2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Jaguars traded Shenault to the Panthers late last August, and despite occasionally flashing his playmaking ability, he finished the campaign with only 27 catches (on 32 targets) for 272 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. While he also rushed nine times for 65 yards and another score, he could find his opportunities similarly limited in 2023. Carolina dealt No. 1 wideout DJ Moore to Chicago this offseason, but the team replaced him with veterans Adam Thielen and DJ Chark and rookie second-rounder Jonathan Mingo. As a result, Shenault may have to settle for spare involvement as a depth utility option. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Joining Seattle's WR corps
The Seahawks are in line to sign Shenault (ankle), Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Before landing on IR this past November due to an ankle injury, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards, while also returning six kickoffs for 167 yards in eight regular-season games with the Panthers. Now presumably past his injury, the 2020 second-rounder will provide wideout depth for the Seahawks behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though initially Shenault's primary impact figures to come as a returner.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get a shot on special teams
Shenault could be used as the punt returner in Week 2 against the Giants if Shi Smith is unable to play, according to Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site.
ANALYSIS
Shenault sat out Carolina's season opener as he was still learning the playbook after being acquired in a trade from Jacksonville. His special-teams prowess could help Shenault see the field in Week 2, and he would likely get some use on offense as well if he dresses since Smith played regularly in three-receiver sets in Week 1. Smith is questionable due to a groin injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
A 2020 second-round pick, Shenault failed to take a step forward last year with the Jaguars and finished his sophomore campaign with 63 catches for 619 yards and zero touchdowns. Following his August trade to the Panthers, he won't necessarily have a clear path to a regular spot in three-wide sets in Carolina, but the 24-year-old will at least give the team a versatile weapon who's capable of lining up all over the formation. DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson are locked into starting roles on the outside, but Shenault should provide competition in the slot for Terrace Marshall, who is coming off a disappointing rookie season.
