Outlook Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed at Denver — Low-Volume Gadget Role Limits Standalone Appeal
Shaheed starts on the perimeter alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but Seattle has also utilized his collegiate running back background to engineer touches from the backfield. Despite recent manufactured touches, consistent target volume remains elusive, as he has totaled only three receptions on seven targets over his last two games.
In a projected low-scoring road battle with Denver, Shaheed carries a precarious floor. Our weekly projection anticipates 5.8 fantasy points on around three targets, which aligns with his 10% start rate across fantasy leagues. Unless he connects on a deep shot or converts a splash play, fantasy managers should look elsewhere this week.

Outlook Quentin Johnston
Quentin Johnston at Kansas City — Volatile Floor in Arrowhead
Johnston was limited by a chest issue earlier in the week but enters Sunday healthy as a starting perimeter receiver for Los Angeles. However, his on-field involvement has cratered after he went without a target last week against Denver, compounded by multiple offensive tackle absences testing Justin Herbert's protection.
Manager trust has evaporated with his roster rate tumbling to 34% and start percentage down to 3%. Fellow wideout Tre' Harris has been ruled out, which could open up routes, but our projection expects just 2.4 catches for 35 yards on five targets (7.2 fantasy points). Facing an undefeated Kansas City squad as 7.5-point road underdogs, Johnston remains firmly a bench option.
