Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Khalil Shakir

Saturday, October 18, 12:44 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has seen his opportunities in the offense quickly decline, recording just two receptions for 17 yards in Week 6 against the Patriots. He also had a season-low two targets and lost a fumble in the contest. Johnson's fall from TE1 status coincides with the returns of fellow tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau, as well as a drop in passing attempts from quarterback Spencer Rattler, who averaged 36.5 attempts per game from Weeks 1-4, but just 28 over the last two games. Johnson now ranks TE30 on RotoBaller and can be safely left off rosters in most leagues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir could see an uptick in targets Monday night with tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable after limited practice participation this week. Shakir tied his season-high with nine targets in Week 5 and now sits tied for the team lead with 29 on the year, turning them into 235 receiving yards through five games. With the Bills set to face the NFL's top-ranked pass defense in Atlanta, Shakir will need to create separation against cornerbacks Mike Hughes and Dee Alford to stay productive. If Kincaid is ruled out, Shakir should serve as a reliable safety valve for Josh Allen and could offer sneaky PPR value as a volume-based WR3 or flex play in Week 6.
