2024: Shakir was a zone coverage dominator in 2024, going for 821 yards and four touchdowns on 76 receptions over 15 games. He profiled as Josh Allen’s go-to guy, especially against zone coverage. Shakir in 2024 somehow posted a higher yards per route run against zone looks than A.J. Brown, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Terry McLaurin, and Drake London, among others. He had nearly 25 percent of Buffalo’s receiving yards against zone coverage, a solid if unspectacular rate.
What’s changed: Shakir signed a four-year contract extension with Buffalo this offseason. The Bills also signed WR Josh Palmer in free agency.
2025 Outlook: Shakir enters the 2025 season as Buffalo’s unquestioned No. 1 wideout and could be one of the best receiver values on the draft board. If his route participation rate increases -- and it should, considering the team’s offseason commitment to him -- Shakir could be among the more consistent PPR producers with Allen looking his way in high leverage situations.
