Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Rashid Shaheed

Saturday, October 11, 2:10 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir could see an uptick in targets Monday night with tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable after limited practice participation this week. Shakir tied his season-high with nine targets in Week 5 and now sits tied for the team lead with 29 on the year, turning them into 235 receiving yards through five games. With the Bills set to face the NFL's top-ranked pass defense in Atlanta, Shakir will need to create separation against cornerbacks Mike Hughes and Dee Alford to stay productive. If Kincaid is ruled out, Shakir should serve as a reliable safety valve for Josh Allen and could offer sneaky PPR value as a volume-based WR3 or flex play in Week 6.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed broke loose for an 87-yard touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Patriots. He set a season high with 114 yards on four receptions and scored his second touchdown of the season. Quarterback Spencer Rattler finally pushed the ball downfield to Shaheed after averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt through the first four weeks. Shaheed played 67% of the offensive snaps and faces a Patriots defense allowing 242.2 passing yards per game. He is a WR3 with upside if the deep ball continues.
