Khalil Shakir Paces Bills' Receiving Corps in Enormous Week 8 Victory

Sunday, October 26, 7:50 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of seven targets for 88 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 8 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Buffalo absolutely dismantled Carolina, winning 40-9 thanks to a phenomenal outing from running back James Cook. While the Bills leaned on the rushing attack, the passing game impressed, too. That's where Shakir comes in, as he led the team in all major receiving statistics and also scored the lone receiving touchdown. The 25-year-old had his best game of the season and has now scored at least 11 fantasy points (PPR) in five of seven contests. He ranks as the overall WR31 so far and should be viewed as a mid-to-high WR3/flex option heading into an exciting AFC showdown between the Bills and Chiefs.
