Rashid Shaheed News
Sunday, August 23, 6:16 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed should be a major factor in the team's offense this season. Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seahawks last season and was unproductive as a receiver. Across 12 games, including the postseason, he caught 18 of 36 targets for 266 yards and no touchdowns, averaging under three fantasy points per game. With a full offseason with quarterback Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense, Shaheed should be able to contribute much more. Seahawks beat writer Justin Melo praised Shaheed, saying, "The sky is the limit for Shaheed in Brian Fleury's offense this season, and it's exciting to see him making plays at camp." Currently ranked WR56 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Shaheed offers a ton of upside in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Xavier Worthy News
Thursday, August 27, 12:19 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is coming off an underwhelming 2025 campaign in which he recorded 42 catches for 532 yards and a touchdown on 73 targets across 14 games. Worthy suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 that he played through for much of the season, which may have been one of the reasons why his production was subpar. Unfortunately for Worthy, he suffered another shoulder injury early in training camp that has limited him throughout the summer. While the current shoulder issue is not expected to cause Worthy to miss regular-season time, it's still a bit of a red flag. Worthy may also see a somewhat diminished role in the Chiefs' offense in 2026 if the team can get more out of top wide receiver Rashee Rice, who missed nine games in 2025. Worthy still carries some upside due to his elite speed as he enters his third NFL season, but he should be viewed as a mid-tier WR4/flex option entering 2026.
