Dynasty | The Seahawks have signed wide receiver Laviska Shenault. Dynasty Analysis: Amazingly, Shenault's career has turned into that resembling nothing more than a kick returner at this point. It looks like he'll serve in that capacity for the Seahawks after failing to develop as a wide receiver in Jacksonville or Carolina. More name than game at this point, Shenault should be on dynasty waiver wires moving forward unless Seattle gets buried with injuries.

Free-agent wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is signing with the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN reporter Brady Henderson. Shenault was originally a second-round pick in 2020 by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Colorado, but he has not found his footing over the first four seasons of his career. The 25-year-old posted at least 600 receiving yards in each of his two seasons with the Jagaurs but totaled just 332 yards in 21 games during his two-year stint with the Carolina Panthers. With DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the roster, it'd be a big surprise if he's a fantasy-relevant player in 2024. Assuming he makes the 53-man roster, he'll likely be utilized as a depth player and a special teamer.

The Carolina Panthers placed wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which means he'll have to miss at least the next four games. With just six games remaining in the regular season, there's a good chance Shenault has played his last game in 2023. The 25-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 6 but only missed three games with a bye mixed in. However, Shenault suffered a new ankle injury in the Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans and will now miss at least the next four games. He hasn't been on the fantasy radar this year with only 10 receptions for 60 yards while adding 12 carries for 55 yards. With Shenault out, Terrace Marshall Jr. has the clearest path to WR4 duties in Carolina behind Adam Thielen, DJ Chark Jr. and rookie Jonathan Mingo.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) didn't return to the Week 12 loss the Titans. The wideout returned briefly after sustaining an ankle injury. However, he was eventually ruled out, finishing the day with one catch for eight yards. Shenault hasn't been much of a factor for fantasy managers throughout the 2023-24 campaign, catching only nine passes for 52 yards. Considering he's been banged up of late, there's a chance he won't play in Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That said, his absence will have a minimal impact on anything outside of the special teams unit.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) returned to a full practice on Friday but remains questionable to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Shenault has a chance to return to action this weekend after missing the last three games. But if he does make it back to play against Dallas, the Panthers are prepared to limit his snaps, making him avoidable in all fantasy starting lineups as a depth option and nothing more. In six games played for the Panthers in 2023, the 25-year-old has hauled in all seven of his targets for just 43 yards and no touchdowns. Shenault remains off the fantasy radar for now.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Shenault has missed the last three games for the Panthers while nursing an ankle injury. But his limited practice reps to begin the week is a good sign for his availability in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice status before Sunday's game. Even if he suits up, though, he should likely only be started in extremely deep leagues. The 25-year-old wideout has just seven catches for 43 yards on the year.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) is being listed as doubtful for the Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears, while wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out again. Chark was questionable to play in Week 9 with his elbow injury but managed to suit up and catch a touchdown in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. However, on a short week, the 27-year-old is most likely going to sit Thursday night's game out against Chicago. It means that rookie Jonathan Mingo will be the No. 2 wideout for Carolina behind target hog Adam Thielen, while Terrace Marshall Jr. should also have an expanded role. Still, it's hard to trust any Panthers pass-catcher beyond Thielen this year given the inconsistent nature of this offense that's led by rookie quarterback Bryce Young.
