Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Tyler Warren

Tuesday, December 30, 10:57 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/kick returner Rashid Shaheed (concussion) was listed as limited in Tuesday's practice session, according to Josh Dubow of The Associated Press. Shaheed is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. It's good news that the 27-year-old wideout was on the field on Tuesday, but he has some boxes to check before he can get cleared before Saturday night's big divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. If Shaheed doesn't get cleared to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale, it would open up Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo, Dareke Young, and AJ Barner for more targets in the passing game. When healthy, Shaheed is a boom/bust deep threat for Seattle, who has been hard to trust as a WR4/flex in fantasy. In his eight games with Seattle, he has 14 receptions on 25 targets for 186 yards and no touchdowns.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has had a very solid rookie season overall in 2025, recording 66 catches for 748 yards and four touchdowns on 99 targets across 15 games. However, the 23-year-old has hit a dry spell of late, averaging just 2.8 receptions and 21.5 receiving yards per game over his last four contests. On the bright side, Warren has remained a featured pass-catcher in the two games since Philip Rivers has taken over as the starting quarterback in Indianapolis. Rivers has targeted Warren 15 times, including nine in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. Still, Warren has turned those targets from Rivers into just six receptions for 49 yards. In Week 17, the Colts will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville has allowed some passing production this season, entering the week ranked 18th in the NFL in total passing yards allowed (3,492) and 27th in passing touchdowns allowed (26). Still, fantasy managers may find Warren difficult to trust given his recent lack of production. Overall, he profiles as a borderline fantasy TE1 in Week 17.
