The Buffalo Bills will visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Khalil Shakir.
Is Shakir Playing in Week 10?
Shakir is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Shakir in Week 10?
Khalil Shakir is important to the Bills, and that keeps him in our starting lineups, though it’s rarely fun.
He accounted for three of Josh Allen’s six completions on the first drive last weekend in a statement win over the Chiefs, a clear design from the coaching staff to stay on time and ahead of the chains.
That’s great.
But would a shot play every once in a while be the end of the world?
He finished Week 9 with seven catches and under one air yard. That’s hard to do.
The beauty in those short targets is the completion rate, and in a PPR setting, those are the type of “free” points that can win you a week. Shakir is among the best in the NFL in terms of picking up yardage after the catch, and that’s what Buffalo loves about him.
That said, without any receiver really establishing himself as a consistent deep threat, what would be the harm in the occasional double move from this slot machine?
I’m allowed to dream, aren’t I?
I don’t think we get that anytime soon, but his 6-8 highly efficient targets are going to land Shakir as a PPR WR2 more often than not. He caught every pass thrown his way and found the end zone in the Week 3 showdown with these Dolphins, and I think you can pencil in another 12-15 points with relative ease this week.
He’s the only Bills WR that should be rostered at this point.
