Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Keon Coleman

Tuesday, January 6, 2:43 PM

Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was rested for Buffalo's Week 18 win over the Jets, along with most of the team's starters, officially closing the regular season with 719 receiving yards and four touchdowns. After cracking double-digit fantasy points in four of his first 11 games of the year, he has not hit that mark since a Week 12 loss to the Texans, and he heads into the playoffs having topped 35 receiving yards only once in his final five games. With only one touchdown since Week 9, Shakir is a low-floor, low-ceiling play in fantasy playoff leagues and does not need to be heavily rostered. He is RotoBaller's WR13 in a week with 12 teams in action.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. The second-year receiver had been a healthy scratch for the last two games but returns to action on Sunday with Brandin Cooks (coach's decision) inactive. Through 12 games this year, Coleman has amassed 36 catches, 355 yards, and four touchdowns. The Florida State product was benched at times this season for both on-field and off-field reasons, but he'll get a chance to make an impact in the regular-season finale. The Bills might opt to rest key starters for some or all of Sunday's game since they've secured a Wild Card berth. If someone like Khalil Shakir handles reduced snaps, Coleman could benefit in his depth role.
