Seahawks trade for WR Rashid Shaheed

Pro Football Talk

Nov 04, 2025 · 1:41 PM EST

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.

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.

Saints go with Tyler Shough at QB

The future is now in New Orleans, with the Saints making rookie QB Tyler Shough their starter.

Spencer Rattler now heads to the bench, while the second-rounder moves to the forefront in a decision coach Kellen Moore informed them of today.

Fantasy Impact:

The stats say Shough was worse than Rattler last week against the Bucs after taking over, but the Saints are making the switch. With the Saints not going anywhere, it makes sense for the team to see what they have with their second round pick from this past spring. Reports out of camp from spring and summer from some who follow the team said the competition wasn't really close, and Rattler was the better option. Now the question becomes how does this decision affect some of the other weapons on the team. It's probably at least a slight downgrade until we see otherwise.

Saints TE Taysom Hill not close to return

According to head coach Kellen Moore, both tight end Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill are not close to a return to the field. Rather, “they’re not ready to get on the field any time soon”, via Moore. The depth at TE for Moore’s offense is a notable concern due to these injuries.

Related players: Juwan Johnson, Jack Stoll

Fantasy Impact:

As the story pointed out, Johnson is the clear starter for the Saints at the TE position. Stoll is set for a legitimate offensive impact as of now, but is considered more of a blocker, the story went on to say. As for Hill, he is trying to recover from an ACL tear at 34-years-old. Hill is expected to remain on the PUP list and miss the first four games of the season. Given his age and the injury, he's obviously a risky bet in fantasy this season. But if you like to take chances and take advantage of IR spots, Hill is at least someone you can stash there and maybe pick up late in drafts.

TE Juwan Johnson returns to Saints on three-year deal

Mar 12, 2025 · 9:59 AM EDT

The Saints and TE Juwan Johnson agreed to terms on a 3-year, 30.75M deal that maxes out at $34.5M, per The Insiders. He gets 21.25m guaranteed. An important move in New Orleans.

Related Players: Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau

Fantasy Impact:

A perennial favorite in the TE streaming streets, Johnson finally hit 50 receptions last season (50-548-3) and should be in the running to put up modest-to-good numbers, even with Hill and Moreau in town. He's not draftable in typical redraft leagues, but makes a good TE3/stack option in best ball.
