News: 5 days agoShaheed caught one of three targets for seven yards and churned out 43 yards on three punt returns in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.

Spin: Shaheed was once again a non-factor on offense in Week 13, reeling in a pass for seven yards in the second quarter. After securing at least four passes in all nine of his contests with the Saints prior to being traded, the wide receiver has had only one multi-reception performance with Seattle, catching four of 11 targets for 37 yards over four games with the team. Shaheed will look to be more involved on offense in Week 14 against Atlanta.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Shaheed enters his fourth NFL season as a bit of a tricky evaluation after he was in the midst of a breakout 2024 campaign prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 6. Arguably the team's No. 1 WR to that point, Shaheed paced the Saints in targets (6.8 per game) and had also produced 29 yards on six carries. His 13.3 fantasy PPG ranked 34th among WRs and he hit the 15-point mark in four of his six games. One of the game's top deep threats and a contributor as a rusher and returner, Shaheed very well could find his way to weekly fantasy relevance in a similar way as Deebo Samuel Sr., albeit with more vertical work. Of course, he's yet to show that level of production over a full season and he'll need to fend off Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and now Brandin Cooks for work in an offense that will have Spencer Rattler and/or rookie QB Tyler Shough under center. Shaheed is a fine late-round lottery ticket.
