Khalil Shakir Still In Play In Week 12

Khalil Shakir Still In Play In Week 12

12 months ago

If you had to guess which player led the way in full-PPR fantasy points per target among qualifiers, we bet you wouldn't guess Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir. Shakir is also pacing eligible wideouts in catch rate (88.0%) and sits second in yards per target (14.5). Buffalo's shift to a lesser amount of 12-personnel sets offensively without Dawson Knox (wrist, IR) has worked straight to Shakir's benefit, as he's averaging 72.6 yards with two total touchdowns in five career games sans Knox since 2022. Floating around 70% of the team's offensive snaps over this interval, Shakir is a perfectly viable WR3/4 option with a low floor and high ceiling in anticipation of arguably the most attractive game environment of Sunday's slate against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly's defense has given up the second-most points per game to slot receivers (20.3) this year, per Razzball.
