Khalil Shakir: Everything you need to know

Shakir hauled in seven of nine targets for 75 yards in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday. Shakir led the Bills in receptions and targets after having posted a 12-82-0 line in the wild-card win over the Jaguars. The veteran wideout also recorded a game-high 46-yard catch in an early fourth-quarter drive that culminated in a go-ahead 14-yard scoring strike to Dalton Kincaid. Shakir's highly productive postseason was preceded by a similarly busy regular season, one where he generated a 72-719-4 line on 95 targets, rushed once for five yards, lost his only fumble and recorded 124 punt-return yards across 16 games.

Shakir caught all 12 of his targets for 82 yards in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday. Josh Allen was completely in sync with his top target to begin Buffalo's playoff run, as no other Bills players got more than five targets or hauled in more than three passes. Shakir's dozen catches were a new single-game high for his career, regular season or postseason, while the 82 yards were his best showing since Week 12. The Bills won't know who they're playing in the divisional round until after the weekend's games are over, but Shakir figures to see high volume no matter who the opponent is.

Shakir did not handle any snaps during Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. Shakir dressed for Week 18 but did not ultimately take the field, similarly to quarterback Josh Allen, who played only the first offensive snap of the regular-season finale in order to keep his streak of 135 games started intact. Across 16 total regular-season appearances in 2025, Shakir secured 72 of 95 targets for 719 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing once for five yards and compiling 124 yards as a punt returner. Shakir will resume operating as the No. 1 wideout for Buffalo's passing offense beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against Jacksonville.
