Chris Olave? He's out with a concussion this week for the New Orleans Saints.

Rashid Shaheed? He's missing multiple weeks after meniscus surgery on his knee.

Welp.

So with Thursday Night Football looming ... 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'd be happy to start 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'm not starting him unless you're in a mega-deep league.

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

There you have it. Good luck!
