The New Orleans Saints have traded wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks bolstered their wide receiver room by adding New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. Last year under current Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak Shaheed was averaging 17.5 yards per reception.
The Seahawks wide receiver room is a little crowded with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and rookie Tory Horton starting to make an impact. This move might end up being detrimental to Shaheed’s fantasy value for the rest of the season.

New Orleans Saints second year quarterback Spencer Rattler has looked a lot better than 2025 second round pick Tyler Shough.
Spencer Rattler has looked like the best quarterback at New Orleans Saints training camp so far, outplaying 2025 40th overall pick Tyler Shough. Rattler has said he feels like the best quarterback on the field.
Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and Rashid Shaheed will likely be dealing with quarterback turmoil throughout the season. The Saints are likely to start multiple quarterbacks this season and it looks like Rattler currently has the edge to begin the season atop the depth chart.
New Orleans will want to get a look at Shough at some point this season, he’s been a late round selection in fantasy drafts and this report won’t help his stock. Olave, Kamara and Shaheed have all been selections inside the top 110 of fantasy drafts even with the quarterback uncertainty accounted for.

Rashid Shaheed has bulked up to 190 pounds this offseason, but says he hasn’t lost any of his trademark speed.
Rashid Shaheed started 2024 ablaze with at least 15 points in four of his first five games. People may not remember, but he was catching bombs from Derek Carr, and the team had a top-5 passing offense in the league. Their season was quickly dismantled by injury, and Shaheed missed week 7 onward with a knee sprain.
Although New Orleans seems to have an uphill battle towards success in 2025, Shaheed figures to be the one guy who can take the top off the defense. I like the way he profiles a lot more now that he’s put on an extra 10 pounds. Hopefully, he’ll continue to showcase his 4.3 speed and keep his body healthy throughout the season. He’ll be a nice boom or bust option each week, at the very least, and has the talent to work his way into WR3 territory and beyond. Not bad, considering his ADP currently sits in the 150s.

According to Saints beat reporter Matthew Paras, he had a couple of nice days in OTAs and connected with Shough on a sweet deep ball.
Rashid Shaheed was off to a hot start as a breakout wide receiver 2 last year before an unfortunate season ending torn meniscus in week 6. While mostly thriving off of deep balls, he also had an 11 target game in week 4 and managed to score 3 TD’s in 5 weeks, averaging over 16 fantasy points in all but one week (ok to be fair week 3 was a goose egg as Shaheed and Carr could not connect on his 5 targets). The injury could not have come at a worse time for the undrafted 26 year old receiver that really only shined on special teams in a small school – the early season production was desperately needed for him to cement a second contract and vault him up in fantasy football rankings.
Positive reports of his recovery and especially his early chemistry with rookie QB Tyler Shough are encouraging. Scouting reports on Shough often cite his ability to throw deep balls relatively effectively, his lead receiver last season, Ja’Corey Brooks, feasted on a 16.6 yards per reception, leaving us to hope Shough earns the starting role week 1 and continues to connect with Shaheed early and often. Shaheed has fallen precipitously across all fantasy formats, he’s a perfect late round best ball candidate and a great buy low target in Dynasty. As a player who’s already proven he can hand in the NFL, Shaheed should have the leg up over most rookie receivers getting drafted in the 3rd round or later.

New Orleans Saints Taysom Hill is out but running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed are good to go.
Jack of all trades Taysom Hill is going to miss back-to-back weeks due to rib injury. This will also be the third game he has missed this season. This is major blow to the Saints in which they are starting Spencer Rattler this week due to Derek Carr being out as well. Hill could have been used in a wildcat formation or even on trick play too.
The Saints will however have starting running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed. They got taken off of the injury report on Friday. Look for the Saints to lean heavily on Kamara this week as they have rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler starting. Kamara is a must start this week since he will be used as a workhorse. Shaheed can be a streamer this week if needing someone to fill in due to injuries or byes.

The New Orleans Saints trounce their division rival 47-10 in week 1.
The New Orleans Saints pulled ahead in the NFC South division race by defeating their division rival Carolina Panthers 47-10. Derek Carr and the Klint Kubiak offense get off to a hot start.
Rashid Shaheed was the star receiver of the day with 3 receptions for 73 yards receiving and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara had 83 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with 5 receptions for 27 yards receiving.
Bryce Young had a putrid 43.3% completion percentage, 161 passing yards, and 0 touchdowns. Diontae Johnson had 2 receptions for 19 yards. There aren’t enough Bojangles biscuits to be served that will help Panther fans recover from the week 1 disappointment.
The Saints will face a big test in week 2 traveling to face the Dallas Cowboys while the Panthers nightmare will continue in Charlotte versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
