Who Should I Start? Tyrell Shavers or Devontez Walker

Saturday, December 27, 10:39 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers hauled in one of two targets for 21 yards in Week 16's victory over the Cleveland Browns. Despite the Bills being without Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman, both healthy inactives in Week 16, Shavers failed to capitalize on his opportunities, as the Bills totaled fewer than 100 passing yards. The second-year receiver will hope for a bounce-back in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. However, there is still a window for Shavers this week. Khalil Shakir is likely to see a lot of slot corner Cooper DeJean, and Joshua Palmer is expected to be shadowed by star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. Quarterback Josh Allen has been electric at home this season, and both tight ends, Dawson Knox (knee) and Dalton Kincaid (knee), are questionable entering this week. While he's too risky to start in fantasy championships this week, Shavers could be a cheap DFS option against the Eagles.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The second-year UNC product has been pretty quiet so far, other than a fluke two-touchdown game back in Week 2. He has just one catch over his last two games and played only seven percent of the offensive snaps last week. He should be avoided in fantasy football as he remains buried behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tylan Wallace.
