Rashid Shaheed News
Sunday, March 8, 9:32 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects the Las Vegas Raiders to make a run at Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, "depending on how the dominoes in the receiver market fall and the price point." New Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak "loves" Shaheed after working with him in the second half of last year, after the Seahawks acquired him in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints. However, Fowler points out that Vegas' bigger need is the offensive line. The Raiders could definitely use some upgrades at the wideout position for their expected new franchise quarterback in Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, especially after trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Shaheed, 27, only had 15 catches on 26 targets for 188 yards and no touchdowns in nine regular-season games in Seattle, although he does also have electric special teams capabilities as a return man. Shaheed is going to be a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy wherever he lands.

Matthew Golden News
Tuesday, February 17, 9:14 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a disappointing first year in the NFL in 2025 after he was taken with the 23rd overall pick out of Texas. The 22-year-old caught 29 passes for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games on just 44 targets. It was surprising that he had so few targets, especially with tight end Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL in Week 9. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman expects Golden "to be a much bigger part of the game plan next season" in his sophomore season. It would be premature to expect Golden to be above Christian Watson or Jayden Reed in the pecking order, but Schneidman "wouldn't hesitate to use him over Dontayvion Wicks." Romeo Doubs is expected to depart in free agency, opening up a big role in the passing attack for Golden. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't sell low on him, and he could end up being a nice value pick in redraft fantasy leagues this fall.
