Is Rashid Shaheed Limited to a Downfield Role in Seattle?

Friday, March 27, 11:17 AM

After being traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks at the 2025 trade deadline, wide receiver Rashid Shaheed re-signed in Seattle on a three-year, $51 million deal earlier this offseason. While the relatively lucrative pact signals that the Seahawks view Shaheed as an important part of their roster, the 27-year-old's numbers actually fell off quite a bit after being traded. Across nine games with Seattle, Shaheed recorded just 15 catches for 188 yards and zero touchdowns on 26 targets. The Seahawks may have bigger plans for Shaheed in his first full year with the team in 2026. However, star Seattle wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains likely to dominate targets, and the Seahawks have other capable pass-catchers in need of looks, such as wideouts Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton. Shaheed showed signs of becoming a more well-rounded wide receiver towards the end of his run in New Orleans, but his fantasy viability is limited without a similar role shift in Seattle.

Is Luke McCaffrey Still Worth Stashing on Dynasty Benches?

Sunday, March 29, 10:38 AM

When the Washington Commanders spent a third-round pick on former quarterback turned wide receiver Luke McCaffrey in 2024, many fantasy managers feared he may have been over-drafted, but chased the draft capital and spent a late rookie pick on him anyway. Through his first two seasons in the NFL, he's accumulated only 371 yards on 29 receptions, though his usage and production were both on the upswing prior to a season-ending collarbone injury suffered in Week 9. McCaffrey scored the first three touchdowns of his career while averaging 18.5 yards per reception. Between Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz, Washington looks set to enter 2026 without its two highest target-earners from 2025. While a healthy Terry McLaurin and the recently acquired Rachaad White and Chig Okonkwo will certainly help to fill that vacuum, McCaffrey could settle into a meaningful downfield role. In parting ways with Kliff Kingsbury, the Commanders promoted from within, naming 30-year-old assistant quarterbacks coach David Blough as their new offensive coordinator, meaning McCaffrey will have familiarity with the system and a potential inside track to claim some of those vacated looks.
