Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Josh Downs

Thursday, November 13, 1:29 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) remained in a non-contact jersey during Thursday's practice and is dealing with multiple injuries, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. It's not great news for Buffalo's top receiver, but the good news is that he has been limited on back-to-back days and has a chance to play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, the 25-year-old's status is up in the air, and he could be limited in what he does in Week 11 if he ends up playing. Shakir's injury, in addition to tight end Dalton Kincaid's (hamstring), could make Keon Coleman a much more intriguing flex play this weekend. Coleman has mostly disappointed in his second NFL season, but he did have three catches on eight targets for 46 yards and his third TD of the year last Sunday. His eight targets were the most he's seen since the season opener.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught just one of his two targets for a three-yard gain in a 31-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin in Week 10. Downs was surprisingly quiet in the win as the Colts leaned on Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce in the passing attack. The veteran slot receiver saw a three-game touchdown streak come to an end, as well, in the contest. Overall, Downs has caught 36 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this season. He will be on bye in Week 11 before an important road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.
