Shakir's 2025 usage was short-range focused; punt return role should be reduced.

In 2025, Shakir was used mainly at or near the line of scrimmage with the lowest average depth of target among all wideouts with at least 50 targets, averaging just 3.8 yards per target. He also was used as a punt returner, returning 16 punts for 7.8 yards per return, both team-leading totals. The source suggests limiting his punt return usage to reduce unnecessary snaps and injury exposure.
