Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Khalil Shakir

Monday, November 24, 5:54 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught five of his eight targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Pittman scored the first touchdown of the game when he pulled in a six-yard pass from Daniel Jones with 8:06 left in the first quarter. It was mostly a quiet day after that for Pittman as the Colts only managed two field goals in the second half. Pittman has been a solid fantasy receiver this season as he has 59 catches for 607 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games this year. He will look to keep it going in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.

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.
