Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Khalil Shakir

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught all four of his targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Even with Jayden Reed returning to the lineup, Watson continued to operate as the Packers' top receiver. He now has five touchdowns over the last four weeks, and he has at least four catches in each of those four games. The 26-year-old continues to perform quite well in this crowded receiver room, largely thanks to Jordan Love's strong passing season. He has quietly ranked as the eighth-highest-scoring receiver in half-PPR leagues since making his season debut in Week 8. Watson ranks as a strong WR2 option heading into Week 15 against the Denver Broncos.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir matched a season low with just one reception for five yards on four targets in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills opted for a heavy run approach with 51 total carries to 23 pass attempts, and Shakir's production suffered as a result. His four targets tied for the second most on the team, but it was another frustrating performance for his fantasy managers. The 25-year-old now has three games with only one reception after recording zero such games in his breakout 2024 season. Shakir is still the clear top target for the Bills, but their run-heavy offensive approach limits his ceiling. He could have some targets taken away in Week 14 against the Bengals with the potential return of top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who is currently listed as questionable to play for the first time since Week 10. It could be a great spot for Shakir to bounce back against a Bengals defense that has been the worst in the league. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR formats in Week 14.
