Rashid Shaheed

Last year, after becoming a Seahawk, Rashid Shaheed had only a 61.9% route share, an 8.8% target share with 20.9 receiving yards per game, 1.05 yards per route run, and a 12.3% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). This type of usage isn't conducive to fantasy success. Yes, could it trend upward in 2026 with a full offseason to learn the ropes? Sure, but Seattle was 29th in 11 personnel usage last year (41.3%), and I don't see that changing this season. Unless Shaheed can hop Copper Kupp on the depth chart or Kupp gets injured, it will still be tough for Shaheed to see a 70-80% route share and be productive in a run-centric offense. I'm avoiding Shaheed in drafts in all formats.

Rashid Shaheed's 2025 season was derailed after a midyear trade from New Orleans to Seattle, but his early-season showed he is capable of thriving as a fantasy-relevant No. 2 receiver. Before the trade, Shaheed ranked top-15 in WR targets and consistently produced alongside Chris Olave in the Saints offense. Seattle never fully incorporated him after the move, though the Seahawks clearly believe in his upside after handing him a three-year deal this offseason. Shaheed should enter 2026 as Seattle's clear WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, although target competition and the team's run-heavy tendencies could make him more boom-or-bust week to week.
