Khalil Shakir (Buffalo Bills)

Since Joe Brady took over as offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, Khalil Shakir has seen his role increase within the offense. In their last two games, Shakir has had six receptions, 162 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Of the wide receivers on this list, outside of the Texans, the Buffalo Bills have probably the most opportunity for the position. The schedule is also pretty managable for Shakir as the slot receiver with games against the Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, and Patriots over the next four weeks.

However, Shakir's target share isn't great with only nine over the past two weeks. The reason his receiving yards is so high is due to an 81-yard touchdown against the Jets. On top of that, Dawson Knox is expected to return from injured reserve soon and this could also limit his chances.

Khalil Shakir certainly has a high ceiling with Josh Allen throwing him the ball but he is going to be pretty inconsistent from a week-to-week basis.
