Rashid Shaheed sees role as tailback

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed had two carries for 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown in Week 4

In Week 4, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed took on an additional role as a tailback during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He gained two carries for a total of 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown. Coach Mike Macdonald mentioned that Shaheed's involvement was due to the team's shortage of running backs, with rookie RB Jadarian Price on the reserve/injured list and RB Zach Charbonnet still recovering from a torn ACL.

Training camp coach Macdonald noted that Shaheed's role was a strategic move, bringing speed to the team due to Price's absence. Despite this, Shaheed's time as tailback is likely limited, as the team has signed veterans Joe Mixon and Robert Henry Jr. to the practice squad. Therefore, Shaheed is primarily suited for deep fantasy leagues and specialty leagues that value individual return yardage.
