Rashid Shaheed Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Wed, May 21st 2025, 3:57pm EDT

Rashid Shaheed was in the midst of a third-year breakout before a torn meniscus in Week 6 cut his season short. Through six games, he ranked as the WR17 overall (WR27 ppg) despite a zero-point Week 3, averaging 2.04 yards per route run and 73+ receiving yards in four of six games. Surprisingly, Shaheed outperformed Chris Olave across the board during that stretch - higher target share (25% vs. 20%), double the air yards, and more top-12 weekly finishes since 2023 (4 vs. 3). Given the uncertainty surrounding the Saints, Shaheed stands out as one of the few Saints worth targeting - especially at a discounted ADP. He offers legitimate spike-week upside and quietly carries an almost better track record than his teammate.
