    Negotiations not smooth between Witherspoon, SEA

    ESPN’s Brady Henderson reports negotiations between the Seahawks and CB Devon Witherspoon “haven’t gone smoothly.”

    The Seahawks wrapped up Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s extension early in the offseason, but haven’t been able to come to terms with Witherspoon despite making an initial offer three months ago. It’s hard to infer the state of the negotiations from that line alone, but obviously there’s some gap still to be bridged at this time. One of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, Witherspoon figures to be near the top of the market when his deal is finally hammered out.

    Juwan Johnson caught 1-of-3 targets for seven yards in the Saints’ Week 7 loss to the Steelers.

    Johnson was solid over the first four weeks of the season, but this was another clunker for the 30-year-old tight end. After going over 50 yards in his first four games and bringing in three touchdowns, Johnson has just 23 total yards without a score in the next three. Because of positional value Johnson can’t be completely ignored, but the Saints haven’t paid much attention to him lately, so it’s time to look for alternatives, at least.

    Barion Brown caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in the Saints’ Week 7 loss to the Steelers.

    Brown did virtually all of his damage on a 49-yard connection that helped set up the only touchdown of the day for the Saints. The 22-year-old also had 97 yards in return yardage, and the athleticism of Brown was apparent even on a limited amount of touches. The sixth-round selection is worth keeping an eye on in in dynasty leagues, but isn’t someone fantasy managers can trust in redraft formats as of yet.

    Devaughn Vele caught 5-of-5 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Saints’ Week 7 loss to the Steelers.

    Vele brought in a one-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal late in the second quarter to tie the game at 10-10. It would be the last points the Saints would score. Vale has hovered around these numbers through the first half of 2026, and while it provides Shough with a nice safety valve, it’s not exactly what fantasy managers should be chasing. He’ll be a WR4 in Week 9 against the Browns after the Saints “enjoy” their bye in Week 8.

    Chris Olave caught 6-of-10 targets for 57 yards in the Saints’ Week 7 loss to the Steelers.

    Olave was once again a shorter-yardage target with a long gain of just 14 yards in the contest. Tyler Shough missed the 26-year-old on what would have been a walk-in touchdown from deep on a disappointing day for the top target in the Saints’ passing attack, at least based on expectations. He’ll remain one of the top fantasy receiving options in his next game, but that won’t come for two weeks as the Saints get a bye before facing the Browns in Week 9.

    Pat Freiermuth caught 2-of-4 targets for 20 yards in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints.

    Freiermuth didn’t appear to be bothered by his calf injury, and he quadrupled the targets of Darnell Washington (4-to-1) in this game. Washington was able to convert his only target for a touchdown, however, and Freirmuth dropped what would have been a 20-yard gain in the third quarter. Freiermuth will likely get a similar amount of targets in Week 8 against the Browns, for better or worse.

    Darnell Washington caught his only target for a four-yard touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints.

    Washington used his massive — massive seems like a huge understatement — size to haul in a touchdown near the sideline. That’s his third touchdown in four games, and it’s pretty clear that he’s become a focal point once the Steelers get inside of the red zone. He just isn’t much of one outside of those opportunities, and that makes him the most touchdown dependent tight end to ever exist. Maybe a little bit of hyperbole there. Washington will try and score again in Week 8 against the Browns.

    Germie Bernard caught 3-of-5 targets for 27 yards in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints.

    Aaron Rodgers was focused on hitting his halfbacks out of the backfield much more than his wideouts, and Bernard was unable to get much done outside of a 20-yard reception. The rookie wideout had gone over 80 yards in his last two games, but this shows the volatility in Bernard’s fantasy profile as a rookie. He’ll look to bounce back against the Browns in Week 8.

    Alvin Kamara rushed six times for five yards in the Saints’ Week 8 loss to the Steelers, adding seven receptions for 57 yards.

    Tyler Shough ended up leading the Saints with seven rushing yards. Yikes. Kamara was effective as a receiver out of the backfield, but to say that New Orleans struggled to run the ball is quite the understatement; finishing with 18 yards on 17 attempts. The good news for fantasy managers that used Kamara is that he was effective out of the backfield as a receiver, but it’s a modest day for the 31-year-old. Kamara and the Saints will try and get something going after a bye against the Browns in Week 9.

    DK Metcalf caught 2-of-6 targets for 56 yards in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints.

    After having a whopping 15 targets in the Week 6 win over the Bucs, Metcalf was essentially a non-factor in this one. He was able to haul in a 51-yard connection that set up the lone touchdown for the Steelers, but for the second time in three weeks, Metcalf was held under four catches. He’ll be a volatile WR2/3 for Week 8 in a matchup with the Browns.

    Rico Dowdle rushed nine times for 48 yards in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints, adding six catches for 45 yards.

    Dowdle was the clear backup to Jaylen Warren, but he was able to have a solid day thanks in large part to checkdowns from Aaron Rodgers. The 28-year-old had a long rush of 16 yards, and the toe injury that sidelined him earlier in the campaign doesn’t appear to be bothering him. Dowdle is a FLEX option for Week 8 against the Browns, at best.
