Rashid Shaheed Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR39 last season at 8.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR94 at 3.9 PPR points per game, against 8.7 over 18 games last season (WR39). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 38th of 142 in target volume (16.3% target share), 39th of 142 in downfield role (22.0% air-yards share) and 64th of 142 in efficiency (1.50 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Efficiency is the soft spot. Drew Lock is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Tory Horton next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Shaheed posted career-high volume in 2025, playing 18 games on a 90.7 percent route rate and turning a 16.3 percent target share into 59 catches for 687 yards and two scores (97.6 points, WR38). The profile remains explosive and downfield: 11.45 air yards per target, a 22 percent air-yards share and a 0.398 WOPR, with a perfect 0.0 percent drop rate on 92 looks. But efficiency dipped, as a -0.047 EPA per play and 45.7 percent success rate trailed his 2023 Saints form (719 yards, five TDs, 0.161 EPA).
The undrafted Weber State product (rookie 2022) now works a deep Seattle perimeter, where his 11.6 yards per catch and big-play knack give weekly spike potential but a thin floor on a 64.1 percent catch rate. With only nine red-zone targets, his scoring stays volatile. He is a WR3/flex and best-ball favorite whose splash games carry roster-altering ceiling, but inconsistent target quality keeps him out of the must-start tier.
