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.

Tetairoa McMillan Headed for a Big Year 2?

Thursday, March 26, 5:55 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a very impressive rookie season, and he could be due for a Year 2 breakout in 2026. McMillan didn't find the end zone until Week 6 last year, but he still finished the season with seven touchdowns, as well as 70 catches and 1,014 receiving yards. These stats resulted in an impressive WR16 finish for the Arizona product in PPR leagues. He ultimately won Offensive Rookie of the Year and could be due for another major step forward with offensive coordinator Brad Idzik set to take over play-calling duties next year. McMillan fetched more than 25% of quarterback Bryce Young's targets in 2025, and that proportion should remain consistent as Young attempts to take a step forward of his own next year. Even after a dominant rookie season, McMillan might still be underpriced in dynasty fantasy football, making him an appealing trade target going forward. He can be a top-12 receiver in redraft leagues next year, and he possesses real top-five upside in dynasty formats.
