The Seattle Seahawks will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Rashid Shaheed.
Is Shaheed Playing in Week 10?
Shaheed is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Seahawks’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Shaheed in Week 10?
Rashid Shaheed averages 14.9 yards per catch for his career, and all we’ve wanted is volume to complement his spike play potential.
Had we unlocked it?
Maybe.
He was targeted on 16 of 45 routes run with Tyler Shough under center, a rate that ranks among the elite. The involvement is good to see, though the equation has changed a bit, as he doesn’t have a catch of 20+ air yards from the rookie just yet.
But now the math all changes.
The volume outlook isn’t nearly as optimistic today as it was a week ago, but what Shaheed loses in quantity, he projects to more than make up for in quality.
Sam Darnold Deep Throw Rankings This Season
- YPA: 1st (19.2)
- Fantasy PPG: 2nd (8.0)
- Completion%: 2nd (63.5%)
- Passer Rating: 4th (130.6)
- TD Rate: 4th (13.5%)
I think an adjustment period is likely, but it doesn’t take much. With news of this deal, Shaheed moved up 10 spots in my Week 10 rankings, and now he is a player I’d be comfortable flexing over the likes of DK Metcalf and Jameson Williams.
