Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir secured six of seven targets for 67 yards in the team's 27-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the AFC Championship game. Shakir led Buffalo in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. The Buffalo passing game was a little underwhelming. Running back James Cook finished with three targets, second on the team. No other receiver had more than two. Shakir will continue to be Josh Allen's favorite target when the Bills face the Chiefs next weekend for the chance to go to the Super Bowl.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir continues to be Josh Allen's most-trusted wide receiver but it's not translating to massive fantasy success. The slot receiver led the team with six targets and six receptions in Buffalo's Wild Card victory. However, five other receivers saw three targets. Allen's tendency to spread the love in the passing game has prevented any Buffalo receiver from truly breaking out. Shakir is reliable for a double-digit PPR performance but there isn't a high ceiling for him in the divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 61 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the postseason. It's the first time since Week 7 that Shakir secured all his targets and the sixth time this season. He led the Bills in receptions and targets but trailed Curtis Samuel (68) in yards thanks to a long completion to the latter. Shakir remains Josh Allen's favorite receiver and should be heavily involved when the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was Josh Allen's top pass-catching weapon throughout the regular season. Shakir led the Bills in receptions (76) and receiving yards (821). He'll likely be utilized often against the Denver Broncos in the first round of the playoffs. Because he lines up in the slot on over 70% of his offensive snaps, it will help him better avoid shutdown corner Pat Surtain II. However, because Allen tends to spread the love in the passing game, none of the Bills receivers are top-tier options for fantasy lineups this weekend. Shakir is the best of the shaky Buffalo options.

What do you get when a team has clinched their playoff seeding entering the final week of the regular season? A blend of starters and backups playing on the football field. Head coach Sean McDermott promised that earlier in the week. That could mean an early exit for Buffalo's most utilized wide receiver, Khalil Shakir. The slot receiver has caught 76 passes for 821 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games. He, alongside Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper (back), can't be depended upon against the Patriots due to uncertain playing time and Mitchell Trubisky playing most of the quarterback snaps.
Jan 3, 2025 11:35 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught three of six targets for 25 yards in the team's blowout victory over the New York Jets. It's the second straight game (and third time all season) that Shakir finished with fewer than 30 yards. That's coincided with below-average passing yardage from quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 182 yards on Sunday. Buffalo built a 33-point lead entering the fourth quarter, taking many starters out of the game early. With the win, the Bills clinched the number two seed in the AFC playoffs ahead of their rematch with the New England Patriots.
Dec 29, 2024 6:05 PM EST
On paper, the New York Jets are stingy against opposing wide receivers, especially in fantasy football. The Jets allow the third-fewest fantasy points per game. However, a closer look shows the unit gives up the second-most points per game to slot receivers. Buffalo Bills receiver Khalil Shakir has lined up inside on over 70% of his offensive snaps this season. He's also been a model of consistency, scoring double-digit fantasy points in all but three games. Fantasy managers wanting a safe floor can start Shakir this weekend as a mid-tier WR 3.
Dec 27, 2024 7:45 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught two passes for 22 yards in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. Two receptions tied a season-low mark for the slot receiver. Shakir led Buffalo wide receivers with six targets (only trailed tight end Dalton Kincaid's seven) but couldn't do much with the opportunities. Josh Allen typically targets Shakir on the short and intermediate routes. The pair couldn't connect on a couple of deep shots on Sunday. The entire Buffalo passing game was out of sync as Allen totaled 154 passing yards. Shakir and the Bills host the New York Jets next weekend.
Dec 22, 2024 10:54 PM EST
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.
Dec 20, 2024 4:12 PM EST
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.
Dec 15, 2024 10:06 PM EST
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.
