Khalil Shakir Dynasty Value

Bills WR Josh Palmer (ankle) is inactive for today's game vs. the Steelers. WR Keon Coleman is back in the lineup, alongside WRs Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Shakir is the only viable fantasy play here.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir caught eight of 10 targets for a season-high 110 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Texans. It was a strong bounce back from Week 11, when he finished with negative-three yards on one catch. As usual, most of Shakir's work came near the line of scrimmage vs. Houston. But he made two big plays in key moments. The first came on a swing pass off jet motion on a third-and-12 in the fourth quarter. Shakir caught the short pass and shook two Texans defenders for a 44-yard gain. Then, facing a fourth-and-22 late in the fourth, the Bills called and perfectly executed a hook-and-ladder. WR Josh Palmer caught the ball 11 yards downfield and pitched to Shakir, who picked up another 33 yards to get the first down. Shakir does not get credit for a catch on that play, but does get the 33 receiving yards.
