Outlook Khalil Shakir
Secure Slot Role in Buffalo Offers Reliable Flex Value at a Late-Round Discount
Operating as Buffalo's primary slot receiver, Khalil Shakir offers excellent stability in a high-powered passing game. After posting consecutive seasons of over 820 receiving yards, he continues to hold a secure role in the hierarchy alongside DJ Moore and Keon Coleman.
His current ADP has settled comfortably around 126.00 after some brief early-summer volatility. Fantasy managers currently roster him in 80% of leagues but are only starting him 30% of the time, confirming his market value as an elite bench option with spot-start appeal in PPR leagues.
Our models project another productive campaign for Shakir, forecasting 69 receptions on 95 targets for 759 yards and 4 touchdowns. While his upside may be capped by a crowded target tree, his high-efficiency floor makes him an outstanding draft-day steal at his current price.

Outlook Kayshon Boutte
Late-Round Flyer Status Backed by Volatile Trade Winds and Depth Chart Obstacles
Kayshon Boutte heads into the season in a challenging spot on the Patriots' depth chart. Positioned behind elite offseason acquisition A.J. Brown at left wide receiver, Boutte faces steep competition for targets alongside Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. Our projections expect a modest role, slating him for 24 receptions, 361 yards, and three touchdowns on 35 targets.
This quiet projection follows a turbulent offseason defined by trade speculation and skipped voluntary workouts. Although Boutte eventually reported to mandatory minicamp and voiced his desire to remain in New England long-term, his roster security and immediate offensive involvement remain highly volatile as he enters the final year of his contract.
The market has reacted accordingly, with his ADP fluctuating wildly. After a brief spike to 123 in early June amid minicamp headlines, his draft cost has plummeted back down to 181. Currently rostered in 23% of leagues with a 0% start rate, he is an unexciting late-round gamble rather than a fantasy value steal.
