Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Khalil Shakir

Friday, November 14, 5:26 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is not someone you should look to stream this week. Darnold has been on a tear of late. He has been lighting up opposing defenses left and right. Week 11 will present the toughest task of the season. Seattle will travel to Los Angeles to face an excellent Rams defense. The Rams are No. 9 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy this season. They have allowed some wide receivers to get loose, but quarterbacks have been stifled. Additionally, despite the excellent nature of both of these offenses, the real defining factor in this game will be each team's defense. As such, this could be a lower-scoring game than anticipated or desired. Darnold's overall passing volume could be much lower than usual. With that in mind, it is best to look elsewhere at quarterback this week. Darnold checks in as a mid-tier QB2. However, roster Darnold through this matchup because better days are ahead.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 11 injury report, according to Alec White of BuffaloBills.com. Shakir will be able to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite being limited for two practices this week with ankle and rib injuries. It's good news for the Bills' offense after they ruled out tight end Dalton Kincaid with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Bills will also be getting receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) back. As long as Shakir isn't limited this weekend, he should be quarterback Josh Allen's top aerial target, as he leads the Bills in receiving in 2025 and has a 45/457/3 line on 58 targets through nine games. Fantasy managers should consider Shakir as a WR3/flex play in Week 11.
