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.

Jayden Reed Disappoints With 10 Yards In Packers' Week 7 Victory

Sunday, October 20, 6:12 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a limited factor in the Packers' 24-22 victory against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Reed, who has been one of the most volatile wide receivers in the league from a fantasy perspective, didn't help his cause today as he caught just 2-of-4 targets for 10 yards. He also added a carry for no gain on the afternoon, as the offensive flowed through a host of other targets on the Packers' offense. Despite Reed's disappointing Week 7, that doesn't diminish the fact that he's a key part of the Packers' passing attack. In Week 8, the Packers will travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Reed should be a mid-range fantasy WR2 for that matchup with a fantasy-points floor is a bit lower than we'd like to admit, but sizeable fantasy upside.
