Rashid Shaheed - Totals 31 yards in loss Shaheed hauled in four of eight targets for 28 yards and logged one rushing attempt for four yards during Thursday's 31-24 defeat to the Jaguars.

Impact Shaheed logged a season high in targets, finishing third on the team behind top wideout Chris Olave (15) and running back Alvin Kamara (14). The 6-foot Shaheed has primarily been used on short crossing routes and deep passes that are meant to give him an opportunity for yards after the catch, and he's averaged 16.3 yards per reception. However, he didn't manage to connect on any deep passes from Saints quarterback Derek Carr, who set a new campaign best in passing attempts (55) for the second week in a row. Shaheed has logged two touchdowns this season. His value in fantasy will continue to come as an explosive, though largely hit or miss, playmaker in New Orleans' rather limited offense.

Foster Moreau - Solid outing marred by bad drop Moreau accrued three receptions (on four targets) for 33 yards during Thursday's 31-24 loss against Jacksonville.

Impact Moreau once again slotted in as the Saints' top tight end with usual starter Juwan Johnson (calf) out for the fourth week in a row. The 26-year-old got out to a strong start in this step-up spot, but he failed to corral a potential game-tying touchdown pass from Derek Carr on the Saints' final offensive series. Moreau now has recorded four targets in back-to-back contests, totaling 66 receiving yards. With hybrid tight end Taysom Hill set to fulfill more of a jack-of-all-trades role, expect Moreau to continue serving as the Saints' starting tight end if Johnson remains sidelined against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 29.

Dennis Allen Conference Call - Week 7 vs. Jaguars | New Orleans Saints

Tim Jones - Two catches Week 7 Jones caught both his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 31-24 win against the Saints.

Impact The 25-year-old worked as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout and played 14 of 56 offensive snaps. Jones hasn't significantly benefitted from Zay Jones' (knee) continued absence and is unlikely to have much of a role in the passing game going forward.

Brandon McManus - Converts lone field-goal attempt McManus converted his only field-goal attempt and all four point-after tries in Thursday's 31-24 win at New Orleans.

Impact McManus' only field-goal try came from 43 yards out, and he continued to demonstrate good accuracy at that range, knocking it through to extend Jacksonville's lead to two scores before the end of the first half. The Jaguars offense seems to have hit its stride, scoring 31.0 points per game over the last three contests, making McManus a high-floor fantasy option.
