Khalil Shakir

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Buffalo Bills
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Scores in romp over Raiders
WRBuffalo Bills
September 19, 2023
Shakir caught his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
The Bills have a crowded offense, and barring injury, it's going to be tough for anyone else to leapfrog the big three of Stefon Diggs, James Cook and Gabe Davis. Shakir is instead battling for the leftovers with the 1-2 punch at tight end of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, as well as fellow depth receivers Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty. Shakir played only 15 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win, less than Sherfield (41 percent) or Harty (19 percent).

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Somehow Shakir lasted all the way until the fifth round of this year's draft where the Bills selected him 148th overall, which could prove to be a steal for the team. However, the Boise State product starts his pro career in a crowded receiver room that features Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis as the clear-cut top duo, with Jamison Crowder, Isaiah McKenzie and Marquez Stevenson also in the mix. Shakir has the ability to emerge as a capable slot option down the road, but his fantasy impact may be limited out of the gate.
