ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has played 65% or more of the team's snaps in five straight games. He's logged 90 or more yards twice in that span with one touchdown.
Starting tight end Dawson Knox being on IR with a wrist injury had a butterfly effect on the rest of the Bills' offense in Week 8. This shifted rookie Dalton Kincaid from the slot position where he had typically played to a full-time, traditional in-line tight end role. That meant Shakir shifted into the starting lineup as the slot receiver and he gave the coaching staff something to think about.
Since then, Shakir has been consistently on the field and a primary option in the team's passing attack. He's shifted into being the Bills' primary slot receiver. His production has been decent enough for a bench option. He's scored 12.2, 7.7, 2.9, 19.0, and 6.2 half-PPR points since his promotion. He has four or more targets in four of those five games, but never more than six. What makes him a viable streamer is Josh Allen's excellence, the high pass volume in the Buffalo offense, and the dreadful Bills defense. He should be viewed as a WR4/5. The Bills were on a bye last week, but they’ll return to action this week. There’s been no news on the return of Knox, which keeps Shakir on the streamer list in deeper leagues.
