Khalil Shakir Week 2 Outlook - Bills at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Shakir's Week 1 numbers look eerily similar to his stats when he assumed a full-time role last year. Shakir was third on the team with a 70% route per dropback rate while running from the slot on 81% of his snaps. Shakir has always been dynamic when on the field, but he has yet to prove that he can be a heavy target share earner, and that was true again in Week 1. Shakir had a 13% target share as he ran underneath routes (3.3 aDOT). Shakir managed 2.0 YPRR and 0.095 FD/RR, but he only commanded a 12.5% first-read share. Shakir has another plus matchup this week against a Miami pass defense that allowed the seventh-highest PPR points per target and the sixth-most receptions to slot receivers last year. Shakir will match up with Kader Kohou (2023: 83.5% catch rate and 132.9 passer rating) all day.
