Cooper Kupp News
Tuesday, June 23, 5:25 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp played in 16 games in 2025, but his 593 receiving yards were the lowest since his 2018 sophomore season, in which he missed eight games after tearing his ACL halfway through. His first season in Seattle also marked his first 16-game campaign since winning the receiving Triple Crown in 2021, but even without succumbing to the injuries that have slowed him of late, the ninth-year veteran has seen a notable decline in his ability to separate or add meaningful production after the catch. Heading into his 10th season at 33 years old, Kupp remains an important complementary piece for Seattle behind Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but that real-life importance is unlikely to translate to fantasy outside of the occasional best-ball spike week, and the two-time Super Bowl champion is RotoBaller's WR72 for 2026.

Rashid Shaheed News
Tuesday, June 30, 9:19 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Seattle Seahawks speedy wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had a "major spring," and he and quarterback Sam Darnold are "hitting it off." The Seahawks are expected to employ more motions and shifts this year under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, and they are planning to give Shaheed more work in the underneath and intermediate areas of the field. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Weber State could be a big-time player for the Seahawks in 2026 after he caught 15 of 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games (four starts) after the Seahawks acquired him midseason from the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed had only three grabs on 10 targets for 78 yards in three postseason games, so he wasn't exactly a big part of last year's offense. Apparently that could change under Fleury, making the speedy wideout a potential late-round sleeper in fantasy drafts this fall. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 59 fantasy WR. In nine starts with the Saints before being traded in 2025, Shaheed had 44 receptions for 499 yards and two scores on 66 targets.
