• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Leading WR on Sunday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir had eight receptions on 12 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-21 victory over the Chiefs. Shakir finished as the Bills' leading receiver in a decisive victory over another conference contender. The 24-year-old has blossomed into a consistent fantasy asset in his third year. Through 10 games this season, Shakir is just 12 yards shy of matching his entire production during the 2023 regular season in seven fewer games. The receiver's lack of touchdowns (two) has kept him from becoming a certified fantasy breakout as the Bills enter a bye week.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Busiest pass catcher in win

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir brought in six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. Shakir recorded team-high reception and target numbers while checking in second in receiving yards. Shakir primarily works in a short-area role but did log a 30-yard catch Sunday, and he now has at least six receptions in four consecutive contests. Shakir will look to record his first touchdown catch since Week 3 in a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: WRs to Start

  Amari Cooper (wrist) could return for the Bills in Week 10 at Indianapolis after he was out in Week 9 against Miami, but Keon Coleman (wrist) might be out against the Colts after he missed practice Wednesday. Shakir has been the mainstay for Josh Allen, especially of late, and he comes into Week 10 with quality production in three games in a row. Over that span, Shakir has 22 catches for 222 on 24 targets, and he scored at least 13.5 PPR points in two of those outings. He had at least seven targets in each of those games, and there have been nine receivers with at least seven targets against the Colts this year. Seven of those receivers have scored at least 12.7 PPR points, and I expect Shakir to do the same if he continues to remain a focal point for Allen.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Typical production in Week 9 win

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir caught six of seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. Shakir finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Ray Davis (70), who got the vast majority of his production on a 63-yard touchdown catch. The Bills were without wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) for this one, but that didn't meaningfully affect Shakir, who is averaging 5.3 catches for 58.9 receiving yards per game heading into a Week 10 road game against the Colts.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Could be team's top wideout Sunday

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir, receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid are expected to operate as quarterback Josh Allen's primary options in the passing game Sunday against the Dolphins due to Amari Cooper (wrist) being inactive for the contest, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. The absence of Cooper may not necessarily result in an improved outlook for Shakir in Week 9; the third-year wideout had actually posted his two highest catch and target totals of the season (7-65-0 receiving line on seven targets in Week 7, 9-107-0 on 10 targets in Week 8) in the Bills' first two games following the acquisition of Cooper from the Browns. That being said, the opportunity for Shakir to play more snaps should be available with Cooper out of the mix, and if the Bills find themselves in a negative game script and end up eschewing the run in the second half, Shakir would presumably benefit to some degree.
