• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Gets into end zone in Sunday's win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir caught two of three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals. The Bills' wideouts had even less to do than usual during a cold, snowy game in Buffalo, but Shakir managed to make an impact with an 11-yard TD grab from Josh Allen in the second quarter. It was Shakir's fourth TD of the season, tying his career high, but it was also the third time in the last four games the fourth-year WR failed to reach 20 receiving yards. Shakir will look for better playing conditions and more volume in Week 15 against the Patriots.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Sleeper WRs

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Shakir has been bad in two of his past three games against Tampa Bay in Week 11 and Pittsburgh in Week 13, with 1.5 PPR points or less in each outing. Otherwise, Shakir has scored at least 11.3 PPR points in four of his past six starts, and I expect him to get back on track against the Bengals in Week 14. Surprisingly, this isn't an easy matchup since Cincinnati is No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but hopefully Shakir can avoid cornerback DJ Turner for as much as possible. And if this game becomes a shootout between Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, then Shakir should have plenty of chances to make plays. I'll trust him as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Poor catch rate Sunday

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Shakir had one reception on four targets for five yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers. Shakir struggled with drops, finishing with a season-low catch rate of 25 percent against Pittsburgh's secondary. The four targets still led all Buffalo wide receivers as the team continues searching for reliable auxiliary targets for Josh Allen to throw to. Shakir was fresh off posting a 100-plus yard receiving game in the Week 12 box score, and he remains the top option on the perimeter despite Sunday's putrid effort. Fantasy managers are looking for a bounce-back effort from Shakir in a soft matchup against Cincinnati's defense next Sunday.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: WRs to Start

  15D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  The Bills added Brandin Cooks this week, but he shouldn't impact Shakir, who is the only trustworthy receiver for Buffalo heading into this matchup at Pittsburgh. Shakir has scored at least 11.3 PPR points in four of his past five games, including Week 12 at Houston when he had eight catches for 110 yards on 10 targets. The Steelers are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and six guys in the past four games have scored at least 15.3 PPR points, with five touchdowns. I would start Shakir as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in this matchup.

• Bills' Khalil Shakir: Contrarian DFS Play

  17D ago • By Heath Cummings

  Shakir has eight or more targets in three of his last four games. He is facing a Pittsburgh defense that gives up the most PPR FPPG to opposing wide receivers. He should be a chalk play, but Shakir is never a chalk play.
