If you want consistency, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir will deliver. Buffalo's slot receiver has failed to reach double-digit PPR fantasy points twice: Once in his first game back from an ankle injury and once in a snowstorm. That's led to Shakir's current standing as the WR25. He has a target share north of 23% and maintains his status as Josh Allen's favorite wide receiver. A blowout will be the primary concern for Shakir's fantasy managers. The Bills are a 14-point home favorite and could take their foot off the gas earlier than usual. Shakir ranks as a low-end, but safe, WR2.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of his seven targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The Bills tallied 559 offensive yards and Josh Allen threw for 362, so Shakir's total was a bit disappointing. However, the slot receiver found the end zone on a three-yard flip coming across the formation to save his day. It's the second time Shakir has scored in as many weeks and his fourth this season. The 24-year-old will be in the flex conversation next week when the Bills host the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir enters Week 15 as the WR22 this season and has been reliably safe for fantasy managers. He's scored under double-digit PPR points once (snow game) since Week 6 and twice this season. Shakir leads Buffalo in targets (81), receptions (65), and yards (735) this season. Touchdowns (three) have been his Achilles heel, although the slot receiver did score on a long catch-and-run a week ago. The Lions are weaker against the pass than the run and are beatable via the slot. In what projects as a shootout, there is little downside to Shakir's outlook this week.
Dec 13, 2024 4:53 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught five passes for 106 yards and one touchdown in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Shakir led the Bills in receiving yards. His total was one yard shy of his season-high mark. Shakir's touchdown came deep in the third quarter when the slot receiver took a short completion and sprinted past defenders for 51 yards. It was his first score since Week 3. He later caught a 34-yard pass to the Rams' one-yard line. Shakir will be in the flex conversation again when the Bills travel to Detroit next week.
Dec 8, 2024 9:02 PM EST
Fantasy managers needing a steady hand at wide receiver should look at Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir in Week 14. Outside of last week's snow bowl, the slot receiver has no fewer than six receptions in every game since Week 7. Unfortunately, his yards per reception has hit double digits only once in that stretch. He also hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Shakir's usage often comes near the line of scrimmage, creating a solid PPR floor. Fantasy managers in need of upside should look elsewhere at receiver. Otherwise, Shakir is a solid flex option against the Los Angeles Rams.
Dec 6, 2024 9:12 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught four passes for 30 yards in the team's 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Shakir's numbers this week aren't up to his standard this season. However, Josh Allen attempted just 17 passes on Sunday night due to weather conditions and a blowout. Shakir was targeted on seven of those attempts. He remains Allen's go-to receiver. The down week can be blamed on constant snowfall during the game. Shakir will be in the flex range for fantasy football when the Bills face the Rams in Los Angeles next week.
Dec 2, 2024 9:03 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has five straight games with at least six receptions as the slot receiver for quarterback Josh Allen. He has 18 more catches than the next Buffalo Bill. As Allen's go-to receiver, Shakir ranks as a WR3 against San Francisco. However, the 49ers are one of the best defenses against slot receivers this season. Plus, Shakir hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Shakir should still see plenty of targets but there are some reasons to be concerned about him matching his typical stat line.
Nov 30, 2024 12:19 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught eight of 12 targets for 70 yards in the team's 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The slot receiver led the Bills in targets, receptions, and yards. However, he did not find the endzone. Buffalo's lone passing touchdown went in Curtis Samuel's direction. Shakir hasn't scored since Week 3. Still, he's been Allen's go-to receiver this season and will be in the WR2/3 range when Buffalo returns from their bye week.
Nov 18, 2024 12:52 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has four straight games with at least six receptions and enters Week 11 leading the team in catches (48) and receiving yards (529). He's providing a safe PPR floor and should get plenty of looks on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) and tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will not play. Amari Cooper (wrist) is questionable and sporting a cast. The Chiefs are most susceptible to receiver production from the slot. That's Shakir's role and the health of other receivers does not impact that. The 24-year-old ranks as a high-end WR3 in PPR formats this week.
Nov 15, 2024 8:42 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of nine targets for 58 yards in the team's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. It was a mostly quiet afternoon for the Bills slot receiver, who needed a 30-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to avoid a disappointing stat line. Shakir missed on three targets, matching his season total entering Week 10. Fantasy managers were expecting more from Shakir with Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) sidelined, but he didn't completely burn those who started him. His slot role did not change with their absence. Shakir will be in the WR3/flex range next week against the Chiefs.
Nov 10, 2024 9:05 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has scored at least 10 PPR fantasy points in all but one game this season, which happened to be his first game back from an ankle injury. Shakir's role is safe, regardless of the situation around him. He commands the slot role on the Buffalo offense and he's only missed three targets this season. Shakir's utilization mixes well with the defense that Indianapolis tends to run. He could also see increased target volume if Amari Cooper (wrist) can't play on Sunday. Keon Coleman (wrist) has already been ruled out. Shakir is a safe WR3/flex for Week 10.
Nov 8, 2024 4:27 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six passes for 50 yards in the team's 30-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. The slot receiver only trailed rookie running back Ray Davis in receiving yards and led the team in receptions. As usual, Shakir was efficient with his targets. He missed one this week, bringing his total uncaught targets this season to three. Shakir has at least six catches in three straight games and will bring a safe PPR floor into Indianapolis in Week 10.
Nov 3, 2024 7:54 PM EST
When the Buffalo Bills added Amari Cooper (wrist) to their roster, there was concern that Khalil Shakir would lose targets. Instead, he's logged seven and 10 targets in back-to-back games, both season-high marks at the time. Shakir has only missed on two targets this season. If he's getting that kind of volume, he's a lock for PPR lineups. The Miami Dolphins, Shakir's Week 9 opponent, are strong against opposing passing games but weaker against slot receivers. The 24-year-old offers the safest floor of the three Buffalo wide receivers, but Cooper and Keon Coleman have higher ceilings. Cooper is questionable with a wrist injury. Shakir is a flex-worthy wide receiver in PPR formats and slips a little in the non-PPR rankings.
Nov 1, 2024 3:27 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught nine passes for 107 yards in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also rushed once for two yards. Shakir's nine receptions are a career-high, as were his 10 targets. It was the third time in Shakir's three-year career that topped 100 receiving yards. Shakir was involved early and often and led the Bills in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. The receiving touchdowns went to Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid. Shakir keeps a steady floor operating from the slot and will be in the flex conversation when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins next week.
Oct 27, 2024 10:07 PM EST
Khalil Shakir's role as one of the most efficient wide receivers in the NFL shouldn't change with Amari Cooper's integration into the offense, but it should take some targets away. Buffalo's slot receiver is catching 96.4% of his targets (just one incompletion) in six games. Shakir has finished between 54-72 yards in four games this season. Seattle defends slot receivers better than they do outside receivers. Shakir rarely lines up out wide and Amari Cooper will command more targets than he did in his debut. That puts Shakir in the WR4 conversation for Week 8.
Oct 25, 2024 5:12 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all seven of his targets for 65 yards in the team's victory over the Tennessee Titans. Shakir was well on his way to a dud performance until Buffalo's first drive of the fourth quarter. Josh Allen threw three straight passes to the slot receiver for 24 yards. Amari Cooper caught one pass, and then Allen went right back to Shakir for two more catches for 26 yards. Cooper's arrival in Buffalo won't impact Shakir's playing time. He operates almost exclusively from the slot and does not often see the field in two-receiver sets. He'll be in the flex conversation next week against the Seattle Seahawks.
Oct 20, 2024 7:18 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is off the injury report after participating in practice all week. It's encouraging progress for the slot receiver, who played under 40% of the snaps against the Jets in his first game back from injury. The result was just two catches for 19 yards. Fantasy managers can expect to jump back to the 55-70% snap percentage he played before the ankle ailment. However, the Bills added Amari Cooper to the roster this week and he will demand targets away from Shakir. The Titans allow the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, although they are better against receivers out wide than inside. Shakir is a low-end WR3 this week.
Oct 18, 2024 5:20 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught two passes for 19 yards in the team's 23-20 victory over the New York Jets. Those were his only two targets of the game. Shakir returned from a one-week absence to play on Monday Night Football but didn't play his regular allotment of snaps. The Buffalo coaching staff appeared to play it safe with their top wide receiver, who was questionable with an ankle injury when the day began. Once Shakir is fully healthy, he'll be in the weekly flex conversation. Fantasy managers will need to see it first before inserting Shakir back into starting lineups.
Oct 14, 2024 11:49 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is officially active for the Monday night divisional showdown against the New York Jets to close out Week 6 action. Shakir injured his ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not play in last week's loss to the Houston Texans. Despite being listed as questionable to play, he'll make his return after a one-game absence and provide a much-needed boost to Buffalo's offense, which will be without top running back James Cook (toe) as the Bills look to end their two-game skid. When fully healthy, Shakir has operated as quarterback Josh Allen's top target so far this year, securing 18 of 19 targets for 230 yards and two touchdowns. However, it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload coming off his ankle injury on Monday night. At potentially less than 100%, Shakir has a difficult matchup against a tough Jets secondary.
Oct 14, 2024 7:07 PM EST
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) will be listed as questionable for the Week 6 divisional showdown on Monday night against the New York Jets. Shakir was unable to practice on Thursday and Friday, so he's apparently going to return to the practice field on Saturday in order to give himself a shot at suiting up in primetime on Monday. The 24-year-old pass-catcher injured his ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and sat out of the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans. It's good news that he's made some progress, but he's firmly in danger of missing his second straight game and is an extremely volatile fantasy option this weekend with Buffalo's game being on Monday night. If Shakir misses another game, rookie Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel will be more involved in the passing game, as well as tight end Dalton Kincaid against a stout Jets defense.
