Giants WR Sterling Shepard carted off the field 'in tears'

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.

Steelers have signed QB Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021.

Fantasy Impact:

It's highly unlikely we'll see a return to prior 2019 form for Ben Roethlisberger, but he remains the starter in Pittsburgh for 2021. Even without JuJu Smith-Schuster if he decides to sign elsewhere, the 39-year old QB does have plenty of surrounding offensive weapons and should be considered a QB2 heading into this season.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.

The Saints have officially released TE Jared Cook and TE Josh Hill. The Cook move is procedural, as he was scheduled to be a free agent at the start of the new league year.

Fantasy Impact:

Jared Cook will be 34 at the start of the 2021 season and may have some trouble finding a starting gig, but does still have some playmaking abilities. Josh Hill could find work in the blocking department for a team this season, after spending all his eight-year career with the Saints. For now, Adam Trautman assumes the starting role in New Orleans at TE.
