News: 11 hours agoShaheed caught two passes on three targets for 14 yards during the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday, He also returned three punts for 29 yards and added 63 yards on two kickoff returns.

Spin: Shaheed continued to operate as the Seahawks' primary returner on special teams, and his 31 offensive snaps were third-most among Seattle wide receivers behind Jaxson Smith-Njigba (58) and Cooper Kupp (45). Shaheed has yet to find the end zone this season, with his last touchdown taking place in the 2025 NFC divisional round against the 49ers, when he took the game's opening kickoff 95 yards to the house. The Seahawks will play five of their next six games at home, starting this Sunday against the winless Chargers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Shaheed re-signed with Seattle after the team acquired him at last year's trade deadline. Known primarily for his elite return ability, Shaheed made an impact at times as a receiver with New Orleans, but wasn't used much on offense after the trade. In 12 games with the Seahawks (including the playoffs), Shaheed cleared three touches in only two games and averaged 5.9 fantasy PPG. The team's financial investment in Shaheed suggests his role will expand in 2026, but he still has to fend off Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and second-year WR Tory Horton for snaps and targets. Shaheed enters his age-28 season yet to deliver a top-35 fantasy campaign, and he's unlikely to get there this season while also focusing on special teams and working in Seattle's low-pass-volume offense.
