Khalil Shakir's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught two passes for 19 yards in the team's 23-20 victory over the New York Jets. Those were his only two targets of the game. Shakir returned from a one-week absence to play on Monday Night Football but didn't play his regular allotment of snaps. The Buffalo coaching staff appeared to play it safe with their top wide receiver, who was questionable with an ankle injury when the day began. Once Shakir is fully healthy, he'll be in the weekly flex conversation. Fantasy managers will need to see it first before inserting Shakir back into starting lineups.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is officially active for the Monday night divisional showdown against the New York Jets to close out Week 6 action. Shakir injured his ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not play in last week's loss to the Houston Texans. Despite being listed as questionable to play, he'll make his return after a one-game absence and provide a much-needed boost to Buffalo's offense, which will be without top running back James Cook (toe) as the Bills look to end their two-game skid. When fully healthy, Shakir has operated as quarterback Josh Allen's top target so far this year, securing 18 of 19 targets for 230 yards and two touchdowns. However, it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload coming off his ankle injury on Monday night. At potentially less than 100%, Shakir has a difficult matchup against a tough Jets secondary.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) will be listed as questionable for the Week 6 divisional showdown on Monday night against the New York Jets. Shakir was unable to practice on Thursday and Friday, so he's apparently going to return to the practice field on Saturday in order to give himself a shot at suiting up in primetime on Monday. The 24-year-old pass-catcher injured his ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and sat out of the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans. It's good news that he's made some progress, but he's firmly in danger of missing his second straight game and is an extremely volatile fantasy option this weekend with Buffalo's game being on Monday night. If Shakir misses another game, rookie Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel will be more involved in the passing game, as well as tight end Dalton Kincaid against a stout Jets defense.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) didn't suit up for Friday's practice, which is now the third straight day that he has sat out. Shakir is in danger of missing his second straight game, but still has a chance to practice on Saturday. Head coach Sean McDermott recently said that Shakir is day-to-day, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it. If Shakir sits, Keon Coleman would move into the No. 1 wideout role. The rookie wideout finished with one reception on five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown last week without Shakir. He figures to once again have a bigger role if Shakir is unable to play.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday leading up to the Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets in Week 6. Shakir missed the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans with an ankle injury, so he could reasonably sit out the AFC East contest. While the third-year wideout out of Boise State has not been a fantasy superstar this year, he's reached double-digit PPR points in all four active games, making him a solid flex option. Fellow wide receiver Curtis Samuel (foot) and receiving back James Cook (foot/toe) are also banged up, so Buffalo could have a depleted skill group. These injuries could clear the way for a big game from tight end Dalton Kincaid, but wideouts Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins will likely be more involved if at least two of the three banged-up pass-catchers can't suit up this week. However, the Jets have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers this year, so it could be an ugly passing attack for Buffalo on Monday night.
