BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Khalil Shakir is coming off his highest snap percentage of the season, playing in 76% of the snaps in their Week 10 loss. He finished with just one catch on two targets and finished without making much of an impact.
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 been playing to a full-time, traditional in-line tight end role.
That meant Shakir shifted into the starting lineup as the slot receiver and Shakir gave the coaching staff something to think about. He played on 45 of the team's 69 snaps, ran 33 routes on 46 dropbacks, and finished with six targets in Week 8. He caught all six for 92 yards and finished with 12.2 half-PPR points. He had a productive Week 7 game, catching all four of his targets for 35 yards.
Week 9 was a bit of a letdown, especially in what looked like it could be a high-scoring affair. Shakir did play the majority of snaps once again and finished with four targets, four receptions, and 57 yards. He’s a solid bench receiver to have until Knox returns. He’s operating as Buffalo’s slot receiver, which has been a lucrative role in seasons past.
