The Bills are hosting the Dolphins for Thursday Night Football. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Buffalo is favored by 12.5 points and this game carries a total of 49.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Khalil Shakir prop to consider from this contest.

Best Khalil Shakir Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Khalil Shakir U 42.5 Receiving Yards (-113)

With many mouths to feed for the Bills, Shakir is handling just the third-highest target share for Buffalo this season (15.7%). The veteran was held to just one catch for 12 yards last week vs. the Jets. While Shakir is facing a Dolphins’ defense tonight that is allowing the third-most yards per pass this season (9.1), this isn’t an appealing spot for slot receivers.

Miami is giving up the fewest catches (6) and the fewest receiving yards to players who line up in the slot this season (44), which doesn’t bode well for Shakir, as 77.8% of his routes have come from the slot this season.

The Dolphins haven’t surrendered any receptions over 15 yards to a player who lined up in the slot this season. While the Bills are likely to score a ton of points Thursday night, Shakir should be in store for a quiet outing.
