Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Xavier Worthy

Thursday, November 20, 11:38 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught eight of his 10 targets for 110 yards during Thursday's Week 12 loss against the Houston Texans. He also lost a fumble. Shakir padded his stats with a pair of impressive plays in the fourth quarter. The first was a 44-yard catch-and-run that turned a third-and-long into a first down. The second was a nifty lateral from Joshua Palmer to Shakir that converted a 4th-and-27. Despite the loss, Shakir's big game against a strong Texans secondary was very impressive, and it should vault him into the low-end WR2 tier for Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as limited on Monday on the estimated practice report, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Worthy has been managing an ankle injury for the last several weeks, but he hasn't missed any time and should be fine to suit up on Thanksgiving on Thursday for a matchup on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. The 22-year-old second-year pass-catcher played 77% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts to finish with four catches on eight targets for 59 yards. The 59 receiving yards were the most for Worthy since Sept. 28 against the Ravens, when he had a season-high 83 yards. Worthy has left a lot to be desired for his fantasy managers in 2025, and his upside has been limited ever since Rashee Rice returned from his suspension. The matchup against Dallas is a nice one in Week 13, but Worthy has become a low-ceiling WR4/flex in fantasy.
