Khalil Shakir to See a Drop in Targets?

Thursday, March 5, 7:35 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has led the team in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, but given the team's reported acquisition of Bears receiver DJ Moore via trade, that streak is likely to come to an end in 2026. Shakir has been a fantasy-relevant depth piece over the past two seasons, largely due to his safe, volume-dependent floor while the Bills struggled to find an Alpha receiver to fill the shoes of Stefon Diggs, who last played for the Bills in 2023. In Moore, they appear to have found that Alpha. While Shakir and Moore do play complementary games, and the spacing provided by a true outside threat could help Shakir see more spike games, his reliable floor will likely become a thing of the past, making him a difficult-to-trust weekly play moving forward.

Marvin Mims Jr. News

Marvin Mims Jr. a Big-Play Threat Buried on Broncos WR Depth Chart

Saturday, March 7, 6:22 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. improved as a pass-catcher in his second NFL season in 2024, when he caught 39 of his 52 targets for 503 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. But the 23-year-old former second-rounder out of Oklahoma regressed in Year 3 in 2025, finishing with 37 catches on 51 targets for a career-low 322 yards and just one touchdown in 15 regular-season games. Mims did pace the Broncos' pass-catchers in their AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots, but more often than not last year, he was the odd-man out in the passing attack behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and rookie Pat Bryant. Even tight end Evan Engram finished with more yardage than Mims in 2025. Mims has big-play abilities and is a two-time Pro Bowler on special teams, but on offense, he's likely to be inconsistent again in 2026 with limited playing time.
