BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~114 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~133
ANALYSIS: With Stefon Diggs out of Buffalo, there is a giant void left behind in the Buffalo passing game. It may not be just one Buffalo receiver who fills that void but fantasy managers are anxiously trying to figure that out as whoever becomes Josh Allen's favorite target should have a lot of value this season.
Rookie Keon Coleman, veteran Curtis Samuel, and Khalil Shakir are the three main wide receivers vying for the WR1 position.
Khalil Shakir may not be listed as such but he is the #Bills WR1. He is going to become a household name in 2024.#BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/XkXcmfjY0f

Samuel has dealt with an injury this preseason and should be featured out of the slot this season. Coleman is likely to line up out wide, while Shakir has experience doing a little of both. Tight end Dalton Kincaid will surely help suck up some targets over the middle as well, but Shakir could easily emerge as the most reliable of the three receivers and he has the most experience of the bunch playing with Josh Allen.
Shakir had some impressive games last season on his way to 611 receiving yards and showed that he could make big plays, averaging 15.7 yards per catch. He has the talent and this season he should have the opportunity. Draft him with confidence in the later rounds.
