Darnell Washington vs NO — Emerging Red-Zone Target in Paris
Darnell Washington serves as Pittsburgh's secondary tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, but recent injuries to wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson have opened up targets in the passing game. Washington has established a regular red-zone presence, logging two scores over his past three games and seeing nine targets across his last two appearances.
Our weekly projection expects roughly 2.7 receptions for 28 yards, yielding 6.5 fantasy points against New Orleans. With an ownership rate hovering around 3%, Washington profiles as a touchdown-dependent streamer and deep-league option who needs an end-zone strike to deliver fantasy relevance.

Outlook Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed vs. Chiefs — Versatile Role Faces Tough Test
Shaheed continues to serve as an outside starting receiver opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp in Seattle's offense, occasionally pitching in out of the backfield given his collegiate running back roots. While he earned 12 targets over his past two contests and secured a highlight two-point conversion last week, his touch distribution remains somewhat inconsistent in a crowded passing tree.
Against an undefeated Kansas City squad, our weekly projections peg Shaheed for around two catches, 25 receiving yards, and 6.6 fantasy points. Rostered in 37% of leagues and started in only 12%, he profiles as a low-floor option in a modest scoring environment. Fantasy managers should keep him on the bench in standard leagues, reserving him strictly as a volatile deep-league flex.
