Kyle Soppe highlights Rashid Shaheed as a late-round fantasy pick for Seattle
Summary

Rashid Shaheed of the Seattle Seahawks is being targeted as a worthwhile late-round pick in fantasy drafts by PFN’s Kyle Soppe. After struggling to find a role following his trade to Seattle, Shaheed averaged just three targets per game. However, a full offseason with the team and a potential increase in his workload could lead to significant production this season, particularly with quarterback Sam Darnold expected to utilize Shaheed's speed in the passing game. As Shaheed is currently being drafted around WR56, he represents a low-risk choice with potential upside.
