Latest news

Bills WR Khalil Shakir full participant in today's practice, Keon Coleman limited

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:21 PM EDT

Bills WR Khalil Shakir, who suffered a high ankle sprain in practice a month ago, was listed as full participant today on the season's initial injury report. WR Keon Coleman (groin) was limited.

Related Players: Joshua Palmer, Curtis Samuel, Dalton Kincaid

Fantasy Impact:

The whole Bills wide receiver room feels like a stay-away to begin the season, but Shakir should sneak himself back into WR3/4 consideration now that he's fully cleared. He'll need some more splash plays to be truly fantasy relevant, but he's in a good situation as a floor play against a Ravens team that could force a shootout. We'll keep an eye on Coleman's status, but he's more of a boom-bust option if he suits up.

BUF WR Curtis Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Over his three seasons with Washington, Curtis Samuel delivered mediocre fantasy lines with mediocre usage, but he has a chance at a career resurgence in Buffalo, reunited with OC Joe Brady. In his final year with Brady —in Carolina— Samuel finished as fantasy's WR25, with 77 receptions and 41 rush attempts. The competition for touches out of the receiving room in 2024 is minimal. Khalil Shakir should be pigeonholed for a slot role, Marquise Valez-Scantling and Chase Claypool aren't good, and rookie Keon Coleman is a raw prospect out of the gate. Samuel could very easily be the team's WR1.

Fantasy Downside
Samuel's seven-year career-high in receiving is 851 yards, and he has failed to breach 700 in any other season. If Keon Coleman catches on quickly, the team will likely want to push him into an every-down role and ease the loss of Stefon Diggs to the fanbase.

2024 Bottom Line
It's hard to grasp exactly how the team is going to use Samuel this season, but his late-round draft capital in an ambiguous situation makes him very intriguing. It would surprise no one if he and TE Dalton Kincaid become the primary pass-catching options in 2024, but Samuel has a long history of not being able to get his head above water in similar situations on other teams. He profiles as a great dart throw later in drafts, with a wide range of possible outcomes.
