Khalil Shakir News
Saturday, August 8, 7:45 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is likely to see reduced volume in the 2026 season following the team's offseason moves. Over the past two seasons, Shakir has been the team's WR1, averaging more than 4.5 receptions and about 50 yards per game. However, the Bills added former Panthers and Bears wideout D.J. Moore this offseason, which appears to be paying off. Star quarterback Josh Allen said it's "exciting as a quarterback when you have someone like that," and even Shakir said that Allen and Moore's "connection has been unreal. When you watch stuff like that, it just feels fake, like how beautiful that play was." While Shakir will remain in his slot role for the 2026 season, with Moore's elite after-the-catch ability, you could see some of Shakir's manufactured targets disappear this year.

Carnell Tate News
Friday, August 14, 5:49 AM
Ten different Tennessee Titans players caught a pass in the team's preseason debut against the 49ers on Thursday night, but rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate was not one of them. Playing into the second quarter with the rest of the team's starters, the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft was targeted three times, all from Cam Ward, but the two were unable to connect. With Ward having an up-and-down night and most of the team's success coming on the ground, the Titans completed only 12 total passes on 26 attempts, and Wan'Dale Robinson's 19 receiving yards were enough to lead the team, so it's not as if Tate missed out on what was otherwise a fantasy bonanza. Still, after a hype-filled training camp, more will be expected when the Titans host the defending champion Seahawks in their next preseason outing.
