Seahawks planned to use WR Rashid Shaheed at RB in Week 4

Oct 06, 2026

With the Seahawks thin at running back on Sunday, they deployed receiver Rashid Shaheed in the backfield.

He got two carries for 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run.

It wasn’t something the Seahawks cooked up this week, with Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still not all the way back from a torn ACL suffered in January.

“We’ve had that in all [training] camp,” coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday. “This isn’t a quote from [offensive coordinator Brian] Fleury, but felt like it was appropriate because of [Price] going down, he gave us some speed. That was cool.”

Related players: Emanuel Wilson, Joe Mixon

Fantasy Impact:

Now the question becomes will the team continue to give Shaheed carries. The Seahawks recently signed Mixon, and Charbonnet could be on his way back to the lineup sooner than later. Wilson proved last week he can work as the team's RB1. The 49ers have shown with Deebo Samuel that using your WR at RB can be a nice option for your offense, however many teams have tried to copy and it hasn't worked out. Shaheed has just seven catches for 73 yards and has three total carries this season. He's not necessarily safe for fantasy lineups until we see him get more touches, but this could be a way he gets more work.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) week to week

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered week-to-week with his hamstring injury, per me and Mike Garafolo. It’s not considered to be a long-term injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for the Eagles overall, but it's bad news for the short term. Barkley's status is in doubt for Week 5, a game in London against the Jags. We already know Bigsby is going to miss up to six weeks so it leaves the Eagles run game pretty shorthanded. Shipley would likely work as the main back. Blue, Steele and Pierce are on the team's practice squad and could get elevated leading up to the game. Eagles could look for other options as well. It's a situation to monitor leading up to Week 5.

Seahawks signing RB Joe Mixon

Seattle’s plan is to sign Joe Mixon to its practice squad when he completes his medical exam, which he still is doing, per sources.

Fantasy Impact:

The Seahawks bring in the veteran Mixon with Price now on IR. Wilson seems to have taken over the lead back duties with Holani the change of pace. It was announced the team opened the 21-day window for Charbonnet, so help is definitely on the way in the Seattle backfield, which could end up being a bit of a mess in a week or two. Wilson is at least safe for the short team as the team's lead back after putting up lines of 21-81-1 rushing and 3-39-1 in the receiving game. Mixon seems like more of an RB3 bridge until Charbonnet returns, and at that point, if Wilson is still playing the way he has, Charbonnet may see a similar role when the team had Kenneth Walker. The bad news seems to be for Price owners, who after fumbling problems and now being on IR, his role has some questions marks around going forward.

Cardinals Beat: Team seems to be managing RB Jeremiyah Love

Pro Football Talk

yesterday · 6:02 PM EDT

Jeremiyah Love had 30 snaps on Sunday. Tyler Allgeier had 36. Love finished with 14 carries for 62 yards; Allgeier had eight for 42.

Whatever the reason, Love isn’t consistently where he’d like to be. It seems that the ankle is still something of an issue, even if he insists it isn’t.

Officially, it’s not the ankle. Although Love was limited throughout the practice week before the regular-season opener against the Chargers, Love has not appeared on the injury report since then.

Fantasy Impact:

UPDATE: After posting this news story from PFT, it's been announced Love tweaked his other ankle in Week 4.

When the game was on the line, it was Allgeier on the field instead of Love. Love had just 11 snaps in the second half the story said. Love seems frustrated with the management and wants to be on the field more and did dance around the ankle injury topic, indicating it may still be an issue even if it's not preventing him from playing. The days of Love being the workhorse back are probably coming in the future, and it seems to be part of the Cardinals plan all along to at least manage Love through his rookie season.
