2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Similar Share, New Risk
As a fifth-round pick four years ago, Shakir has steadily increased his importance to this Bills offense. He’s coming off back-to-back seasons where he’s accounted for at least an 18% target share.
The team brought DJ Moore in from the Bears this offseason, but Shakir is still in line for a similar share.
Josh Allen has averaged at least 18 passing fantasy points per game in five of the past six seasons, giving this offense room to support multiple productive fantasy receivers.
Shakir has a clear path to improve on last year’s fantasy output, but the undisclosed injury could get in the way early in the season.
We’ll update you as more information on Shakir’s undisclosed injury becomes available.
