Buffalo Bills' Khalil Shakir Named NFL Most Underrated Player

In the 2024 NFL season, several players stood out as underrated contributors for their teams. Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir emerged as the team's top target following Stefon Diggs' trade, leading in targets, receiving yards, and PFF grades, yet remains underrecognized nationally; a 1,000-yard season in 2025 could change that perception. For the Seattle Seahawks, Pro Football Focus highlighted running back Kenneth Walker III as the best value player due to his high rushing grade and low salary, though some analysts favored wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, citing concerns about Walker's availability and declining efficiency. Seahawks safety Julian Love also earned recognition as one of the most underrated players across the NFL, excelling in both run defense and coverage while signing a lucrative contract extension. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders made a savvy signing in linebacker Elandon Roberts, a two-time Super Bowl winner who has become a key leadership and performance asset on a cost-effective one-year deal. These players demonstrate significant impact and value to their teams despite relatively low public or media attention.
