Should I start Khalil Shakir or Denzel Boston in Week 10?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Khalil Shakir, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 110th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Khalil Shakir is 2.0 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Denzel Boston is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Khalil Shakir's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Khalil Shakir has been on the field for 64 percent of BUF snaps, drawn 19 percent of the targets and had 9 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 9 of the offence's 58 third down targets, had 1 of its 27 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 32 two minute targets.

His 42 targets have averaged 5.4 air yards.

In Week 6 against LV he caught 4 of 6 targets for 34 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Khalil Shakir played 16 games and scored 166.4 PPR points, 10.4 a game, finishing WR36.

He caught 72 of 95 targets for 719 yards and 4 touchdowns, with 13 red zone targets.

That came to 5.9 targets a game, a 76 percent catch rate and 10.0 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 60 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Denzel Boston is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Head to head

This season Denzel Boston holds the bigger snap share, 91 percent against 64 percent.

This season Denzel Boston holds the bigger target share, 22 percent against 19 percent.

Byes and availability

Khalil Shakir is off in Week 7 and Denzel Boston in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
