  1. i wonder how much these stats are inflated by him having the longest TD catch of the year so far.

    nevertheless he’s been excellent and i’d like to see him become one of the premier WR2’s of the league.

  2. Diggs and Davis soak up a lot of the best defenders in man coverage, which opens up space for Shakir to work. These stats will likely convince teams to look at shakir more, which might open up some space for Davis and Diggs to get some work done. The more the merrier!!

  3. Very much due to scheme. I’m not sure any of this would carry over to the #2 WR role. It might but there’s a lot more to it before he’s just jailed as the best choice for #2.

    Having said that, Gabe Davis might make it an easy decision to try Shakir there for sure …

  4. Once Knox is back, I want way more 12 personnel. Diggs, Shakir, Knox, Kincaid, Cook. Get our best offensive guys on the field. The benefit being you can do a lot of loving around with most of them and really fuck with a defense.
