Should You Start or Sit Khalil Shakir in Week 7?
The most efficient receiver in the sport missed Week 5 with an ankle injury. While he played through the injury on Monday night, his 36.7% snap share ranked fourth among Buffalo receivers.
There haven’t been any reports suggesting that a setback occurred. That has me projecting a snap share closer to the 57.7% rate that he posted through the first month. Shakir’s ability to maximize the value of every target is a skill I love having access to in a PPR league. But he’s the type of player that I’m happy to be a wee bit late on rather than a week early in terms of reinserting him into lineups.
His path to mattering revolves around volume, and if he’s at risk of coming off the field like he did last week, the floor is worrisome. I’m not paying Shakir this week, but if we see him assume the role he had pre-injury, I’ll be talking him up as a Flex in Week 8 against the Seahawks.
