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.

Shaheed is back on a 3-year, $51M contract after doing little as a receiver post-trade. He only had 4.4 targets per game as a Seahawk last year, but the coaching staff doubled down on him throughout the offseason and he was a standout in camp per reports. The Seahawks will remain balanced on offense while using play-action deep as the staple of the pass game. Shaheed should be the second target on these valuable looks but their success will be impossible to project week over week. Projected for 31.5 receiving yards. The Patriots have a star CB1 in Christian Gonzalez tasked with stopping Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while CB2 Carlton Davis is decent but far more gettable.

Richard Sherman on Rashid Shaheed: "I think Rashid Shaheed is gonna factor in a lot more for the Seahawks this season.. They're gonna move Jaxon Smith-Njigba and he's gonna find his openings" (@​PatMcAfeeShow)

Rashid Shaheed was acquired by the Seahawks mid-2025 season but produced minimally with a 15-188-0 line over nine games. Despite the slow start, Seattle still believes in Shaheed, awarding him a three-year, $51 million extension after the season. The source notes that while receivers can sometimes produce quickly after midseason trades, slow onboarding is more common, and the fantasy community is eager to see if Shaheed can become a useful fantasy depth piece for 2026.

Ranked just outside the top 36, is the other the source's deep pick based on a favorable cornerback matchup since the opposing team's top corner likely shadows a more hyped teammate, leaving Shaheed against a notably inconsistent complementary cornerback. He's viewed as underrated all offseason given a disruptive midseason team change last year that limited his role, with a real fresh tailwind this year from a full training camp with a new offensive coordinator and quarterback.

PositiveUsageSep 9, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Last year with Seattle, Shaheed posted a 61.9% route share, 8.8% target share, 20.9 receiving yards per game, 1.05 yards per route run, and 12.3% first-read share—usage metrics that are not conducive to fantasy success. Against New England's single-high coverage (51.8% of defensive snaps), Shaheed managed only an 11% target-per-route-run rate and 0.74 yards per route run. While usage could trend upward in 2026 with a full offseason, Derek Brown recommends sitting Shaheed until we see what his 2026 usage looks like.
