Khalil Shakir News
Saturday, September 12, 7:34 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir returns to Houston after one of his best games of 2025, when he caught eight of 10 targets for 110 yards in a 23-19 loss to the Texans. Shakir finished the season with 72 receptions for 719 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games, remaining one of Josh Allen's most reliable short-area options. That role could be useful again against a Houston defense that recorded 47 sacks last year and consistently pressured Allen in the previous meeting. The target picture is more crowded this time, however, with DJ Moore now in Buffalo and Dalton Kincaid healthy after missing last year's matchup. Shakir is WR48 in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings. His catch volume gives him some value as a deeper PPR FLEX, but the added competition makes him much harder to trust in non-PPR formats.

Rashid Shaheed News
Thursday, September 10, 5:40 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed caught one of three targets for four yards on Wednesday against the New England Patriots. Despite his low target volume, Shaheed was much more involved in the offense in Week 1 than he was during the 2025 season. He played 66% of the snaps, and at one point, he was even lined up in the backfield for a pitch play before the Seahawks were called for a penalty. Despite his minimal output, fantasy managers should continue to roster him. The Seahawks' offense as a whole was not at its best in Week 1. Quarterback Sam Darnold (hip) went down with a hip injury on the fifth snap of the game, and it took the offense a full half to find its legs. Early news on Darnold's hip is positive, but backup quarterback Drew Lock demonstrated that he can hold down the offense if necessary. As such, the offense should only continue to improve. If it does, Shaheed's potential involvement is intriguing. Keep monitoring his usage in the coming weeks before letting him go to waivers.
