Khalil Shakir News
Wednesday, April 15, 5:52 AM
Buffalo wide receiver Khalil Shakir has finished each of the past two seasons as a low-end WR3 in PPR formats, but following the Bills' acquisition of DJ Moore via trade, he has fallen to WR56 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. While Shakir is likely to see a decline in volume, the drawn converge and space created by Moore could further open up one of the strongest elements of his game. Shakir's 7.7 yards after catch per reception since entering the league in 2022 is an elite number, aided by his connection with Josh Allen in off-schedule moments. That chemistry could still make him a trusted target when plays break down, allowing Shakir to supplement some of his volume-based production with big plays. While his overall profile could shift from a high-floor, low-ceiling safety net to more of a boom-or-bust option, the 26-year-old Shakir should still find his way to fantasy relevance in 2026 and beyond, and is likely undervalued in dynasty circles.

Rashee Rice News
Monday, April 27, 9:11 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice missed the first six games of the 2025 season due to a league suspension, and the final three due to a concussion. Across the eight games where he was on the field, the 26-year-old recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 78 targets. Rice has now played just 12 games over the past two seasons and enters 2026 in need of a productive year without injury or off-field incidents standing in his way. As long as he's active, Rice profiles as the number one target in the Chiefs' passing game and carries significant fantasy upside, particularly in PPR-scoring formats. Kansas City added University of Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen in the fifth round of the 2026 draft and retains veteran tight end Travis Kelce, but Rice remains the team's most talented receiving option. While Rice's dynasty value is currently colored by his recent struggles to stay on the field, his production ceiling remains sky-high.
