Week 18 Outlook
Availability
Saints' WR Robert Meachem, along with RB Khiry Robinson, OT Nick Becton, NT Lawrence Virgil, LB Kyle Knox, CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste, and CB Terrence Frederick will all be inactive this week against the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Meachem is the name here with the most fantasy relevance, but he did look likely to play earlier in the week so there must have been some sort of setback. Either way, he's the fourth wideout on the Saints' depth chart so you couldn't expect anything from him anyway. Robinson will stay inactive due to his forearm injury.
The Saints have resigned recently released WR Robert Meachem.
Fantasy Impact
Meachem carries little to no fantasy value at the moment. However, he is a valuable backup for the Saints. He knows the system and last year he showed he can still perform when his number is called. Meachem is not worth rostering, barring a plague of WR injuries for the Saints.
The Saints have released veteran WR Robert Meachem.
Fantasy Impact
Meachem was buried on the depth chart. He would have needed several WRs to miss time for him to have any fantasy value. He will likely get a look from other teams, but after busting in San Diego and now this, he would only be added for depth.
Robert Meachem caught one of three targets for 52 yards in the New Orleans Saints' preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Meachem continues to show that he might have potential as a late round pickup due to his ability to catch long passes and make big plays.
