Must-Have DFS Player for Week 13: Khalil Shakir's Growing Importance

As the Buffalo Bills face challenges in their receiving corps, Khalil Shakir emerges as a key player in DFS lineups for Week 13.

Khalil Shakir on the Rise Amid Bills’ Receiver Issues

Khalil Shakir is stepping up as Josh Allen’s main receiver, making him a valuable asset in DFS lineups for Week 13 against Pittsburgh.

Performance Insight

Shakir, priced at $5,500 on DraftKings and $6,300 on FanDuel, is positioned for a potentially big outing this week. The Steelers are second in Fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, with over a dozen players scoring at least 15.3 PPR points against them this season.
Recently, Shakir has registered at least seven targets in four of his last five matches, achieving 17 or more PPR points in two of those games. In his latest match against Houston, he notched eight receptions for 110 yards on ten targets.

Injury Updates

The Bills are anxiously awaiting updates on Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who has missed the last two matches, while they also face uncertainty with Keon Coleman, who has been a healthy scratch. Buffalo has even gone as far as signing Brandin Cooks, a veteran recently released by New Orleans.

With only Shakir as a dependable receiving choice, he appears to be set for another significant game against the Steelers.
