Who Should I Start? Britain Covey or Khalil Shakir

Saturday, October 7, 1:03 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (concussion) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old was removed from the Eagles' Week 4 victory over the Washington Commanders after taking a blow to the head and entered the concussion protocol the following day. He did not practice to start the week, but his availability improved as the week progressed logging a limited practice on Thursday and a full practice on Friday. His status for Week 5 is still uncertain. Covey sees little work for Philadelphia's offense but is the team's primary punt returner.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (shoulder) overcame a shoulder injury to close out Sunday's 27-24 Divisional Round defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, tallying team highs in receptions (seven) and targets (nine) with 44 yards and a touchdown. Shakir made an impressive 13-yard catch for a score in the front corner of the end zone late in the third quarter before heading to the locker room, but he returned after just a handful of missed plays. Proving to be a very capable producer when granted opportunities, the 23-year-old second-year wideout hauled in 49 of his 57 targets for 686 yards (12.0 yards per target) and four touchdowns overall this year. Perhaps more versed in supplying efficiency than erratic field stretcher Gabe Davis (knee), Shakir will sport a compelling late-round fantasy-flier case in 2024 drafts with Davis headed for unrestricted free agency and Stefon Diggs turning 31 years old in November.
