Rashid Shaheed start or sit: Week 10 fantasy football advice

Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue this afternoon with an NFC West showdown featuring the Arizona Cardinals visiting the Seattle Seahawks at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Seahawks have rattled off three straight wins and pummeled the Commanders 38-14 last Sunday to maintain their spot atop the NFC West standings. The team then went out and added even more wide receiver depth at Tuesday’s trade deadline with the acquisition of Rasheed Shaheed from the Saints.

Below, we’ll go over Shaheed’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 10.

Shaheed was one of the lone bright spots for a miserable 1-8 Saints squad and was the team’s second-best receiver behind Chris Olave through nine games. The former undrafted free agent was on pace to having a career season with the Saints, hauling in 44 receptions for 499 receiving yards and two touchdowns through nine games. With an ADP in the low-50’s heading into the season, he’s actually played his with into being a Flex/low-WR2 option for fantasy managers this season.

The good news for Shaheed managers is that he’s joining a Seahawks offense that is on fire right now with Sam Darnold dealing. The bad news is that he’s joining an offense that is already loaded with weapons like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kenneth Walker III, and Cooper Kupp, potentially dinging some of his fantasy value. He’ll still factor in as a big-play weapon for Darnold down the stretch, so we’ll see how he’s utilized in his debut this afternoon.

Sit. Shaheed just joined the team a few days ago and he’ll need some more time to get acclimated in a new scheme. I’d pump the breaks on starting him until his role within the Seahawks offense becomes more established.
