ANALYSIS: Starting tight end Dawson Knox being on IR with a wrist injury had a butterfly effect on the rest of their offense. This shifted rookie Dalton Kincaid from the slot position where he had typically been playing to a full-time, traditional in-line tight end role. That meant Shakir shifted into the starting lineup as the slot receiver and Shakir gave the coaching staff something to think about. He played on 45 of the team's 69 snaps, ran 33 routes on 46 dropbacks, and finished with six targets.
He caught all six targets for 92 yards and finished with 12.2 half-PPR points. He had a productive Week 7 game, catching all four of his targets for 35 yards. That's back-to-back good games for the second-year player. With Knox on IR for the next three weeks, Shakir is likely to stay in the starting lineup as Buffalo's full-time slot position. He'll hold WR4 value with WR3 upside.
