Khalil Shakir Could See Increased Opportunities in Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 11:56 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir finally had a productive afternoon against New England, catching seven of eight targets for 82 yards after totaling just eight receptions for 94 yards over the first three games. He also lost a fumble, but the increased involvement was encouraging. Now Buffalo heads into Monday without Joshua Palmer, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, while DJ Moore is questionable with his own shoulder issue. That leaves Shakir with a potentially larger role in the passing game, although Keon Coleman is also coming off a 116-yard performance. The Rams have been one of the NFL's toughest defenses against the pass, so there isn't much room to assume another big game. Shakir is WR36 in RotoBaller's Saturday rankings and offers flex appeal in PPR formats, particularly if Moore cannot play.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy More Of A Dart Throw In Week 4

Friday, October 2, 11:22 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Worthy's performance in the 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week raised more concerns than optimism for his future performances. Worthy reeled in two catches for 20 yards on two targets in the contest. Despite the easy matchup, the third-year wideout finished with fewer yards and targets than Noah Gray in Week 3. Worthy will now have to face a tough Raiders defense in a matchup of two undefeated AFC West teams. Worthy will be involved in this week's matchup, but just how involved he will be is anyone's guess. Worthy is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option. Fantasy managers suffering from injuries may have to throw Worthy into lineups, but in most cases, there should be better options available.
