Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Khalil Shakir Play Week 5?
Khalil Shakir (ankle) ruled out Week 5
Khalil Shakir (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 5 vs the Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Shakir has been unable to practice in any capacity on Wednesday or Thursday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be practicing on Friday and will not play on Sunday. Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, and Curtis Samuel could all see an increased role in the offense with Shakir out.

Khalil Shakir (ankle) doesn’t practice again Thursday
Khalil Shakir (ankle) didn’t practice yet again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday marks the second-straight practice that Shakir has missed because of an ankle injury. His status for Week 5 is up in the air right now, but we should get some more clarity about his status following Friday’s practice. Rookie Keon Coleman will be in line for a bigger role if the veteran misses Sunday’s game.

Khalil Shakir (ankle) not practicing Wednesday
Khalil Shakir (ankle) is not participating at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Shakir is dealing with ankle soreness that left him sidelined at Wednesday’s practice. It’s not considered a serious issue, and the team will continue to evaluate his status over the next few days. If for some reason he’s limited or out in Week 5, that would mean good things for the fantasy value of Dalton Kincaid and rookie Keon Coleman.

Khalil Shakir to have availability evaluated over week
Khalil Shakir is expected to have his availability evaluated throughout the week.
Fantasy Impact
Shakir got his ankle banged up early in Sunday’s loss against the Ravens, but did return to the game after he had it taped up. He can be considered as day-to-day.

What the Experts Are Saying
Shakir banged up his ankle last week. He didn’t practice on Wednesday. His Week 5 status is up in the air. I’ll update his outlook on Friday.
