Buffalo Bills
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Shakir put up a 208-2,878-20 line in four seasons at Boise State and averaged 96.6 YPG his final two years. He then ran a 4.43 40 at 6-0, 196, with solid marks in the other drills, thus looking like a steal as a 2022 fifth-round pick. Shakir nonetheless spent his rookie year at fourth or fifth on the depth chart and finished the regular season with 161 yards, though he went for 3-75-1 in Week 5 when Isaiah McKenzie was injured and later caught five passes for 91 yards in two playoff games. The Bills still have Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis -- plus they spent a first-round pick on TE Dalton Kincaid -- but they let McKenzie walk in free agency and only added two receivers who are arguably best known for their contributions on special teams (Deonte Harty, Trent Sherfield). That leaves Shakir with a nice shot to win a top-three role in a high-powered offense, which is all the more appealing after Davis failed to capitalize on his own breakout opportunity last season. There's a scenario where Shakir gets the second most targets on the team ... and another scenario where he spends most of the year on the bench again. Read Past Outlooks

Catches team's only receiving TD
WRBuffalo Bills
January 21, 2024
Shakir hauled in seven of nine targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 playoff loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Shakir got the start in place of the injured Gabe Davis (knee) and wound up having to briefly leave Sunday's playoff tilt with an injury of his own. The second-year wideout recovered quickly from his shoulder issue and finished the spot start as the Bills' top producer while leading his club in targets. Shakir finished a solid sophomore campaign (39/611/2 in the regular season) with a strong postseason receiving line of 10/75/2 across two playoff games. Buffalo has a decision to make on the aforementioned Davis this upcoming offseason, and Shakir's fine work as the Bills' slot man in 2023 could earn him more work alongside No. 1 wideout Stefon Diggs next season.

Outplays Diggs down stretch
WRBuffalo Bills
January 24, 2024
ESPN points out that Shakir had 462 receiving yards on 38 targets over Buffalo's last 10 games compared to 422 yards on 80 targets for Stefon Diggs over that same span.
ANALYSIS
Despite seeing significantly less volume than Diggs down the stretch, Shakir was Buffalo's most productive wideout in the second half of the season. Gabe Davis is set to be a free agent this offseason and is likely to sign elsewhere once he recovers from a knee injury, so Shakir could find himself starting on a full-time basis across from Diggs in 2024. If he can maintain his efficiency with a larger workload, Shakir could be poised for a breakout campaign.
See All NFL Rumors
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Somehow Shakir lasted all the way until the fifth round of this year's draft where the Bills selected him 148th overall, which could prove to be a steal for the team. However, the Boise State product starts his pro career in a crowded receiver room that features Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis as the clear-cut top duo, with Jamison Crowder, Isaiah McKenzie and Marquez Stevenson also in the mix. Shakir has the ability to emerge as a capable slot option down the road, but his fantasy impact may be limited out of the gate.
