Are all batteries the same?
That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No, just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats, because they're built different. And Messi only trusts Duracell.

Yes, it is time to unveil our favorite wide receiver sleepers for the season. A bit of a twist this year. Yes, we are including your home league drafts in this conversation. So here are the parameters, okay? Each of these names has to be picked 120 or later. That's the end of the 10th round, either on Underdog or on Yahoo, and even sometimes both, because we want to include everyone here. Hayden, kick us off. Who's your favorite wide receiver sleeper this season?

**Hayden** (1:34)
I got Rashid Shaheed from the Seahawks. This off season, he signs a $51 million deal.
Three years, a lot of guaranteed money. It was actually even more money than Kenneth Walker signed with the Chiefs. The Seahawks told us with their own dollars that Rashid Shaheed is more valuable than Kenneth Walker. I'm paying attention. Remember, they also traded a third round pick, did not have a great season on the Seahawks in terms of his receiving work. But if you go back to the Saints days, he had a 15-game stretch from 2024 to 2025
In those 15 games, he had 57 yards per game. He was the wide receiver 38 and wide receiver 30 usage. That was with Spencer Rattler and the injured version of Derek Carr as the quarterback. So I think on a baseline level, when he's being drafted as wide receiver 57 right now, I think that there's like a baseline projection, a positive case for him. And then you obviously have the contingent value for something that ever happens to JSN, who just had like a ridiculous like 35% target share. I think that can drop down a little bit. I get Shaheed more involved. I wouldn't expect Cooper Cup to be all that involved, especially if something happened to JSN. And then we also got ESPN's Jeremy Fowler just a couple of days ago, saying that Shaheed had a major spring. He and Sam Darnold are hitting it off, which makes sense just based off how those two skill sets overlap. They're going to give him more short and intermediate stuff. He's going to be a big time player. I think that that last part there, the short intermediate stuff, he hasn't done that a whole lot in the pros.
Yep. Just watching him and Josh, you probably agree with me.
He's got that start stop ability where I do think in the right offense, if you do sprinkle in some of that stuff, I do think there's more value in that. I'm hoping that we're not just going to have this huge downfield role for him. I think that will pay off in best ball. But I do think there's a pathway by week, wide receiver four, wide receiver three, where you can throw them into your starting lineup. If he gets a couple more screens, couple of little shallow crosses and runs after the wind, I think there's a chance here.

This is one of my favorite picks of the year too. He's the fifth pick of the 12th round on Underdog and then one pick later over on Yahoo. So the same exact spot in both drafts at this very moment.
I think there was some frustration last year because he and Clint Kubiak had a history in New Orleans when that offense with Alavi was one of the best in the league for the first three or four years of that partnership. And then when he goes to New Orleans, you think to yourself, oh, he knows the offense. He's just going to immediately be inputted into the team. And that just wasn't the case. Obviously, the special team's impact was massive. And you could argue that played a major part just getting them one of the top overall seeds in the playoffs and then obviously getting a Super Bowl ring at the end of it. But the receiver production since joining Seattle was extremely minimal. I mean, 15 of 26 targets he caught in the regular season for just 188 yards since joining the Seahawks. Obviously, in the playoffs, he had three catches for 78 yards, but he went from being targeted on 22% of his routes in New Orleans down to 14% this last year. So let me ask you this, right?
