KhalilShakir

News: 4 days agoShakir caught all three targets for 28 yards during Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears.

Spin: You will probably hear this nugget several times before fantasy drafts are over, but Shakir is the only wideout on the roster to ever catch a pass from Josh Allen. With Stefon Diggs off to Houston and Gabe Davis moving to the Jaguars, Shakir may be the best bet for fantasy production among the Buffalo wideout corps. However, rookie Keon Coleman is showing promise while veteran Curtis Samuel figures to see a number of touches in a jack-of-all-trades role, while running back James Cook and tight end Dalton Kincaid figure to factor in heavily in the passing game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Entering his third season with the Bills, Shakir primarily operated from the slot last season, accumulating 91.5% of his receiving yards from that position. With Stefon Diggs traded and Gabe Davis moving to the Jaguars, Shakir has a clearer path to more targets in 2024. Though he's tied to a Josh Allen-led offense, he's projected to see the fourth-most targets behind Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel. Shakir's not a priority pick in most leagues.
