Saints' Bub Means: Three catches in loss
Means secured three of five targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Means found himself in an expanded role with Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Taysom Hill (ribs) all sidelined, and he finished tied for second in receptions and fourth in receiving yards. The rookie fifth-round pick went without a catch for the first four games of his career, but he's now generated an 8-82-1 line on 13 targets over the last pair of contests. Means could be in for extra opportunity again in a Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 27 with Shaheed now ruled out for the season.

Saints' Bub Means: Career-best showing in loss
Means brought in five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The rookie fifth-round pick had logged only one target and zero catches through the first five games of his NFL career, but Means took advantage of Chris Olave's early exit due to a concussion to record his first stats as a pro. What's more, Means also happened to be on the receiving end of fellow rookie Spencer Rattler's first career touchdown pass, a nifty 10-yard grab just before the halfway point of the second quarter. Despite the surprisingly productive showing, Means' minuscule role to date and the fact it took Olave's absence to allow the former to see meaningful involvement casts doubt on how much carryover there will be in future weeks. However, with New Orleans on a short week before a Week 7 Thursday night home matchup against the Broncos, Means could certainly carry some short-term fantasy value.

Saints' Bub Means: Plays six snaps Sunday
Means compiled zero receptions (on one target) for zero yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory over the Panthers.
Means got onto the field late in the fourth quarter, finishing with the fewest offensive snaps of the five wide receivers who played for the Saints on Sunday. The rookie out of Pittsburgh didn't show up on the offensive stat sheet outside of one target, and his only other notable moment came when he drew an offensive holding penalty on the opening kickoff return. Second-year wideout A.T. Perry was also inactive with a hand injury Week 1. When this wide receiver corps is fully healthy, it's likely that Means will be spending the vast majority of games on the sideline this season. He could see fringe playing time if Perry remains out for next Sunday's road game at Dallas.

Saints' Bub Means: Resumes practicing in full
Means (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Means and Rashid Shaheed (hamstring) both shed their non-contact jerseys and practiced in full Wednesday. A rookie fifth-round pick, Means is competing for a depth role on New Orleans' final roster, so he'll work to make a splash during Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Saints' Bub Means: Participates in practice Tuesday
Means (undisclosed) donned a red non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice session, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Means is dealing with an unspecified injury that held him out of Saturday's preseason contest against Arizona. The rookie fifth-rounder is battling for a depth spot at wide receiver, and his availability for the last two preseason games would play a big role in whether he makes the Saints' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Saints' Bub Means: Off active/NFI list
The Saints activated Means from the active/non-football injury list Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Means moved to the list Tuesday. The Saints picked Means in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft after he caught 41 passes for 721 yards and six touchdowns during his final collegiate season in 2023. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are New Orleans' top two wide receivers, but the depth chart is pretty open beyond them.

The rookie fifth-round pick will be eligible to come off the NFI list at any point during training camp or the preseason, as soon as he's cleared to resume practicing.
