Khalil Shakir fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2025). Should you start or sit Khalil Shakir for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir operated as the team's primary wideout in 2024 but has taken on a smaller role to begin the 2025 season. Last season, Shakir enjoyed a career season, catching 76 passes for 821 receiving yards and four touchdowns. In 2023, Shakir played in a depth role in the offense, totaling just 611 yards on 39 catches.
Through the first two games of 2025, Shakir has caught only seven passes. Most of his production came in Week 1, when he caught six of his nine targets for 64 yards. In their Week 2 victory over the Jets, the Bills relied heavily on their rushing attack, which resulted in Shakir catching just one of his two targets for 12 yards.
While the Bills do have a better matchup facing the Miami Dolphins, Shakir still enters this contest as a fringe WR3/flex option. Through the start of the season, second-year wideout Keon Coleman has seen his role increase, and he has emerged as Josh Allen's top target, which has hindered Shakir's production.
While Shakir could find a path to producing fWR3 value, especially if the Dolphins can put points on the board, his recent production is not very promising.
As a result, Shakir carries risky WR3/FLEX value on Thursday night.
