Khalil Shakir News
Thursday, September 17, 5:57 AM
Wide receiver Khalil Shakir did not disappear from the Buffalo Bills offense in Week 1. He caught four of six targets for 50 yards, which is about what fantasy managers should probably be expecting when the bigger plays go elsewhere. DJ Moore saw eight targets, Dalton Kincaid had six, and both went over 100 yards. That leaves Shakir working as more of a complementary option than a featured one. Still, Detroit just allowed 410 passing yards to New Orleans, so there should be room for Buffalo to support more than one receiver Thursday night. Shakir was efficient with the chances he did get and remains one of Josh Allen's safer short-area options. The problem is ceiling. Moore and Kincaid already showed they can command volume and create chunk plays. RotoBaller has Shakir as a WR49 for Week 2. He is a reasonable deeper FLEX play in PPR formats, but not someone who needs to be squeezed into a lineup.

Tre Tucker News
Monday, September 14, 11:24 AM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker had a quiet opener in Sunday's 27-13 win over Miami, catching two of four targets for 27 yards. He still tied for the most receiving yards among Raiders wideouts, but the four targets are the bigger takeaway. Brock Bowers was out with a knee injury, and Las Vegas still spread the passing work around rather than funneling it toward Tucker. That makes the Week 1 usage a little disappointing. It does not erase his role, though. Tucker started all 17 games last season and led the Raiders with 696 receiving yards while catching 57 passes and scoring five touchdowns. He also opened 2026 listed with the first team opposite Jalen Nailor. RotoBaller still has Tucker among its top 10 wide receiver pickups for Week 2, which fits the profile here. He is not a priority claim after four targets, especially if Bowers returns soon, but he remains worth adding in 12-team leagues as receiver depth ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chargers.
