Week one sort of route distribution, route deployment.

How do you expect this wide receiver room to look in week one?

We gotta see what happens with Curtis Samuel, like just battling from an injury.

If there's gonna be any limitations around that when he comes back into play, I'm expecting it to be Khalil Shakur and a Kon Coleman in terms of overall usage for week one.

Now for the whole season, I like taking stabs on Kon Coleman in fantasy drafts when he was 1/10 round pick.

See what the upside look like.

They're gonna have to just in some regards, feed him the ball more than usual.

Just how many vacated targets are there where they spent the draft capital on him.

But for week one, Khalil Shakur is my favorite receiver.

He's, he's healthy compared to Curtis Samuel.

He's somebody who's available in nearly 50% of Yahoo Leagues right now.

And this was a guy who, when he was targeted last year was highly efficient in the offense.

He had over 15 P pr points per game last year and 42% of his games and he didn't even start to play a lot until Joe Brady took over and now Stefan Diggs is gone.

Now Gabe Davis is gone.

I think that he can run 3032 routes in this game as a 27 point team total.

That's really appealing.

Yeah, Koshi here is a good player.

Uh He was one of my favorite draft Sleepers when he was coming out.

Uh that year.

I thought he went way too late in the fifth round.

I thought he's more of like a third round pick.

I think he's played well, went and called upon and Curtis S was far and away.

My favorite Bills receiver this off season, but since he's been injured a little bit, I've come lower on him and risen up Khalil Shakir.

So I, I think Shaki probably leads the team in routes, run week one would be my guess.

And then my other guess is that Matt Collins is gonna run more routes than people want in week one.

That's my other prediction there on these Bills wide receivers.

But otherwise I'm, I'm mostly in line uh, with a lot of what you said there.

II, I will say I'm, I'm tracking Kon Coleman's week one role and, and just kind of how much they put on his plate.
