Khalil Shakir Catches Seven Passes Versus Titans

Sunday, October 20, 7:18 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all seven of his targets for 65 yards in the team's victory over the Tennessee Titans. Shakir was well on his way to a dud performance until Buffalo's first drive of the fourth quarter. Josh Allen threw three straight passes to the slot receiver for 24 yards. Amari Cooper caught one pass, and then Allen went right back to Shakir for two more catches for 26 yards. Cooper's arrival in Buffalo won't impact Shakir's playing time. He operates almost exclusively from the slot and does not often see the field in two-receiver sets. He'll be in the flex conversation next week against the Seattle Seahawks.

Sunday, October 20, 7:39 PM

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs took full advantage of an increased role in Week 7, leading his team to a thrilling 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. With David Montgomery (knee) missing snaps due to a knee injury, Gibbs stepped up in a big way, rushing 15 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns while adding four receptions for 44 yards. Gibbs' first score came on a 45-yard run early in the second quarter, breaking free off the right side. He added a second touchdown just before halftime, an eight-yard run that helped the Lions build their lead. Gibbs finished with an impressive 7.7 yards per carry and one of the top overall fantasy performances in Week 7, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. The Lions will look to keep momentum at home, and Gibbs remains a must-start against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8.
