Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid work from the slot more than any other Buffalo pass catcher this season. That Shakir has been targeted on an ordinary 22 percent of his routes and Kincaid on just 21 percent of his routes probably means the Bills will have to have a high volume game against Baltimore to take full advantage of the slot matchups. It is a nice little matchup though: Only nine teams allow a higher completion rate over expected to the slot than the Ravens, and seven teams allow a higher success rate on slot attempts.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Shakir has a nice slot matchup vs. Ravens but Bills need volume to exploit it.

Shakir operates from the slot on a majority of his routes and faces a Ravens defense that allows only nine teams a higher completion rate over expected to the slot and seven teams a higher success rate on slot attempts; however, the Bills rank 28th in pass rate over expected since Week 3, meaning the offense will need high volume to capitalize on the favorable matchup.
