Rashid Shaheed News
Sunday, August 23, 6:16 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed should be a major factor in the team's offense this season. Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seahawks last season and was unproductive as a receiver. Across 12 games, including the postseason, he caught 18 of 36 targets for 266 yards and no touchdowns, averaging under three fantasy points per game. With a full offseason with quarterback Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense, Shaheed should be able to contribute much more. Seahawks beat writer Justin Melo praised Shaheed, saying, "The sky is the limit for Shaheed in Brian Fleury's offense this season, and it's exciting to see him making plays at camp." Currently ranked WR56 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Shaheed offers a ton of upside in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

De'Zhaun Stribling News
Tuesday, September 1, 6:10 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling has been one of the most exciting players to emerge this preseason, stepping up as a key contributor in the team's receiving corps while other receivers battled injury. Ricky Pearsall (knee) was placed on season-ending IR, while Christian Kirk (calf) will also start the year on injured reserve but could return after Week 4. The second-round pick from Ole Miss will begin the year in a starting role alongside Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel, and the rookie could make an immediate impact based on his preseason usage and success. He caught 11 of his 13 targets for 109 yards in his first two preseason games before sitting out the team's third and final preseason contest with the rest of the starters. Stribling's draft stock is sky-rocketing, and he is the WR50 in RotoBaller's rankings. If you can grab him as a bench option in the middle rounds, he could still bring great value if he emerges as one of the go-to options in coach Kyle Shanahan's typically productive passing game.
