Fantasy Football WR Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:
Khalil Shakir (Bills), was the highest recommended WR wa🦩ꦯiver wire pickup this week.
Analysis
Afte𒊎r sneaking Khalil Shakir into the column last week (at 62% rostership), I now have the pleasure of including him l🐠egally thanks to the 3% of Yahoo leagues that sent him to the waiver wire.
Thursday Night Football gave me no reasons to drop Shakir, who led the Bills in targets and catches (five each) and receiving yards (54) while running 16 routes (one fewer than team-leader Keon Coleman). Shakir had a de🐻cent game in a Buffalo blowout that featured just 13 Josh Allen completions. His 28% target share was extremely encouraging and through two games, he has more than double the touches of any other Bills wideout.
Moreover, the eye test tells me Shakir is not only the best receiver on the team (both as a route-runner and after the catch), but💝 also that he’s a legitimately talented player who will earn more opportunity ꦜas the season goes on.
If anyone is going to🌺 break out anywhere close to the “Stefon Diggs role” of years past, I believe it’s Shakir. Given the community temperature (more dropped in Week 2 than added), you can probably get him for cheap, but I woul🐷dn’t hate a higher bid if you’re in need.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football WR Rankings?
Andrei Iosivas (Bengals) and Mike Williams (Jets) are two of the best wide recei𒊎ver stashes ahead of Week 3.
Analysis
Andrei Iosivas – His fantasy output is a tad misleading, as Andrei Iosivas was used as the exclamation point in both TD drives for the Bengals, coming away with two TDs on just two catches in Week 2 after a 3-26-0 line in the first contest. With Tee Higgins still on the shelf, the sophomore is garnering more looks and could continue to produce if Higgins is still out on Monday Night.
Iosivas is still worth a look either way as he may end up in the former rဣole vacated by Tyler Boyd as🍷 the team’s WR3 when Higgins does return.
Mike Williams – As Mike Williams’ ACL tear from 2023 is farther and farther behind him, his usage is starting to ramp up for the Jets. In Week 1, the WR was on the field for 18% of the snaps which jumped up to 65% on Sunday in Tennessee despite seeing just one target which he did catch for 19 yards.
Williams should breez🉐e on by Alan Lazard in usage soon so grabbing him now may be beneficial if you’ve lost any WR depth.
