Seahawks' Top Receivers Ready to Dominate | NFL News

0:00On September 2nd, alright, let's talk about the Seattle Seahawks receiving core heading into the 2026 season. Even without Kenneth Walker, the weapon Sam Donald has at his disposal are pretty potent. We're talking about Jackson Smith and Jigba, who's being called arguably the best receiver in the league, and the veteran Cooper Cup who still knows how. To get open and make plays, then there's Rashid Shaheed. He's transitioning from a special team standout to a real offensive threat in 2026. These guys, along with others like Tori Horton, are looking good, but how do they stack up against the rest of the NFL? According to CBS Sports, the Seahawks receiver room is ranked sixth overall out of 32 teams. That's a pretty solid spot, especially considering the praise for J.S. and Shaheed's deep threat ability. The article notes that injuries further down the death chart kept them from ranking even higher. With a new offensive coordinator, Brian Flurry, and Sam Donald back at quarterback, there's a good chance this passing game can really move the ball.

A sixth ranked receiver group is definitely something fans can be excited about heading into the season. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI.
