Khalil Shakir Poised for Bigger Role if Dalton Kincaid Sits

Saturday, October 11, 2:10 PM

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.

Drake Maye Continues Breakout Season with Dominant Week 7 Performance

Sunday, October 19, 10:36 PM

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continued to prove he's one of the best young players in the NFL by dominating the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 and leading his team to a 31-13 win. Maye completed 21 of 23 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, adding eight rush attempts for 62 yards as well. The 23-year-old has now thrown for 1,744 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns through his first seven games of 2025. He's topped 250 total yards in every week but one so far this season. Maye looks every bit like a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
