Khalil Shakir fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 1 (2025). Should you start or sit Khalil Shakir for fantasy football lineups in Week 1?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3/flex
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir enjoyed a career year in 2024, serving as the team's primary wideout. With Stefon Diggs leaving Buffalo, Shakr was able to become Josh Allen's go-to option in the passing attack.
Shakir caught 76 passes for 821 yards and four touchdowns on 100 targets. He saw just 65 combined targets over his first two seasons in the league.
During the offseason, the Bills only added veteran Joshua Palmer to the wide receiver room, suggesting that Shakir is going to face minimal competition for targets and should continue to serve as the No. 1 wideout.
Earlier in the week, Shakir was dealing with an ankle injury, but was able to log three straight full practices and avoided a questionable tag heading into Sunday's showdown between the high-powered Baltimore Ravens.
Given his role as the team's top pass catcher, Shakir should carry high-end WR3 value and be viewed as a strong flex in all formats, facing the Ravens in what could be a high-scoring fair featuring two MVP candidates at quarterback.
