Trends


"After two years in a situational role, Shakir emerged as Josh Allen's top target in 2024. The results were good in reality -- he caught 77% of his targets and was elite with the ball in his hands (7.9 RAC), both of which ranked fourth among WRs -- but not as much in fantasy. Shakir finished 35th in fantasy PPG and had little upside (his best weekly finish was 10th). He handled a 23% target share (an appealing number in a great offense), but most of it is in the short area (29% of his targets were screens) and he simply doesn't get much run near the goal line (seven career TDs and five career end zone targets). The 25-year-old's role drastically limits his ceiling and, especially with Keon Coleman and perhaps Dalton Kincaid ticketed for a leap forward, Shakir is best valued as a flex."


"Shakir led all Buffalo receivers in targets and receptions Sunday, but a lack of explosive plays resulted in the wideout finishing third on the team in yardage. Veteran teammate Brandin Cooks (4-101-0) surprisingly finished as the team's leading receiver while WR Keon Coleman remained a healthy scratch for the second straight game. Shakir has provided value in PPR formats with 72 receptions through 16 starts, but his 719 receiving yards and four touchdowns leave much to be desired as a starting option in standard fantasy leagues."
