Is Khalil Shakir playing today? Why Bills WR is off to slow start in Week 13 image

Despite all the hype surrounding Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir is once again the Buffalo Bills' No. 1 wide receiver in 2025.

Shakir entered Week 13 with 564 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He ranks first in the former category and tied for the second in the latter.

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.

Hopefully he gets going soon.
