Rashid Shaheed News
Friday, May 29, 6:03 AM
Following a mid-season trade from the Saints, Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed saw most of his impact in Seattle come on explosive special teams plays, while he was limited to only 15 receptions for 188 yards in his first nine games with the team. Prior to the trade, Shaheed's 17-game pace with New Orleans was for 943 yards on 83 catches, and in signing him to a three-year, $51 million deal this offseason, the belief in Seattle appears to be that he can return to similar form with a full year in the system. The Seahawks had two or fewer receivers on the field at one of the league's highest rates in 2025, so the spot opposite Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba can be incredibly fruitful for fantasy. Shaheed's primary competition for the job is a soon-to-be-33-year-old Cooper Kupp and 2025 fifth-round pick Tory Horton, who showed promise as a rookie but saw his season ended by a lingering shin injury after only eight games. Shaheed is RotoBaller's dynasty WR83, but with long-term security within one of the league's most well-run organizations and a high-value fantasy role seemingly his to win, he could be viewed as one of the most underpriced buy candidates heading into 2026.

Matthew Golden News
Thursday, June 11, 4:32 PM
On the first day of mandatory minicamp on Thursday, Green Bay Packers second-year wide receiver Matthew Golden lined up across from Christian Watson in a two-receiver set, according to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated. Golden came into the NFL last year with high expectations after the Packers selected him 23rd overall out of the University of Texas. The 22-year-old was then hyped up plenty during training camp and the preseason, only to disappoint in his rookie campaign in a crowded receiving corps in Green Bay. He caught 29 passes for 361 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (five starts). Golden is trending back up again this spring, and he'll have a much bigger opportunity to carve out a consistent role in the passing attack now that Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are out of town. Watson is the team's clear WR1 with big-play ability, and the Packers also still have the versatile Jayden Reed, but both wideouts have dealt with their fair share of injuries early in their careers. Even if both Watson and Reed stay on the field, Golden will be a popular Year 2 breakout candidate. He can be had at a discount, too, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 51 fantasy WR for the 2026 season.
