2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shakir looked like a steal in Round 5 of the 2022 Draft, coming out of Boise State after averaging more than 62 yards per game in three straight seasons. He's neither physically dominant nor lacking, having run a 4.43 40 at 6-0, 196, with mediocre marks for jumps and agility drills at the 2022 Combine. Shakir was the Bills' fourth or fifth WR as a rookie and into his second season, finally getting a bigger opportunity in the second half of 2023 after the Bills got next to nothing from Deonte Harty/Trent Sherfield and had TE Dawson Knox miss a month due to a wrist injury. While he never drew more than six targets in a single game, Shakir hauled in 39 of his 45 chances during the regular season, finishing with 611 yards (13.6 YPT) and two TDs. He then got more snaps in the playoffs with Gabe Davis absent, capitalizing to the tune of 10-75-2 on 12 targets across two games. Now Davis is gone, as is Stefon Diggs, though the Bills brought in Curtis Samuel and second-round pick Keon Coleman to make sure the burden doesn't totally fall on Shakir. That's probably smart, considering enthusiasm over Shakir's massive per-target production in 2023 is largely tempered by his extremely low rate of targets per route run (13.3 percent). The rate figures to rise with Diggs out of the picture, but Samuel, Coleman and (especially) TE Dalton Kincaid also have arguments to be the team target leader. Shakir is much more likely to settle in as a solid second/third WR than he is to truly break out. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Perfect in Week 7 win
Shakir recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Shakir's role in Buffalo's new-look offense after the addition of Amari Cooper was unclear entering this matchup, but he still led the team in receptions. Despite that, his numbers were muted relative to both Cooper and Keon Coleman -- both of whom hit for big plays -- as Shakir was used primarily in the short areas of the field. Shakir should remain a key target for Josh Allen due to the duo's pre-existing rapport, and he could become more efficient with defensive attention spread across multiple pass catchers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Shakir put up a 208-2,878-20 line in four seasons at Boise State and averaged 96.6 YPG his final two years. He then ran a 4.43 40 at 6-0, 196, with solid marks in the other drills, thus looking like a steal as a 2022 fifth-round pick. Shakir nonetheless spent his rookie year at fourth or fifth on the depth chart and finished the regular season with 161 yards, though he went for 3-75-1 in Week 5 when Isaiah McKenzie was injured and later caught five passes for 91 yards in two playoff games. The Bills still have Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis -- plus they spent a first-round pick on TE Dalton Kincaid -- but they let McKenzie walk in free agency and only added two receivers who are arguably best known for their contributions on special teams (Deonte Harty, Trent Sherfield). That leaves Shakir with a nice shot to win a top-three role in a high-powered offense, which is all the more appealing after Davis failed to capitalize on his own breakout opportunity last season. There's a scenario where Shakir gets the second most targets on the team ... and another scenario where he spends most of the year on the bench again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ruled out for Sunday
Shakir will not play in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Texans due to an ankle injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills' top wideout, who's posted an 18-230-2 line on 19 targets in 2024, developed ankle soreness after logging 34 snaps in a Week 4 loss to the Ravens on Sunday night, and he failed to practice all week. In his absence against Houston, Curtis Samuel is one of the players that head coach Sean McDermott expects to enjoy an elevated role.
