Seahawks Bring Back Rashid Shaheed on Three-Year Deal
The Seattle Seahawks are re-signing wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a three-year, $51 million deal on Monday that includes $34.7 million guaranteed, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN's Adam Schefter. For fantasy purposes, it might have been better for Shaheed to go elsewhere, as he only caught 15 of 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games for Seattle last year after they acquired him in a midseason trade from the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed was much more involved on offense in New Orleans, catching 44 of 66 targets for 499 yards and two touchdowns. He will return to the Super Bowl champions as a field stretcher to help get Jaxon Smith-Njigba open underneath. Shaheed is also an excellent kick returner on special teams, being named to his second Pro Bowl last year. Perhaps he'll have a bigger role on offense in his first full year with the team, but Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton are still in the WR room. Shaheed will be more of a boom/bust WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in 2026.

Raiders Expected to Make a Run at Rashid Shaheed in Free Agency
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects the Las Vegas Raiders to make a run at Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, "depending on how the dominoes in the receiver market fall and the price point." New Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak "loves" Shaheed after working with him in the second half of last year, after the Seahawks acquired him in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints. However, Fowler points out that Vegas' bigger need is the offensive line. The Raiders could definitely use some upgrades at the wideout position for their expected new franchise quarterback in Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, especially after trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Shaheed, 27, only had 15 catches on 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games in Seattle, although he does also have electric special teams capabilities as a return man. Shaheed is going to be a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy wherever he lands.

Rashid Shaheed Could be a Target for Colts
The Athletic's James Boyd mentions Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Rashid Shaheed as an option for the Indianapolis Colts in free agency if they cannot bring Alec Pierce back. Shaheed torched the Colts a few years ago while playing with the New Orleans Saints and just helped the Seahawks win the Super Bowl over the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Weber State was more productive on special teams as a kick returner for Seattle than on offense after he was acquired in a midseason trade from the Saints. Shaheed had 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns with New Orleans in nine games, but caught just 15 passes for 188 yards and no TDs in nine regular-season games with the Seahawks. The speedy wideout would be a natural replacement for Pierce as a deep threat in Indy, though, perhaps improving Shaheed's fantasy upside in 2026.

Rashid Shaheed Not Close to Extension With Seahawks
Impending free-agent wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is said to not be close to a long-term contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks, and the expectation is that he will now test the free-agent market on Monday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 27-year-old was a midseason pickup by the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seahawks in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed was a key piece of the championship roster, although he was more of a fantasy asset in New Orleans with 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. In nine regular-season contests with Seattle, Shaheed had only 15 grabs for 188 yards and no touchdowns on offense. Wherever Shaheed is playing in 2026, he'll be a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy managers, with more value coming in leagues that count return yardage and TDs on special teams.

Rashid Shaheed Wants to Return to Seattle
Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver/return man Rashid Shaheed told NFL Network's Judy Battista and Bridget Condon on Wednesday that he "would love" to return to the Seahawks. Seattle acquired Shaheed at last year's trade deadline, and the 27-year-old was an underrated piece of the Seahawks' Super Bowl-champion squad. He provided an additional deep threat for quarterback Sam Darnold while also returning three kicks for scores on special teams, including one in the Divisional Round blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers. He was more of a threat for fantasy managers with the New Orleans Saints before the trade, though, as he caught only 15 of 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games in Seattle. Shaheed was averaging career bests in catches per game (4.9) and receiving yards per game (55.4) before the trade. Wherever he lands in free agency this offseason, Shaheed will most likely be a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy.

Rashid Shaheed Maintains Boom-or-Bust Outlook Ahead of Free Agency
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed proved to be a valuable contributor down the stretch, ultimately helping his team get in position to win Super Bowl LX. Shaheed opened the year with the New Orleans Saints, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2022, but was dealt to the Seahawks at the 2025 trade deadline. He stepped into a share of the No. 2 role alongside Cooper Kupp, and the two paired their respective playing skills with the elite productivity of No. 1 receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Shaheed finished the year with 687 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 59 catches, ranking as the overall WR39 in full-PPR leagues. His fantasy stock was boosted a bit by punt and kick return yards, although he didn't score a special teams touchdown in the regular season. All in all, Shaheed's big-play upside left him in a boom-or-bust pattern of performances. He had six games with fewer than 5.0 points in full-PPR leagues, but he also had six games with at least 11.8 points. Shaheed is a free agent this offseason, and while a Seattle return seems quite possible, we'd expect him to remain a boom-or-bust wherever he ends up. He'll likely be a fringe top-50 fantasy receiver entering 2026 fantasy football drafts.

Rashid Shaheed's Impact Likely Contained to Special Teams
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was largely responsible for putting last week's Divisional Round rubber match with the 49ers out of hand from the jump, returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown in a game that was never close. The play marked Shaheed's third special teams score since being acquired from the New Orleans Saints via a mid-season trade, but his impact has been felt less on offense. After playing his first half of the season in New Orleans on a 17-game pace of 83 receptions for 943 yards and four touchdowns, that pace has fallen drastically to 26 catches for 320 yards and zero receiving touchdowns since his trade to Seattle. Over the past four games, he's caught two passes for ten yards. Even against a Los Angeles defense that has been beatable through the air, Shaheed carries very little value outside of fantasy playoff leagues that reward return yards and touchdowns.

Rashid Shaheed Limited in Tuesday's Practice
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/kick returner Rashid Shaheed (concussion) was listed as limited in Tuesday's practice session, according to Josh Dubow of The Associated Press. Shaheed is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. It's good news that the 27-year-old wideout was on the field on Tuesday, but he has some boxes to check before he can get cleared before Saturday night's big divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. If Shaheed doesn't get cleared to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale, it would open up Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo, Dareke Young, and AJ Barner for more targets in the passing game. When healthy, Shaheed is a boom/bust deep threat for Seattle, who has been hard to trust as a WR4/flex in fantasy. In his eight games with Seattle, he has 14 receptions on 25 targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns.

Rashid Shaheed Up in the Air for Week 18
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that it "seems like it's going well with Rashid Shaheed" after he suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers, but the team won't know if he'll make it through the league's concussion protocol until later in the week, according to Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle. It will all depend on the 27-year-old's ability to practice this week, but with the Week 18 divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers coming this Saturday, we don't like Shaheed's chances of suiting up. Shaheed has been more of an asset on special teams for Seattle since they acquired him at the trade deadline from the New Orleans Saints. He has caught 14 of his 25 targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns in his eight games with the Seahawks. Cooper Kupp and tight end AJ Barner will have bigger roles on offense behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba if Shaheed can't get cleared for Week 18.

Rashid Shaheed Ruled Out With Concussion
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He exited in the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the game with just one catch for eight yards. The 27-year-old has primarily operated on special teams this year while splitting offensive reps with receivers like Dareke Young and Jake Bobo. Those two pass-catchers should earn more volume with Shaheed sidelined. Additionally, Young will handle kick returns while Bobo fields punts.

Rashid Shaheed Being Evaluated for Concussion, Questionable to Return in Week 17
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (concussion) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to his team's Week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Shaheed recorded one catch for eight yards on one target before exiting the game. The 27-year-old had hauled in 13 catches for 178 yards on 24 targets across seven games with Seattle entering the week. If he is unable to return, Seahawks wideouts Dareke Young and Jake Bobo would likely see an uptick in playing time. Seattle wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp will remain the team's top options in the passing game and could both see a slight increase in target share.

Rashid Shaheed a Risky Play Amidst Unfavorable Matchup
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is a risky play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Shaheed has come alive over the last three weeks, posting no less than 67 receiving yards or a touchdown in any given week. However, he only earned one target in Week 16, and most of his points came from a punt return for a touchdown. Shaheed should earn more than one target in Week 17, but the Panthers have a solid secondary that has given opposing passing games fits this season. Shaheed's role in the offense is evolving into more of the downfield role he held in New Orleans. As such, he is always a threat for a bomb touchdown reception. On the other hand, the Seahawks have shown that in unfavorable matchups, their only reliable wide receiver is generally Jaxon Smith-Njigba. If you need upside for a big play, Shaheed is your guy, but proceed with caution for championship week because he is always a threat to sink your week.

Rashid Shaheed Heating Up Ahead of Week 16
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had the most productive game of his Seahawks career in Week 15, hauling in five of seven targets for 74 yards in the 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seahawks at the trade deadline, but hasn't quite seen his former production until recent weeks. In Week 14, Shaheed had 67 yards and a huge kick return for a touchdown that changed the game against the Atlanta Falcons, and his best receiving output in Week 15. Shaheed faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, which should be one of the biggest games of the regular season in 2025. The Rams have allowed he fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so watch for Shaheed to make an impact on this game.

Rashid Shaheed Could be Involved Enough to Merit a Flex Start in Week 16
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed has found his footing in Seattle's offense over the last two weeks. He has earned 12 total targets and caught nine passes for 141 yards. He does not seem to be so much of a gadget player anymore. With Seattle starting to increase Shaheed's snap count and deploy him as an outside wide receiver, he could be a viable fantasy option in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are a tough matchup, but Shaheed's superpower is his ability to hit on big plays. Big play threats can often transcend a tough matchup because all it takes is for one pass to hit over the top to make Shaheed's fantasy day. Additionally, the Rams will be busy attempting to defend Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. JSN's attention could open up deep shots for Shaheed. If you need a flex player in your fantasy semifinals, Shaheed is a solid player to look at.

Rashid Shaheed's Role is Growing With Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had five catches for 74 yards on seven targets in the Week 15 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Shaheed hadn't been a big part of the offense in the first four games after being acquired from the New Orleans Saints at the trade deadline, playing 47.9% of the snaps and totalling just four receptions for 37 yards on 11 targets. His role has expanded in the past two games as he's gotten more acclimated in the offense, with nine catches for 141 yards on 12 targets. Notably, his snap share spiked to 68.3% in Week 15, his highest mark with Seattle by 12 percentage points. Shaheed's 18.2% target share in the past two weeks is second only to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Seattle, and his big-play ability makes him worth a look off the waiver wire, as he could be in for a nice finish to the season.

Rashid Shaheed Could be a Player to Watch in Week 15
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed finally broke out as a member of the Seahawks in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Although his production was buoyed by a punt return for a touchdown, he could carry his six-target momentum into Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Shaheed is still hovering around 50% of the offensive snaps, but Seattle seemed to make a point of getting him more involved down the field in Week 14. Shaheed is a talented outside receiver. If he can receive more opportunities down the field rather than as a gadget player, he could be great for this team. The Colts are No. 27 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. They have simply had issues containing wide receivers despite their addition of cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) at the trade deadline. Gardner is also out for this game If Seattle can continue to feed Shaheed, he could become a fantasy revelation over the final few weeks of the fantasy football playoffs. Keep an eye on Shaheed's production this week and consider throwing him on the back of your bench if you have the space.

Can Rashid Shaheed Repeat His Big Week 14 Performance?
Seattle wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is coming off his best game in a Seahawks uniform and is currently rostered in about 50% of leagues, making him an interesting waiver add in Week 15. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, he caught four of his five targets for 67 yards, while his 100-yard kick return touchdown blew open what was a tight game to that point. Shaheed's usage since being traded to Seattle had been underwhelming, but his 76% of snaps lined up wide against Atlanta marked a season-high, and his 12.8-yard average depth of target was nearly two and a half yards higher than he had seen across his first four games with the Seahawks. Seattle faces a suddenly reeling Colts team in Week 15 that ranks 29th in the league in fantasy points above expectation surrendered to the wide receiver position.

Rashid Shaheed Arrow Pointing Up?
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed turned in his first fantasy-relevant performance as a member of the Seahawks. Shaheed did most of his damage on a punt return for a touchdown. However, it was his four receptions on five targets that were encouraging. Most importantly, Shaheed's targets were far more downfield than they have been since he joined the Seahawks. He recorded 67 receiving yards on his four catches. Fantasy managers will not be able to count on a weekly punt return for a touchdown from Shaheed, but if his targets and route participation can continue to improve, he could end up being a solid add for the fantasy football playoffs. Shaheed should not be started in Week 15; however, he should be rostered in case his involvement in the offense continues to improve. With the stretch run of the NFL season upon us, it would behoove the Seahawks to get Shaheed more involved.

Rashid Shaheed Continues to be Uninvolved in Seahawks' Offense
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is not a fantasy option in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Shaheed's snap count percentage has capped out around 50% for this team. He is being used as more of a gadget player than a true WR2. It is always difficult to integrate a new player at the trade deadline, but Shaheed is capable of much more in this offense. To make matters worse, Shaheed is not even being targeted down the field despite his limited usage. He does not possess the potential to hit on a big play unless he takes a punt return to the house. At this point, Shaheed can be dropped from your team. Until the Seahawks demonstrate that he is going to be a fully integrated piece of their offense, he is not going to be worth rostering in fantasy.

Rashid Shaheed a Boom/Bust Player in Week 13
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is a risky starting option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Shaheed is still finding his way as a member of the Seahawks. His snap count numbers continue improving as the weeks wear on, but his volume remains low. Shaheed was held without a catch in Week 12 after earning five targets in Week 11. The Seahawks have not yet unlocked Shaheed's big-play ability. However, with wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) on injured reserve, the Seahawks need a player to unlock the deep area of the field. The Vikings are No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to deliver a great fantasy day. Unfortunately, Shaheed is not a worthy starting option in Week 13, given the Vikings' solid defense and his lack of involvement. For now, he is a worthy bench stash until the Seahawks are able to figure out how to use him.
