Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Khalil Shakir

Saturday, November 8, 4:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Khalil Shakir (rib) will be limited in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) isn't practicing on Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, so quarterback Josh Allen's top two targets could be missing in action this weekend versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shakir has a better shot at suiting up, but his status will be worth monitoring closely as Sunday approaches. He currently leads the Bills in catches (45), targets (58), and receiving yards (457) while finding the end zone three times. If both Shakir and Kincaid cannot play in Week 11, Keon Coleman would be Buffalo's top wideout, with Dawson Knox taking over primary TE pass-catching duties. Allen might be forced to use his legs more often against Tampa.
