Seahawks trade for WR Rashid Shaheed

Seattle’s already strong passing game has just picked up another big-play threat.

The Saints are trading wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks, according to NFL Network.

Related players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton, Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, Devaughn Vele, Juwan Johnson

Fantasy Impact: 

Shaheed was a strong trade candidate by many before the deadline and he's now a deep threat for the Seahawks. This likely pushes Horton to the team's WR4 assuming Kupp is back healthy at some point. Horton was just coming off an impressive game against the Commanders with Kupp out. Meanwhile for the Saints, Olave remains at least for now and is the team's WR1, but behind him there are lots of questions as Cook and Vele seem to be next up. Johnson, the Saints TE, looks to be the second target overall in the passing game.
