STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Shaheed's punt return average fell to 9.7 yards; vertical usage remains minimal.

Shaheed's special teams production has also declined. His punt-return average dropped from 16.2 yards in 2025 to 9.7 yards this season, though this is a three-game sample. More critically, his receiving usage doesn't align with the contract's WR2 expectation. Seven of his 12 targets have traveled fewer than 10 yards, and he has zero completions on passes of 20-plus yards, indicating Seattle is not using his speed to threaten defenses vertically—the core value proposition of the deal.
