The Saints' offense has a way to be more efficient staring them in the face

The New Orleans Saints are searching for something-anything to help their offensive struggles.
At times, they have found success with consistent production from their top playmakers. Although, there will be weeks when defenses do a nice job of limiting guys like Taysom Hill, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara.
So, who can be another key piece for an offense that hasn't found its footing?
It's rookie wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
The speedster shows his athleticism every single time he touches the ball. He looks special.
Some of the other pass catchers have not been as effective through the air, either. Tre'Quan Smith has almost no production this year. Jarvis Landry has been inconsistent.
Other than Juwan Johnson, there hasn't been another pass catcher step up for the Saints very often this season outside of Chris Olave.
Accordingly, the Saints must get Shaheed more involved.
We see his athleticism on kick returns. He's shown great efficiency on handoffs and receptions.
The rookie has had ten offensive touches. Eight of those have been first downs or touchdowns. That isn't something to overlook if you're New Orleans right now.
Shaheed deserves more looks, and the Saints need him on offense.
