Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Rashid Shaheed

Friday, November 7, 9:26 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the NFL's most consistent players at the position so far this season. The 26-year-old has recorded 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets across eight games played. He's earned double-digit targets in each of Detroit's last three contests, and he's logged at least six catches and 70 receiving yards in every game but two in 2025. St. Brown gets a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Making matters worse, top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9. St. Brown profiles as a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 10.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed "might need to play extensively" in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Henderson notes that Shaheed, who was acquired from the New Orleans Saints earlier this week, may be tasked with handling a large workload as the Seahawks overcome injuries to receivers Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring), Jake Bobo (calf), Dareke Young (hip), and Tory Horton (groin/shin) is doubtful. Of that group, Kupp is the only one with a real chance to play. Shaheed and Kupp both figure to get involved alongside alpha receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Shaheed is more of a big-play threat while Kupp offers a reliable presence in the short passing game. The 27-year-old is a low-floor, high-ceiling WR3 heading into a matchup against a Cardinals defense that most recently allowed Dallas' top two receivers to combine for 13 catches and 164 yards.
