However, Shakir doesn't look like a No. 1 wideout early on in the Week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here's a closer look at what's happening.
Is Khalil Shakir playing today?
Yes, Shakir is active and healthy, and he has been targeted twice, but he just hasn't been able to connect with quarterback Josh Allen.
The Bills' offense has struggled through the air and one of their drives was cut short due to an Allen interception, so opportunities have been limited for Shakir.
