# Khalil Shakir

NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **BUF**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR
- **Team:** BUF (Buffalo Bills)
- **Bye week (2026):** 7
- **FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21):** 113

## 2026 Outlook

The Bills acquired DJ Moore in the offseason and drafted WR Skyler Bell in the fourth round, significantly crowding Buffalo's pass-catching room. After averaging 95–100 targets per season, Shakir is expected to see his target share decrease materially in 2026, moving him from a primary option to a secondary weapon (per 2026 NFL Draft: Dynasty Fantasy Football Winners And Losers From The AFC East).

## Role / Depth Chart

Primary slot receiver for Buffalo. Competing with DJ Moore (boundary WR1) and rookie Skyler Bell (emerging WR3) for targets in a crowded receiving room. Expected to operate primarily in the slot where he averaged 95-100 targets per season, but reduced volume likely with Moore and Bell development (per Four Bills' Rookies Who Will Actually Make an Impact in 2026—and Where).

## Injury Status

Recovering from right ankle surgery (February/early March 2026), likely a Tightrope procedure for repeated high-ankle sprains. Full participant in Phase 3 OTAs (May 20-24) wearing ankle stabilizer as precaution. Expected to be healthy for Week 1 with ample recovery time remaining. (per Buffalo Bills Phase 3 OTA Injury Report)

Historically dealt with two prior high-ankle sprains to same ankle before undergoing surgery. Stabilizer suggests ongoing precaution but good trajectory for full health by September.
