Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir had a big-time performance in Week 12, hauling in eight of 10 targets for 110 yards against the Houston Texans. His huge outing was his first 10+ target and 100+ yard game of the season. Shakir is averaging 11.5 PPR fantasy points per game, leading the way in Buffalo as the number one option in the passing game. He faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The Steelers have also allowed the seventh most fantasy points per game to slot receivers this season, which is where Shakir likes to operate. After being an inconsistent option for fantasy managers at the beginning of the season, Shakir is a WR3/FLEX play in Week 13.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalik Shakir posted his best game of the season in Week 12's loss to the Houston Texans, catching eight of 10 targets for 110 yards. It was the most receptions of the season for Shakir and his first 100+ yard game since Week 14 of last season. The 25-year-old bounced back after recording negative three receiving yards in Week 11 against Tampa Bay despite Buffalo scoring 44 points. Shakir should continue to operate as the team's top wideout in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR26 in PPR formats.

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.

Bills' WR Khalil Shakir had 8 receptions for 110 yards but no touchdowns in Thursday's loss in Houston.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir enters a Week 12 matchup against the Houston in unknown territory after missing practice on both Monday and Tuesday for personal reasons. Assuming Shakir plays, he's a low-end WR3 option against Houston, the top-ranked defense against PPR wide receivers. The veteran is also coming off his worst game of the season, a performance in which he caught just one pass for negative three yards against Tampa Bay. Without knowing the full extent of the absence, managers will have to wait until Buffalo releases its list of inactives to make sure Shakir is playing. Luckily, as the first game of the week, there will be ample opportunity to pivot in another direction.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was not on the field on Tuesday for the portion of practice open to the media due to personal reasons, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Shakir was also listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated report due to a personal reason. The team's WR1 isn't dealing with an injury, but his situation bears watching going into Thursday's tilt against the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old was listed with ankle and rib injuries last week but ended up suiting up for Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he caught just one of three targets for minus-three yards in a 44-32 win. It was the worst game of Shakir's career, which was especially concerning due to the fact that quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills' offense moved the ball at will against Tampa. It doesn't make Shakir an enticing fantasy play this week against the top defense in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old has been a steady contributor in Buffalo all year, recording 45 catches for 457 yards and three touchdowns on 58 targets across nine games. Entering Week 11, Shakir has recorded at least seven targets and six catches in three straight contests. He could see an even further increase in target share against Tampa Bay due to the absence of Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). The Buccaneers defense has been a bottom-10 unit this season in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Shakir doesn't carry explosive upside, but he should provide a very stable floor, given the combination of his opponent and his upside for targets. In Week 11, Shakir profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2.

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.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) is "heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot for the game" this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. It's a bit of a surprise since Shakir hasn't practiced in full this week, but it's good news for a Bills offense that already ruled out tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) for Week 11 action. Still, the 25-year-old Shakir could be limited in what he can do this weekend, and with Kincaid out, receiver Keon Coleman is looking more attractive to fantasy managers as a WR4/flex play. Coleman has been a disappointment in his sophomore season, but he scored his third touchdown last week and had his second-most targets (eight) of the year. Shakir has been Buffalo's leading receiver in 2025, but he'll carry more risk against Tampa if he's active. Check back for the Bills' final Friday injury report.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) remained in a non-contact jersey during Thursday's practice and is dealing with multiple injuries, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. It's not great news for Buffalo's top receiver, but the good news is that he has been limited on back-to-back days and has a chance to play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, the 25-year-old's status is up in the air, and he could be limited in what he does in Week 11 if he ends up playing. Shakir's injury, in addition to tight end Dalton Kincaid's (hamstring), could make Keon Coleman a much more intriguing flex play this weekend. Coleman has mostly disappointed in his second NFL season, but he did have three catches on eight targets for 46 yards and his third TD of the year last Sunday. His eight targets were the most he's seen since the season opener.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Khalil Shakir (rib) will be limited in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) isn't practicing on Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, so quarterback Josh Allen's top two targets could be missing in action this weekend versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shakir has a better shot at suiting up, but his status will be worth monitoring closely as Sunday approaches. He currently leads the Bills in catches (45), targets (58), and receiving yards (457) while finding the end zone three times. If both Shakir and Kincaid cannot play in Week 11, Keon Coleman would be Buffalo's top wideout, with Dawson Knox taking over primary TE pass-catching duties. Allen might be forced to use his legs more often against Tampa.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has emerged as a target monster in the team's high-powered offense. Shakir has led the team in targets in each of their two matchups since their bye week, and faces a Miami Dolphins defense that he burned for a touchdown in Week 3. The fourth-year receiver is on pace to exceed last year's breakout season. Shakir is currently on pace for 80 receptions, 848 yards, and six touchdowns, all career highs. The team has done an excellent job of getting the ball into Shakir's hands on short-to-intermediate passes and letting him use his elusiveness to gain yards after the catch. Look for another high-usage day as quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills offense attack their divisional rival.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has emerged as the go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen as the team heads into the second half of the season. The 25-year-old receiver has seen five or more targets in each of the last four games and has established himself in the passing game as the team has been without tight end Dalton Kincaid. With Kincaid returning, Shakir should have more room to operate against a Chiefs defense that will be struggling to determine what option they will take away. Kansas City's third-ranked pass defense, allowing 177.8 yards per game, will be the matchup to watch, leading to a lower floor than expected for this offense. Shakir projects as a flex option heading into Week 9.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir made a strong statement in Week 8, catching six of seven targets for 88 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers. Facing a defense that plays zone coverage at the highest rate in the league, Shakir showcased his strength as a zone-beater and delivered in a big way. Fans and media members have been calling for a larger role for Shakir, and he proved them right in the first game out of the bye week. With Josh Allen under center and a clear path to the WR1 role in this offense, Shakir now projects as a reliable WR3 with upside for the rest of the season.

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir should be viewed as a flex play heading into a tough Week 8 matchup with the Panthers' ninth-ranked pass defense. Shakir leads the Bills with 25 receptions on the year, operating in an efficient passing game led by quarterback Josh Allen. With Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable for Sunday, the 25-year-old receiver could see an uptick in his target share and red zone usage. Look for the Bills to apply pressure on the defense early, and turn the game into a shootout to put pressure on Panthers backup quarterback Andy Dalton.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir broke out in his third year in the league in 2024 with career-highs across the board in catches (76), targets (100), and receiving yards (821), but it came with only four touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (nine starts). Going into Buffalo's Week 7 bye, Shakir had 25 receptions on 34 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns in six games. He scored in back-to-back games in Weeks 3 and 4, but he has not exceeded 70 receiving yards in a contest this year, while the Bills continue to spread the ball around in the passing attack. In half-PPR scoring, Shakir is just inside the top 50 wideouts with 8.6 points per game. Although the 25-year-old is one of the top wideouts in the Bills' offense, he's not a great fit in an offense that relies on power more than anything, and he's rarely targeted in the red zone. Fantasy managers might want to expect another quiet game this Sunday against a Carolina Panthers defense that has been much-improved in 2025 against the pass.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir could see an uptick in targets Monday night with tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable after limited practice participation this week. Shakir tied his season-high with nine targets in Week 5 and now sits tied for the team lead with 29 on the year, turning them into 235 receiving yards through five games. With the Bills set to face the NFL's top-ranked pass defense in Atlanta, Shakir will need to create separation against cornerbacks Mike Hughes and Dee Alford to stay productive. If Kincaid is ruled out, Shakir should serve as a reliable safety valve for Josh Allen and could offer sneaky PPR value as a volume-based WR3 or flex play in Week 6.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has been the definition of a boom-or-bust fantasy option through the first four weeks of the season, posting point totals of 9.4, 1.7, 12.5, and 15.4. His limited usage in the offense--typically fewer than six targets per game--makes him heavily touchdown dependent, which creates weekly volatility for fantasy managers. While Shakir's big-play ability gives him upside, it's difficult to predict when those breakout games will come, making him far more valuable in best ball formats than in standard redraft leagues. Heading into Week 5, Shakir should be treated as a mid-level flex option, ranking behind more reliable volume-based receivers such as Wan'Dale Robinson and Ladd McConkey. Managers seeking a safe floor may want to look elsewhere, but those chasing upside can still take the gamble.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has reestablished himself as the team's WR1. After a slow start, Shakir has hauled in all nine of his targets for 114 yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks, ranking as the WR14 during that span. Despite rookie Keon Coleman's explosive Week 1 performance, Shakir has now surpassed him in nearly every statistical category. Shakir draws a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Patriots, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. While his usage in Joe Brady's offense remains limited, Shakir profiles as a low-end WR3 for the rest of the 2025 season.
