Rashid Shaheed (knee) doesn’t practice Thursday

Shaheed reportedly avoided a major injury in the collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone in Week 7, an injury that will claim at least one game from the veteran speedster. There’s not really a ton of fantasy value behind Smith-Njigba in Seattle, although veteran Cooper Kupp could see a target or two trickle his way in Shaheed’s absence.

Shaheed is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable heading into Monday evening’s game against the Bears. If he was in your third receiver or second FLEX spot in a 14-team league, it is time to start making other plans.

Macdonald didn’t elaborate on how much time Shaheed could miss, if any, but it doesn’t sound like this is expected to be a long-term injury based on what he had to say on Monday. Shaheed’s impact is largely felt in the punt and kick return game, as he has just 16 receptions for 163 scoreless yards on the season for Seattle. We will update his practice status throughout the week, but Shaheed won’t have any fantasy relevance even if he does suit up next week against the Bears.

Shaheed was involved in a collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone on an interception in the waning moments of the first half and did not retake the field out of the break. Tory Horton received the kickoff to begin the second half, after which Shaheed was deemed questionable to return with a knee injury. Expect Cooper Kupp and Horton to see a small bump in opportunity behind Smith-Njigba for the remainder of the game. Shaheed caught 2-of-3 targets for one yard prior to departing.

The Seahawks’ sporadic producer will be on the field against the Chiefs this week. Shaheed has been involved as a receiver and as a rusher, scoring touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He offers a low floor, but he makes for a viable FLEX starter this week.

Shaheed will be good to go for the Seahawks’ Week 7 game against the Chiefs, barring a setback. Unfortunately, his terribly volatile performances keep him in the boom-bust FLEX tier despite four teams being on bye. For what it’s worth, this could be a fantasy-friendly game environment.

Shaheed was heavily involved in the Seahawks’ high-volume passing game in Week 6. He seemingly came out of the week banged-up and will open this week as a limited practice participant. Shaheed competes with Cooper Kupp for the No. 2 pass-catching role on the team but is only a boom-or-bust option for deep leagues at this point.

Shaheed’s eight targets were a product of 51 Sam Darnold pass attempts in a game the Seahawks could not find any room to run on the ground. He lost a fumble on a fluke play in the second quarter in which he rolled over the tackling defender, only for the defender’s knee to knock the football loose before Shaheed’s rear end touched the playing surface. he would fumble a punt return in the fourth quarter but easily had time to regain control before the ball was in real trouble. Shaheed remains the third option through the air for an offense typically not seeing this level of volume, making him a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option, for the time being. That doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Chiefs in Seattle.

It wasn’t a ton of volume, but it was easily Shaheed’s biggest offensive day of the year. He took a pitch for a touchdown for his first score of 2026. He was once again not involved in the passing game, however, and he didn’t do much as a returner again, as well. Shaheed will be back in action — and should not be in lineups — against the 49ers in Week 5.

Once again, Shaheed didn’t make an impact, with his biggest play being a drop that resulted in a first down because of a questionable personal foul after the play. The 28-year-old also hasn’t made an impact on special teams, and while his big-play ability is almost assuredly still there, fantasy managers can’t count on it right now. A chance to get going comes in Week 4 versus the Chargers at home.
