Rashid Shaheed 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Commitment From Seahawks Should Signal Bigger Year
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed experienced two distinct chapters in 2025, totaling 59 catches for 687 yards and two receiving scores. However, 44-499-2 of that line came in nine games with the Saints, which was good for the WR31 in half-PPR formats. Seattle then scooped him in a trade, but his involvement was limited to 15 scoreless catches over the final nine contests. Shaheed's biggest impact with the Seahawks came as a returner, though that doesn't help most fantasy managers. The skill set that made him a WR3 on the Saints didn't suddenly evaporate. It is reasonable to think that Seattle, which gave him a three-year deal worth $51 million this offseason, has bigger plans now that they've had a year to integrate him into the system. Their rushing offense is also a bigger question mark with Zach Charbonnet recovering from knee surgery and Kenneth Walker III in Kansas City. While the defense can carry games, the offense should get more aerial as well. The speedster's RotoBaller rank around pick 145 is close to the summer 138 ADP (WR56), so there's room to profit for those who believe his role will expand.
