Outlook Khalil Shakir

Khalil Shakir vs BAL — Flex Appeal in Potential Shootout

Operating as Buffalo's primary slot receiver, Shakir enters Week 8 fully healthy after finding the end zone on six targets in his previous game. With fellow pass-catchers Dalton Kincaid and DJ Moore both carrying questionable tags into the week, Shakir could see a slight bump in targets from Josh Allen.

In a matchup boasting one of the week's highest projected scoring environments, our weekly projection expects Shakir to haul in roughly 4 receptions for 45 yards (9.5 fantasy points). While started in under 10% of fantasy leagues, his run-after-catch explosiveness makes him a viable Flex option.
