Bub Means

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
New Orleans Saints
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Means was taken 170th overall and was the Saints' final selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh product came on as an explosive downfield threat in 2023, catching 41 of 84 targets for 721 yards and six touchdowns. His catch rate was below average (49 percent), but some of this could be due to shoddy quarterback play. At 6-1 and 212 pounds, Means also has the size and speed (4.43 40-yard dash) to play inside or outside receiver. The Saints have two solid starting wideouts in Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed followed by Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and 2023 sixth-rounder A.T. Perry. Read Past Outlooks
