Rashid Shaheed will be a factor in the backfield. Seattle debuted a Deebo Samuel-esque package against the Chargers, welcoming speedy wideout Rashid Shaheed to the backfield and using him like a running back. Shaheed scored on a toss against Los Angeles and looked like the explosive player Seattle paid him to be. With the Seahawks seemingly signing any running back they can get their hands on, expect to see Shaheed used more in key moments to generate explosives against a stout 49ers run defense.
