SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #89   
Overall: #263


Meachem had a quick start to his second season, but didn't follow that up too well. He had touchdowns in two of his first four games, but didn't score again until the last week of the season. In fact, he had just five receptions since Week 5. The Saints still like his talent, but he needs to do a better job of holding onto the ball. Meachem is a big receiver with speed. He could be the top deep threat in their high-flying offense, averaging 24.1 yards per reception in his career. The Saints throw often, but Meachem will have to earn his playing time. His play early in the season will likely determine how much he plays.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Meachem is worth a late-round grab. The Saints throw often and they don't have a ton of sure-fire talent after Marques Colston. Meachem is running out of time to make an impact, though. He'll be boom or bust for fantasy teams.
Steve Wyche, of NFL.com, reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem is finally showing signs of playing to his potential. Head coach Sean Payton said Meachem is in shape and finally familiar with the team's offensive scheme.
Fantasy Impact: We have heard this before, but this is a make or break year for Meachem. He could get some playing time if he impresses in camp and preseason action.
Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem could become a bigger part of the team's offense, particularly in the red zone, with the injury to TE Jeremy Shockey (hernia).
Fantasy Impact: Maybe he finally lives up to that sleeper status this season.
The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem was active for the first time in his career Week 2. Meachem caught a 19-yard touchdown pass in the game.
Fantasy Impact: Hopefully, this gets him on the field more but we wouldn't count on it.
Meachem is inactive for Week 1.
Fantasy Impact: He made a few sleeper lists, again, but this isn't a good sign for the coming year. He isn't even hurt.
New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem continued his strong preseason showing Saturday, Aug. 23, against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had four receptions for 71 yards with a long of 54 yards. He also had one rushing attempt for 13 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Meachem should be on your sleeper list.
The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem caught four passes for 129 yards with a 60-yard touchdown reception in the team's preseason game Thursday, Aug. 7.
Fantasy Impact: Meachem is a real sleeper this season. He could get a lot of chances in a good Saints passing game.
Mike Triplett, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem has been earning rave reviews for his progress the past few months. Meachem is healthy after a knee injury slowed him down for much of the 2007 season. He is also showing more confident determination.
Jimmy Smith, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem (knee) has been medically cleared, according to head coach Sean Payton. "I've been encouraged with the feedback I've gotten with the way he's running. I think any lingering effects from his knee from a year ago have all but disappeared. That's encouraging. . . . He's cleared and full speed ahead," Payton added.
Fantasy Impact: Meachem has a chance to play a role with the Saints next season. He was their first-round pick last season - don't forget that.
Tom Planchet, of WWLTV.com, reports New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said WR Robert Meachem, who did not see any playing time this season, will be 'in the mix' at receiver next season. Meachem was the team's first round pick in the 2007 draft and the head coach said the young receiver has been impressing the coaching staff with his scout team performances in the past few weeks.
Fantasy Impact: We'll see. Meachem could be a good late-round pick next season.
The New Orleans Saints have declared OG Andy Alleman, CB Fred Thomas, OT Jermon Bushrod, DL Josh Cooper, LB Matt McCoy, DL McKinley Boykin, RB Pierre Thomas, WR Robert Meachem inactive for Week 13.
