Rashid Shaheed

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.

Rashid Shaheed has agreed to return to the Seahawks on a three-year, $51 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

Shaheed wasn’t what fantasy players hoped he would be in Seattle, managing only 15 receptions for 188 yards after being traded to Seattle despite his deep threat skillset and QB Sam Darnold’s deep throwing ability. However, Shaheed proved his worth in the return game, returning both a punt and kickoff for a touchdown for Seattle. Hopefully in 2026 he sees more work in the receiving game, as his price tag would imply. This likely means Tory Horton’s breakout is at best delayed, if not completely out of the cards with Cooper Kupp also still on the roster with Shaheed and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
