From the article

Shakir led the team in targets (95), receptions (72), and receiving yards (719)... In the playoffs, Shakir was once again quarterback Josh Allen's go-to guy, leading the team by a wide margin in targets (21), receptions (19), and receiving yards (157)... he's already looking like he might have a different, more diverse role this season. He's been used much more downfield in practices so far.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Shakir's 2026 role expansion and downfield usage should unlock untapped upside.

Shakir led the Bills in targets (95), receptions (72), and receiving yards (719) in 2025, with 4 receiving touchdowns. In the playoffs, he led the team in targets (21), receptions (19), and receiving yards (157). The source projects improved production in 2026 due to a more diverse role; Shakir has been used much more downfield in practices and could approach his 2023 production of 16.8 yards per reception, when the Bills had Stefon Diggs as a true alpha receiver.
