Khalil Shakir Faces Interesting Matchup

Saturday, November 14, 4:45 AM

Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is looking for a boost in production this week as he and the Buffalo passing game take on the New York Jets. Shakir has recorded nine receptions for 122 yards over the past two weeks and is RotoBaller's 37th-ranked wide receiver in Week 10. Shakir is projected to score nine fantasy points against a Jets pass defense that has allowed 1,000 yards after catch this season, the 10th-most in the NFL. Shakir has recorded 290 yards after catch this year, which is the 10th-most in the league. The Jets gave up 242 yards passing to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes a week ago, but the Chiefs' top two wide receivers, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, each averaged fewer than 10 yards per reception. Look for Buffalo to work the short passing game against New York, which could lead to a solid performance from Shakir.

Luther Burden III News

Luther Burden III Diagnosed with a Concussion

Sunday, November 8, 7:14 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Burden exited after taking a scary head-to-head hit late in the fourth quarter of the Bears' victory. He immediately collapsed to the ground after the hit and required medical assistance. The 22-year-old finished Week 9 with nine targets, seven catches, 97 yards, and one touchdown. If there's any good news here, it's that the Bears have a Week 10 bye, so Burden will get extra time to recover. Clearing concussion protocol in one week is tricky, but Burden will have 14 days for his symptoms to improve before the Bears play again. In the event that his recovery takes longer than expected and he has to miss Week 11 as well, then Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas would handle a significant increase in offensive snaps.
