should you start in fantasy football from the Saints’ receiving corps?

Here’s my take: SOMEONE has to catch passes for this team, even against a tough 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 a top-30 option this week that I would happily start with if I had receivers on a bye.

Cedric Wilson Jr. is a dartboard throw. We know he’ll play in the slot and maybe that means some volume, but I won’t start him unless you’re in a mega-deep league.

Alvin Kamara is about to get a lot of pitches. Good news if you have him on your team.

There you have it. Success!
