From the article

Rashid Shaheed was moved to the Seattle Seahawks at the trade deadline last year and took a while to work his way into the offense, especially with the Seahawks facing plenty of zone coverage in the back half of the schedule. Shaheed is a deep threat who blows away man-to-man, which is what the New England Patriots defense leans into. With a full offseason to integrate into the playbook of new OC Brian Fleury, Shaheed is expected to play a bigger role in the receiving corps.

Positive signalProjection

Shaheed's full offseason integration and man-coverage matchup support 40+ yard projection.

Shaheed, traded to Seattle at the deadline last year, is expected to play a bigger role in the receiving corps in 2026 after a full offseason to integrate into new OC Brian Fleury's playbook. The source projects him closer to 40 receiving yards in Week 1 against New England's man-to-man heavy defense, which suits his deep-threat profile. With JSN drawing double coverage, Shaheed will see one-on-one matchups. He had two catches on five targets for 27 yards in Super Bowl LX but just missed on a 60+ yard bomb in the fourth quarter.
