Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Travis Hunter

Saturday, November 15, 12:41 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old has been a steady contributor in Buffalo all year, recording 45 catches for 457 yards and three touchdowns on 58 targets across nine games. Entering Week 11, Shakir has recorded at least seven targets and six catches in three straight contests. He could see an even further increase in target share against Tampa Bay due to the absence of Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). The Buccaneers defense has been a bottom-10 unit this season in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Shakir doesn't carry explosive upside, but he should provide a very stable floor, given the combination of his opponent and his upside for targets. In Week 11, Shakir profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (knee) unfortunately saw his rookie campaign come to an early end. Hunter was only able to play in seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. There was speculation that Hunter might make the switch to one position following this injury. So far, the Jags have stated they plan to continue using Hunter as a two-way player. His injury occurred during a non-contact play during practice, so it doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the wear-and-tear of playing two positions. He finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown.
