Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is one fantasy football sleeper who's lived up to the hype for managers this year. Shakir has double-digit PPR fantasy points in all four of his games this season and ranks as the WR20 in PPR scoring. Not bad for someone drafted in the very late rounds or not at all in most drafts.
Shakir has been the Bills' most consistent receiver, and it'll probably stay that way for a while. Rookie WR Keon Coleman has already been disciplined for behavior outside of games by the Bills, Mack Hollins isn't good, and veteran Curtis Samuel has less than half the targets that Shakir does.
It is concerning, then, that Shakir is on the injury report now. Is he hurt or healthy and will he suit up in Week 5 when the Bills face the Houston Texans?

Khalil Shakir Injury Update for Fantasy Football
The Bills breakout receiver is suffering from ankle soreness. His ankle was hurt in the classic ankle-gets-rolled-while-foot-pinned-underneath-body fashion, which is commonplace in a sport where making guys who are running stop running by lowering them until they are on the ground is a way of life.

I think I see his right ankle getting trapped as the defender rolls him. Possible high ankle/medial ankle injury

Shakir had his ankle tended to by the medical staff and got it taped up before returning to and finishing the game. His drive couldn't be questioned in the losing effort against the Baltimore Ravens, and hopefully, he didn't make it worse by continuing to play.
His injury isn't seen as serious, though. He could've suffered a mild low ankle sprain, and he isn't expected to miss games.

This is one to keep an eye on, though. Ankle injuries are always tricky. Be sure to check back for updates, and be prepared to check just before game time if he has a questionable designation.
