Rashid Shaheed News
Friday, October 2, 8:46 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) can likely be left on waivers in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Seattle's offense has yet to get Shaheed going, as he has now recorded just three targets in two of three games this season. Following a Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Shaheed seemed like he was trending towards a bigger role. However, Shaheed has recorded just six receptions on the season. For the first couple of weeks, Shaheed was a good wait-and-see prospect in fantasy. At this point, he is likely best left on waivers until Seattle's offense demonstrates that it will heavily use any wide receivers outside of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Although the Chargers do not present a tough challenge as the No. 20 defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy, Shaheed's lack of volume makes him difficult to trust until further notice.

Adonai Mitchell News
Wednesday, October 7, 8:53 AM
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) is still considered week-to-week with his finger injury, head coach Aaron Glenn told The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt on Wednesday. Mitchell suffered a finger injury last week during practice and was inactive in the Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. In the 23-year-old's absence, Isaiah Williams played 90% of the offensive snaps but was targeted just twice by quarterback Geno Smith. It sounds like Mitchell is not a lock at all to practice on Wednesday or return to play this Sunday versus the visiting Cleveland Browns. Despite potentially missing multiple games, Mitchell is a worthy bench stash at WR for his elevated role in New York's passing attack when healthy. The former second-rounder by the Indianapolis Colts in 2024 from Texas caught nine of his 15 targets for 123 yards in the first two games of the season as the clear WR2 behind Garrett Wilson in an improved Jets offense. Mitchell might not play again this weekend, but he is still an intriguing upside stash in 2026, especially in PPR leagues.
