Khalil Shakir's Recent Production Comes With Target Concerns

Saturday, October 17, 7:40 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has produced 162 receiving yards over his last two games despite a considerable difference in opportunities. He caught seven passes for 82 yards on eight targets against New England in Week 4, then needed just three receptions to finish with 80 yards against the Rams. A 57-yard gain in overtime accounted for most of that second performance. Shakir leads Buffalo with 26 targets through five games, but that works out to just 5.2 per contest, and he has yet to score a touchdown this season. The Raiders have struggled to contain opposing offenses recently, giving Shakir a reasonable chance to deliver another useful performance. Still, his production has relied heavily on yards after the catch and occasional explosive plays. He remains a WR3 or flex consideration in PPR leagues, particularly if Buffalo continues dealing with injuries at receiver.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy Could Be Valuable In Week 6

Friday, October 16, 12:20 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. Worthy had his best game of the season in terms of receiving yards in Week 4 before the team's bye week. Worthy reeled in four catches for 70 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. Before that performance, the speedy wideout had failed to clear 25 receiving yards in any contest this season. The arrow is pointed up now with a week of rest and the absence of WR1 Rashee Rice heading into the weekend. The Chiefs offense should also have no issues imposing their will against the Chargers defense. With a potentially expanded role in a game that Kansas City should win, Worthy is set up to have his best game of the year at home in Week 6. Worthy should be viewed as a low-end WR2/3 option on Sunday. Fantasy managers dealing with injuries and bye weeks could do worse than Worthy this week.
