Outlook Khalil Shakir
Efficient Slot Specialist Poised for Expanded Target Share
Khalil Shakir enters the upcoming season positioned as the primary slot receiver in a high-powered Buffalo offense. After steadily increasing his production over his first few years, Shakir is coming off a productive campaign where he hauled in 80 receptions for 829 yards and four touchdowns. Our models project him to log another steady campaign with 69 catches for 759 yards and four scores, maintaining strong efficiency in the short-to-intermediate passing game.
His draft market has seen notable volatility this offseason. After opening draft season with an inflated ADP in the early 80s back in early June, his price corrected and stabilized at 126.00 through late July. This market correction transforms him into an intriguing value selection for fantasy managers looking for reliable PPR floor in the middle rounds, especially considering his established rapport with the offense.
Operating atop the slot depth chart ahead of Skyler Bell, Shakir remains a trusted piece in the team's aerial attack. While his touchdown upside might be somewhat limited by red-zone distribution, his high catch rate and growing trust from fantasy managers—evidenced by an 81% roster rate—make him a dependable roster piece and a solid depth option for your lineups.

Outlook Allen Lazard
Fading Fantasy Relevance After a Career-Low Campaign
Allen Lazard enters the 2026 season looking to rebound after a highly disappointing 2025 campaign. He managed just 11 receptions for 79 yards and a single touchdown across 10 games. Our data shows his fantasy roster percentage has plummeted to zero, reflecting the fantasy community's complete lack of faith in his recovery.
Looking back at his career stats, Lazard has shown flashes, particularly during his 2022 season where he posted 788 yards and six touchdowns. However, his efficiency and volume have cratered over the last two years. Without a secure role or team depth-chart status, he is completely off the fantasy radar in standard formats.
Unless he finds a favorable situation that grants him regular snaps and targets, Lazard is not worth drafting. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire. Our models project him to remain a depth option with extremely limited weekly upside.
