Hopes are high for Rashid Shaheed entering year 2 in Seattle, per @​AlbertBreer “The staff loves Shaheed’s elusiveness in addition to his elite straight-line speed. There’s a chance now to build a role for him on gadget plays like you’d have seen years ago with Deebo Samuel.”

Shaheed is being weaponized more like he was used in New Orleans under Clint Kubiak, who just arrived in Las Vegas. He's an explosive player with an expanded route tree positioned to benefit if JSN comes back down to earth. Before his season-ending meniscus tear, Shaheed averaged 13 points per game over 73 yards in four of five games with Derek Carr, hovering around top 20 in advanced metrics with 17.5 yards per reception; he dropped to 11 yards per reception last year but is expected to regain efficiency with the new scheme. His ADP is wide receiver 58 in the 12th round, making him a fantastic flyer and strong value at that price point.

NegativeValueJul 6, 2026Establish The Run
Shaheed rose 7.3 spots to 138 overall ADP on DraftKings heading into 2026 despite no hard news or depth chart changes, driven by positive offseason buzz. Adam Levitan buys the narrative: the Seahawks made a major capital investment (three-year, $51 million contract with $35 million guaranteed in November trade), lost Kenneth Walker, and have regression risk in Jackson Smith-Njigba's 33.9% target share from last year. New offensive coordinator Brian Fleury and head coach Mike McDonald are expected to fully integrate Shaheed into a bigger role; per Jeremy Fowler, Shaheed had a major spring and is hitting it off with Sam Darnold, with the team planning to give him more short and intermediate targets. Levitan sees upside at 138 overall and views him as a viable fifth or sixth wide receiver in best ball, noting Shaheed-Darnold stacks (including Shaheed-Darnold-Cup or Shaheed-Darnold-AJ Barnard combinations) are all viable.

PositiveValueJul 6, 2026Fantasy Life Articles
Seahawks signed Shaheed to a three-year, $51M deal this offseason—more than the Chiefs gave Kenneth Walker—signaling he was prioritized over Super Bowl MVP. ADP riser (+4.1 spots). Had 67% route participation and 10% target share in Seattle after mid-season acquisition, but expanded to 12% target share and 31% air yards in playoffs. Reportedly expanded route tree this offseason; ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports he'll be a 'big-time player' in 2026-27. Should take another step forward in first full year with team. Will likely never possess safe floor due to Jaxon Smith-Njigba's target volume, but big plays should increase. Very interesting flyer for best ball with price tag likely to continue rising.

Shaheed signed a $51 million, three-year deal with the Seahawks this offseason—more guaranteed money than Kenneth Walker received from the Chiefs—signaling the team's financial commitment to him as a receiver. Currently drafted as WR57, he offers baseline positive projection plus contingent upside if JSN (who had 35% target share) goes down. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Shaheed had a major spring and is hitting it off with Sam Darnold, with the offense planning to give him more short and intermediate routes. In a 15-game stretch with the Saints (2024–2025) under Spencer Rattler and injured Derek Carr, he averaged 57 yards per game and ranked WR38–WR30 in usage. The Seahawks ranked 30th in 11-personnel (three-WR sets) at 42%, meaning the team will rely heavily on two-WR sets where Shaheed should take over for aging Cooper Cup (33 years old). Among all WR2/TE2 depth-chart players, only the Dolphins, Raiders, and Commanders have later ADP than Shaheed despite Seattle projecting for the ninth-most points in the league and ranking second in scoring last year. Last year he caught just 15 of 26 targets for 188 yards in the regular season (3 catches, 78 yards in playoffs) and saw his route target rate drop from 22% in New Orleans to 14% with the Seahawks, but the financial investment and decision to let Cooper Cup age out suggest Shaheed will be featured more prominently in 2025.

PositiveDepth ChartJun 29, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Rashid Shaheed (WR, SEA) is #119 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 138.2 with a 113.2-point projection. Verdict: Shaheed signs $51M deal as Seahawks' sleeper WR2. Shaheed did next to nothing as a receiver after the Seahawks traded a 3rd-round pick for him. Since then, they signed him to a 3-year, $51M contract, which was actually more than Super Bowl MVP's Kenneth Walker's deal with the Chiefs. The Seahawks essentially said Shaheed is more valuable moving forward.

.@​JFowlerESPN on Rashid Shaheed: “Rashid Shaheed had a major spring. He and Sam Darnold are hitting it off… They’re going to give more short and intermediate stuff to him. He’s going to be a big time player for Seattle.”
