Khalil Shakir Knows How Important Bills' Acquisition of Amari Cooper Could Be With the Pro Bowl receiver entering the fray in Buffalo, their offense could be even better than it was before.
Khalil Shakir: "Focus In On The Details" Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir addressed the media. Topics include: the addition of Amari Cooper to the team, having a younger wide recei...
OCTOBER 16 • BUFFALOBILLS.COM
Joined by Cooper in receiver room Shakir is expected to move down a spot on the depth chart after the Bills acquired Amari Cooper from the Browns on Tuesday, Matt Bove of 7 News Buffalo reports.
Impact After trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans in April, the Bills had been leaning on a committee of receivers to help replace the four-time Pro Bowler's production through the first six weeks of the season. Shakir had been the de facto No. 1 option and led the position group in catches (20), receiving yards (249) and targets (21), but he'll fall back into more of a supporting role while Cooper presumably steps in as quarterback Josh Allen's new top target. Bove speculates that Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman will line up alongside Cooper as the Bills' preferred wideout trio, but Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could all get sprinkled in to varying degrees.

Grabs two receptions on MNF Shakir (ankle) suited up and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday's 23-20 victory over the Jets.
Impact Shakir posted his lowest fantasy output of the season in his first game back from an ankle injury. Given the situation, fantasy managers should not make any rash moves before the Bills' No. 1 receiver shows full health. Shakir should remain a viable option heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Titans.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Available versus Jets Shakir (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against the Jets.
Impact Shakir -- who didn't play in the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Texans -- was listed as a non-participant on Thursday and Friday's practice reports but was able to log a limited session Saturday before being deemed questionable for the contest. It remains be seen how close to 100 percent he'll be on Monday, but barring any in-game setbacks he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role in a Buffalo WR corps that also includes Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for MNF Shakir (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Jets after returning to a limited practice Saturday.
Impact After being listed as a non-participant on Thursday and Friday's practice reports, Shakir was able to log a limited session Saturday before being officially deemed questionable. While Shakir's availability (either way) versus New York won't be confirmed until Buffalo's inactives are revealed ahead of Monday's 8:15 PM ET kickoff, fellow WRs Curtis Samuel (toe) and Mack Hollins (shoulder) both upgraded to full participation Saturday and don't carry Week 6 injury designations.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Monday Shakir will be a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is expected to be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The news dump comes before the Bills take part in practice Saturday, so it's possible something could change. Assuming Shakir does practice, it would mark the first time the 24-year-old has participated in any fashion over the past two weeks.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Non-participant in walk-through Shakir (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Friday's walk-through.
Impact The availability of Shakir, who didn't practice last week, thus remains cloudy ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. If he remains sidelined Week 6, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins (shoulder), Curtis Samuel (toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line to lead the Bills' WR corps, pending the status of Hollins and Samuel, who were deemed limited both Thursday and Friday.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Still not practicing Shakir (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Shakir didn't practice last week before sitting out this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, so his continued absence Thursday clouds his status for Monday night's game against the Jets. The wideout now has two more chances to return to the field ahead of the contest, but if he remains sidelined in Week 6, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins (shoulder), Curtis Samuel (toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line to lead the team's WR corps versus New York, pending the availability of Hollins and Samuel, who were limited Thursday.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Still not practicing Shakir (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Shakir, who was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Texans, also didn't practice last week, so his status for this Monday night's game against the Jets remains cloudy at this stage. In his Week 5 absence, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel (foot) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling handled the Bills' WR duties versus Houston.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Still not practicing Shakir (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Shakir didn't practice in any capacity last week before sitting out Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. His continued absence from practice makes Shakir's availability for Monday's game against the Jets cloudy at this stage. While Shakir was sidelined Week 5, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel (foot) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling served as the Bills' top four receivers, but none of the quartet made a major mark on the box score on a day that quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts.

Bills' Ed Oliver, Khalil Shakir ruled out for Sunday against the Texans Oliver suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Thursday.
OCTOBER 4 • SYRACUSE.COM
Ruled out for Week 5 Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Shakir (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Texans.
Impact Shakir, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, will thus target a potential return to action Oct. 14 against the Jets. In his absence Sunday, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Curtis Samuel are on hand to lead Buffalo's Week 5 WR corps.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Misses another practice Shakir (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Impact Shakir has now missed back-to-back practices due to an ankle issue. He played a normal assortment of offensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to the Ravens in Week 4, but unless Shakir can upgrade his participation level Friday, it looks like his status could be in jeopardy for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could all benefit from increased opportunities if Shakir misses any time.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Not practicing Shakir (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Impact Shakir played a full game Sunday night at Baltimore but apparently injured his ankle somewhere along the way. He's been the de facto No. 1 for a spread-the-wealth Buffalo passing attack, with his 19 percent target share and 230 receiving yards leading the team. An absence for Sunday's game at Houston would leave more snaps for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and/or Curtis Samuel while increasing the target projections for Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with sore ankle Shakir is contending with ankle soreness ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact With that in mind, coach Sean McDermott noted that the Bills will will monitor Shakir's status daily ahead of Week 5 action. The wideout thus appears likely to have his practice participation impacted, with further context on that front set to arrive Wednesday.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Targets caught streak snapped at 30 Shakir caught four of five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Shakir's first catch surpassed Michael Thomas' mark of 27 from 2018 for the most consecutive targets caught by an NFL wide receiver since at least 1991. That streak bumped up to 30 before a pass in Shakir's direction fell incomplete in the second quarter. He bounced back with a 52-yard catch in the third quarter, but that was the highlight of an otherwise quiet night for Buffalo's offense. Shakir finished with the team lead in receiving yards for a third consecutive game despite missing a few plays to have his ankle taped up in the first half, so he's the clear No. 1 option in Buffalo's passing game heading into a Week 4 trip to Houston.

Emerging as Allen's new WR1 Shakir caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards Monday, and he has established himself as the top option in Buffalo's new-look wide receiver room after the offseason departure of Stefon Diggs to Houston. The highlight of Shakir's night was a 27-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, which was one of four first-half touchdown passes thrown by Josh Allen. Shakir has caught all 14 of his targets this season for 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns heading into another primetime game on SNF against the Ravens in Week 4.
