Saints acquire Shockey: The New Orleans Saints have acquired disgruntled New York Giants TE Jeremy Shockey. Saints spokesman Greg Bensel on Monday confirmed the trade. The Saints did not immediately say what they were giving to the Giants in exchange, but reports are he went for a second- and fifth-round pick. The deal must be approved by the league and is contingent on Shockey passing a physical. (Updated 07/21/2008).
Injury Report
Leg - Probable for the start of 2008 training camp (Updated - 2/13/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Shockey, if healthy, should do well playing in New Orleans with QB Drew Brees. Keep an eye on his health, since last year he missed the final two regular season games and the postseason with a broken leg. Shockey could return to an elite Fantasy option with the Saints. Consider him a No. 1 Fantasy TE once again worth a pick around Round 7 in all leagues. (Updated 07/21/2008).
TE Jeremy Shockey has been traded to the Saints, pending his passing a physical. The Giants will receive second- and fifth-round draft picks in 2009 in exchange. In New Orleans, Shockey immediately becomes the main target in an already crowded tight end mix that includes Eric Johnson, Billy Miller and Mark Campbell. Shockey is expected to join the team by Thursday, and has a history with coach Sean Payton, who was the Giants' offensive coordinator when Shockey was drafted. "I have had a relationship with coach Payton and I appreciate what he has done as a head coach," Shockey said in a statement from the team. "The Saints have a lot of weapons starting with Drew Brees and I look forward to joining my teammates at training camp. This will be a fun year." 07/22/2008

The New Orleans Saints signed second-round pick Tracy Porter to a four-year contract on Friday, then released veteran tight end Eric Johnson, whose starting job was in jeopardy after the Saints traded for Jeremy Shockey earlier in the week.
Finding a player who is going from good to great is what all Fantasy owners want going into the season. Our Jamey Eisenberg highlights a list of breakout players for 2008 that should help you on draft day.
Jeremy Shockey was traded to the Saints for two draft picks Monday, giving New Orleans a disgruntled star tight end who watched from afar while injured as the New York Giants surged to the Super Bowl title.
