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.

Xavier Worthy Falls to WR50 in Dynasty Leagues

Friday, April 3, 5:07 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy continues to be an unappealing option in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Worthy played in 14 games last season, amassing just 42 catches, 532 yards, and one receiving touchdown. He finished the year as the overall WR59, which was a significant step backward from his WR33 finish as a rookie in 2024. His rookie season showed that he's capable of being a top-36 fantasy receiver, but whether he'll actually be able to reproduce that type of campaign in the future remains uncertain. There was a perfect opportunity for Worthy to break out as Rashee Rice missed nine games due to suspension and injury, but the Texas product failed to live up to expectations. Going forward, there are rumblings that Rice may be suspended again. Worthy averaged 12.8 fantasy points (PPR) per game when he was healthy and Rice was suspended last year, but as soon as Rice came back, Worthy's fantasy production dwindled. The 22-year-old still projects as the No. 2 receiver in Kansas City long-term, and that's not good for his dynasty outlook. He currently ranks #50 among receivers in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
