Khalil Shakir and Garrett Wilson are the leading fantasy football wide receivers this year. They will be featured in Week 6 when the New York Jets face off against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Here's which one is a better pick for weekly lineups.
Is Khalil Shakir a good fantasy pick in Week 6?
Khalil Shakir has exceeded three receptions and 40 yards in each of his four games this season and totaled two touchdowns along the way. He has also finished among the top 30 weekly wide receivers in three of his four games, making him a useful option for starting lineups.
The challenge for Shakir in Week 6 is that he is facing off against the New York Jets, one of the best passing defenses in the NFL. This limits his upside this week, but as the target for Josh Allen, he still carries upside in fantasy football.
Is Garrett Wilson a good fantasy pick in Week 6?
Garrett Wilson was expected to be one of the best overall fantasy football wide receivers during the 2024 season with the addition of Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. He has failed to live up to those massive expectations, but he still ranks as the overall WR27 through five games.
The Jets appear committed to getting Wilson as involved as possible in their offense, including him setting a career-high with 23 targets last week. He also finished as the weekly WR6, so he will look to build off of that momentum in a matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
Khalil Shakir or Garrett Wilson: Who should I start in Week 6 fantasy football?
Garrett Wilson is the recommended wide receiver in Week 6 lineups over Khalil Shakir. Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Wilson will score nearly five additional fantasy points than Shakir in PPR scoring formats.
Wilson has higher projections for receptions and receiving yards this week. He is also more likely to score a touchdown, which contributes to his status as the favored pick. Shakir faces a terrible Week 6 game against the Jets' passing defense, which includes excellent cornerback Sauce Gardner, so managers should start Wilson.
