Khalil Shakir at Houston — Healthy Slot Weapon Poised for Steady Volume

After missing practice time earlier this month with an undisclosed issue, Shakir returned to the field this week with a clean bill of health. He opens the season as Buffalo's primary slot receiver alongside DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer, offering Josh Allen a proven, reliable target across the middle.

Fantasy managers have exercised caution, but our projections anticipate a solid showing with around 4.5 receptions and 47 yards (10.4 fantasy points). Facing Houston in a projected close contest, Shakir provides a stable floor and works well as a PPR Flex option.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks

Jonathon Brooks vs. CHI — Risky Flex Option While Managing Groin Injury

Brooks enters Week 1 listed as questionable due to groin soreness, though both he and head coach Dave Canales expressed confidence he will suit up against Chicago. Working behind Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's backfield, Brooks should see a rotational share of touches if active, particularly with Trevor Etienne sidelined on injured reserve.

Fantasy managers have taken a cautious approach, starting him in under 20% of leagues. Our weekly projection forecasts around 10 carries, 44 rushing yards, and two receptions against the Bears. In a home matchup with decent scoring upside, Brooks profiles as a risky flex option who is best benched if possible. Check back before kickoff for final updates.
