Aug 02, 2017

Sterling Shepard was looked at on sideline. He's in serious pain. Taken off on cart. Apparently in tears. Not good.

Related players: Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall, Roger Lewis

Update: Mike Garafolo tweeted, "Early for Giants WR Sterling Shepard but the team is hopeful it's just a bad roll of his ankle. Stay tuned."

Fantasy Impact:

Shepard is slated for WR3 duties behind Odell Beckham and Brandon Marshall, but his season may be in jeopardy based on this report. We'll have more details as they emerge. Roger Lewis played the most snaps (24%) of the remaining Giant receivers last year.

Bucs RBs yesterday:

* Snaps 40-31 Leonard Fournette
* Carries 13-11 Ronald Jones
* Targets 7-2 Fournette

Fantasy Impact:

Those who follow the team say Fournette is fully recovered from his ankle injury and perhaps that's starting to show in the workload. Fournette really made is mark in the passing game catching six of his seven targets. Fournette could be a PPR option thanks to that kind of usage in the passing game.

Touches for DET RBs yesterday:

* D'Andre Swift 13 (28 snaps)
* Adrian Peterson 12 (19 snaps)
* Kerryon Johnson 0 (14 snaps)

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Swift has made the climb to the top in terms of RB usage for the Lions. While Peterson ran 11 times to Swift's 9, Swift continue to lead the way in the passing game collecting four catches this past week. He's a safer option in PPR formats, but seems to be trending up in terms of overall usage.
