The Seattle Seahawks anticipate identifying their second-leading receiver for the upcoming season, currently projected behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who led the NFL last season with 1,793 receiving yards. In 2025, Cooper Kupp had 593 yards, while tight end AJ Barner closely followed with 519 yards. Both Kupp and Barner are contenders for this role, but Rashid Shaheed is also in the mix and expected to have a significant impact following a full offseason. Each player's performance will be critical as Sam Darnold directs the passing game.
