Shakir is seeing more perimeter snaps with a higher ADOT

Khalil Shakir is seeing a shift in usage, playing 57% of snaps as a perimeter receiver in the preseason with a 15.5 ADOT. While he has historically been a slot-heavy receiver (71.5% career slot rate), this move outside could increase his efficiency but may also present a learning curve against premier cornerbacks.
