Outlook Khalil Shakir
Khalil Shakir at Houston — Return to Practice Solidifies PPR Flex Appeal
After missing time late in training camp with an undisclosed injury, Shakir returned to the practice field on Wednesday and is officially listed as healthy ahead of Week 1. Working as Buffalo's primary slot receiver with Josh Allen under center, Shakir looks to build upon back-to-back 800-yard campaigns despite new additions like DJ Moore crowding the target hierarchy.
Fantasy managers largely benched him during his injury scare—rostered in 73% of leagues but starting in just 3%—yet our projections point to immediate utility with 4.6 receptions for 48 yards (10.6 fantasy points) against Houston. In what should be a competitive indoor clash, Shakir offers a dependable PPR floor as a viable flex option.

Outlook Caleb Douglas
Caleb Douglas at Raiders — Rookie steps into starting role in season opener
Rookie wideout Caleb Douglas secured a Week 1 starting role on the outside after flashing dynamic playmaking throughout camp and the preseason. Miami cleared out veteran depth at receiver before the opener, positioning Douglas to start on the perimeter alongside Jalen Tolbert and Malik Washington with Malik Willis under center.
While his elevation to the starting lineup makes him an intriguing speculative stash, fantasy managers should keep expectations tempered for his debut. In a matchup carrying a modest projected total against Las Vegas, our models project Douglas for 2 catches and 25 receiving yards on 3.3 targets. With only a 1% start rate, leave him on your bench until his target volume becomes consistent.
