Khalil Shakir: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Khalil Shakir finished WR36 in 2025, but now costs WR56 at pick 136.5. That is 20 positional places behind his last finish; it creates a useful comparison, not a promise that he repeats it. Our published board ranks him #126, ahead of his price: draft at ADP, with pick 136 as the target.
Why this draft target?
- Our season projection is 10.1 PPR points per game. The model labels his risk low and upside moderate.
- His latest recorded season (2025) finished at WR36. The table below shows the full 3-season sample rather than treating one finish as a forecast.
- The unblended model ranks him #109, separately from the published board's #126. That disagreement is a caution to examine, not a different pick recommendation.
The verdict compares consensus ADP with the published board, not the raw model. A difference within two picks or 5% of ADP, whichever is larger, is fair price. Target pick also accounts for acquisition timing; it is not a guarantee of availability.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 126, 10.5 places higher than consensus ADP. Across 16 ranking sources the spread is 21 places — a long way apart. The unblended model sits about 28 places above the market. It is a separate signal from the published board and target pick.
The acquisition target is pick 136, round 14 in a 10-team league. Board rank orders player value; the target pick also accounts for market price. It is a guide, not a guarantee that the player will still be available. The replacement-level wide receiver we measure him against is Wan'Dale Robinson, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.

The track record
Across 3 drafted seasons in our sample, Khalil Shakir finished at or above his positional draft price 3 times. He returned a severe bust in 3 of them.
| Season | Drafted as | Finished | PPG | Games | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | WR44 | WR36 | 10.4 | 16 | Severe bust |
| 2024 | WR50 | WR37 | 12.2 | 15 | Severe bust |
| 2023 | WR104 | WR61 | 6.7 | 17 | Severe bust |
Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 60 FLEX scorers.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him low for risk and moderate for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says low risk: Low risk profile: injury-supported risk (48.0) with weekly/market volatility (45.6) as the secondary driver.
