Khalil Shakir News
Wednesday, July 8, 10:37 AM
Across 16 games (10 starts) in 2025, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir recorded 72 catches for 719 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets. The 26-year-old has been a high-floor, low-ceiling wide receiver option for fantasy managers in recent seasons, finishing as the WR37 in per-game PPR scoring in 2024 and the WR43 by the same measure in 2025. Shakir's primary usage in the Bills offense is as a short-area target out of the slot, as he averaged 10 yards per reception and 7.6 yards per target last year. Shakir has averaged 6.3 targets per game since the start of 2024, but he may not see such steady volume in 2026 following Buffalo's offseason acquisition of veteran wideout DJ Moore. Given Shakir's dependence on target volume for fantasy production, dynasty managers may want to consider moving him ahead of a possible workload decline in 2026.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Friday, June 26, 12:23 PM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled with both injuries and inconsistency in 2025, finishing the year with just 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets across 12 games. The 23-year-old has flashed upside as a ball-winner and a red zone threat, but he's largely failed to live up to the prospect hype that led to him being the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Entering 2026, Harrison Jr. is definitely behind star Cardinals tight end Trey McBride on the team's target pecking order and may even have slipped behind fellow wideout Michael Wilson. However, Harrison Jr. will have a chance to work with a new coaching staff this season, which could be the fresh start he needs. Harrison Jr. is reportedly still recovering from the myriad injury issues that forced him to miss five games last season, but he should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Given that he's fallen all the way down the low-end WR3 range by redraft ADP, Harrison Jr. may be an ideal buy-low candidate for fantasy managers.
