Shaheed heads into week 8 with a total of 326 receiving yards. So far, he is averaging 5.0 targets per contest, and his 16 yards per reception is 19th among receivers. The Saints’ offense is near the top of the league in pass attempts, and Shaheed is a deep threat that could hit the over with one play. With their tendency to throw the ball, I’m looking to take the over on Shaheed’s prop of 32.5 yards.
