Khalil Shakir

Week 4 @ Baltimore Ravens
Khalil Shakir operated almost exclusively out of the slot in Week 1, delivering a disappointing 3.7 aDOT but earned 31 yards after the catch. This includes a screen play that he took 11 yards to the house. He followed that up with a more reasonable 5-54-0 line in Week 2 but continued his ascension with a 6-71-1 line in Week 3. He has established himself as the most reliable wide receiver for the Bills, and he should be considered a WR3 moving forward.

Week 2 @ Miami Dolphins
Khalil Shakir operated almost exclusively out of the slot in Week 1, delivering a disappointing 3.7 aDOT but earned 31 yards after the catch. This includes a screen play that he took 11 yards to the house. His touchdowns aren't likely to be consistent throughout the year but he's an interesting deep WR4/Flex play in what could end up being a high-scoring game.

Week 10 vs. Denver Broncos
Khalil Shakir has come on the last three weeks and actually has outperformed No. 2 Bills receiver Gabe Davis. In that stretch, he has 14 receptions for 184 yards. His playing time has gone up the last two weeks to 65% and 71% of Buffalo's offensive plays.

It's a favorable matchup for Shakir this Sunday against Denver, but we want to see him continue to get the playing time and fantasy numbers before we insert him the lineup. If he is on waivers, he would be a good pickup at this time.
