Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Khalil Shakir

Thursday, November 27, 4:01 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) is off the injury report and is all systems go for Friday's game against the Chicago Bears. Smith was a non-participant in Tuesday and Wednesday's practice, but practiced in full on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been hot recently, topping 80 receiving yards or more in three of his last five games. Overall, he has caught 55 passes for 754 yards and three touchdowns over 11 weeks. The Bears' defense is getting healthier and is expected to get standout defensive back Jaylon Johnson (groin) back on Friday. Despite Johnson's return, Smith is a low-end WR2 in fantasy against the Bears and is ranked 22nd among all wideouts heading into Week 13.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalik Shakir posted his best game of the season in Week 12's loss to the Houston Texans, catching eight of 10 targets for 110 yards. It was the most receptions of the season for Shakir and his first 100+ yard game since Week 14 of last season. The 25-year-old bounced back after recording negative three receiving yards in Week 11 against Tampa Bay despite Buffalo scoring 44 points. Shakir should continue to operate as the team's top wideout in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR26 in PPR formats.
