Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Malik Nabers

Friday, September 5, 5:56 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir (ankle) and Keon Coleman (groin) were both removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active on Sunday night for the Week 1 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Shakir was a full practice participant all week, while Coleman upgraded to a full practice on Friday after he was limited the first two days of the week. When asked if he was concerned about playing on Sunday, Colemansaid, "Nah." It won't be easily sledding on Sunday night for Buffalo's offense, but quarterback Josh Allen will have his top two receivers available in Shakir and Coleman. For fantasy purposes, both Shakir and Coleman should be viewed as more of WR4/flex options against a stout Ravens offense in a Bills offense that isn't afraid to spread things around. Many fantasy pundits are projecting a Year 2 breakout for Coleman.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) was not given a game status on the team's final Week 1 injury report despite sitting out Friday's practice. With no injury designation, he is expected to be a full go on Sunday when the Giants open their season against the Commanders. Nabers has experienced minor ailments throughout training camp, and he missed Friday's practice due to back tightness. It appears, though, that the team is taking an extra cautious approach with their Pro Bowl receiver, and all signs point to him getting a full workload on Sunday. Nabers was electric as a rookie, making 109 catches in only 15 games, and reports out of Giants' camp indicate that he hasn't missed a beat with Russell Wilson now under center. Nabers should be started without hesitation, and he has a strong chance of being one of the week's highest scoring receivers.
