Who Should I Start? Bryan Edwards or Khalil Shakir

Tuesday, August 22, 7:39 PM

The Saints waived wide receiver Bryan Edwards on Tuesday. The wideout, a 2020 third-round pick for the Raiders, hasn't met expectations during his career, totaling 48 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 36 games with Las Vegas and Atlanta. He signed with New Orleans in March, so he didn't last long with the Saints. However, he may get claimed off waivers, although that won't mean a thing for fantasy purposes.

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.
