Khalil Shakir Maintains Fantasy Value, Worth Adding Ahead of Week 9

Monday, November 2, 4:56 AM

Despite D.J. Moore's return from injury, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir continued to produce and could be a low-end WR3 moving forward. In Week 8, Shakir hauled in five of six targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns in the 36-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. While Moore returned and made a significant impact for Buffalo, he later suffered an apparent lower-body injury. Moore said he was fine after the game, but even if he continues to play, Shakir should continue to produce. In seven games, Shakir has hauled in 27 of 38 targets for 354 yards and a touchdown, ranking second among all Bills pass catchers. Fantasy managers should continue to rely on Shakir as a focal point of this high-powered Buffalo offense led by Josh Allen.

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers Vanishes in Primetime Loss

Thursday, November 5, 7:15 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers caught three of six passes for six yards in Thursday night's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He added 17 rushing yards on three carries. That's two straight duds for Flowers. Granted, the conditions weren't optimal, but quarterback Joe Fagnano and company couldn't get anything going, as Flowers led the team in receptions and targets, and no Ravens pass catcher eclipsed 19 receiving yards. Fortunately for owners, the next time the former first-round pick takes the field, it will be under new direction, with the newly acquired Jacoby Brissett leading the charge. While Brissett may have just been benched by his former team, he presents as a more competent passer and stabilizer for Baltimore's fantasy options. Flowers should regain some of his upside in the Ravens' second straight primetime outing against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10.
