Should You Start or Sit Rashid Shaheed in Week 4?
If you told me a month ago that we’d be getting 4+ catches from Rashid Shaheed on a weekly basis, I would have told you to make sure you get 100% exposure in your drafts.
The volume hasn’t been an issue, but those looks aren’t anything like we’ve seen in the past from this big-play savant. His aDOT has sunk from 18.1 yards to 10.1, and while that has raised his floor to an acceptable level, he’s really not all that interesting of a fantasy option without the threat of the big play (held without a 20-yard reception in two of three games).
I like having Shaheed rostered right now because I buy the player, and if there is eventually a change under center, having access to something new is generally how I play these things.
That said, I don’t view him as a must-roster player anymore, as the single-play upside that made him an intriguing “break glass in case of emergency” type has vanished.
