Rashid Shaheed Sets Seahawks Highs for Second Straight WeekSeahawks WR Rashid Shaheed tallied 5 receptions for 74 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Colts. All three numbers marked personal bests since he arrived in Seattle ahead of the Week 10 win over Arizona. Shaheed matched WR Cooper Kupp in targets and catches against Indy and beat him in yards. Both guys trailed WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's lead in each category.
Sam Darnold completed 22-of-37 attempts for 271 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win against the Colts, adding four rushes for five yards.Darnold struggled again with pressure and appeared flustered any time Colts pass rushers broke through the offensive line and Jaxon Smith-Njigba wasn't immediately wide open. Besides a three-touchdown, highly accurate performance against Atlanta in Week 14, Darold's play has dropped off over the past month. That hasn't affected JSN's fantasy production, thankfully. In Week 16 Darnold will go against a Rams defense that has given him fits over his past three matchups against them. Darnold had zero touchdowns and four interceptions in Seattle's mid-November loss to LA. He should not be started one-QB leagues against the Rams.
Cooper Kupp caught 5-of-7 targets for 46 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win against the Colts.It was another low-volume outing for the Seahawks' pass offense, and Kupp was an afterthought behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as usual. Kupp was third in receiving yards behind JSN and Rasheed Shahid, who had 74 yards. Kupp, who has more than 50 receiving yards in just three games this season, profiles as a desperation second flex option for Week 16 against the Rams, his former team. He had 23 yards on three receptions the last time Seattle played the Rams.
