Khalil Shakir In The Low-Ceiling Flex Conversation In Week 2
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir scored a touchdown in Week 1, but that's all he did to excite fantasy managers.

Josh Allen will score a lot of […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman begins his second week of professional, regular season football leading the team in most statistical receiving categories.

BALLER MOVE: Consider in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For a five-week stretch in 2023, Demarcus Robinson was a top-12 fantasy football wide receiver.
