  "account": "In the later rounds of fantasy football drafts, the goal is to secure players with upside rather than focusing on safety. PFN's Kyle Soppe highlights Rashid Shaheed, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, as that perfect late-round swing. Despite posting an ugly line of 15 catches for 188 yards and no touchdowns after his midseason trade to Seattle, Shaheed's talent is evident. The key to Shaheed's success lies in the role he's been given. Prior to joining Seattle, Shaheed was averaging 11.6 points per game in New Orleans, ranking second in targets on the Saints, and was a top-25 fantasy receiver through five weeks in 2024 before a knee injury. What sets Shaheed apart is the role he's been given in Seattle. With an additional offseason and a new quarterback in Sam Darnold, Shaheed is set to see more short and intermediate work beyond his usual deep routes. Darnold's ability to push the ball downfield aligns perfectly with Shaheed's game, which is built on speed. As the role and responsibilities grow, Shaheed's weekly value will increase, making him a solid WR2 choice. The price of Shaheed is also attractive, going around WR56, making this a dart throw at the end of a draft worth making.",
  "summary": "The later rounds are where you stop drafting for safety and start drafting for upside. The best late picks are cheap swings at a player whose role could climb.",
