Draft note

by John Paulsen

Shepard only appeared in 10 games last season and had the No. 31 per game average (half-PPR). He averaged 57.6 yards per game in 2019 and 54.5 yards per game in 2018 and that’s a reasonable expectation for 2020, though his targets might get pinched if all the Giants’ pass-catchers are able to stay healthy.

Rapoport: Giants WR Sterling Shepard dealing with turf toe

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Giants WR Sterling Shepard, knocked out yesterday with a toe injury, is believed to be dealing with turf toe, source said.

Related players: Darius Slayton, Golden Tate

Fantasy Impact:

He’ll have an MRI today, but that’s an ailment that generally causes a WR to miss some time, Rapoport went on to say. Looks like Slayton and Tate could be the Giants top two wideouts. The Giants are also dealing with the loss of RB Saquon Barkley.

NYG WR Sterling Shepard - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Chicago Bears

Sterling Shepard caught all six balls thrown his way against the Steelers on Monday night, but gained just 47 yards and took a backseat to Darius Slayton, who was targeted nine times and scored a pair of touchdowns. Shepard should still be considered a reasonable option in good matchups, particularly if Golden Tate continues to miss time, but it’s going to be hard to trust him on a week-to-week basis until we see more of this offense under new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.

The Bears allowed a combined seven catches and 98 yards to the outside receivers for the Lions last week, so Shepard may struggle to produce more than he did against a tough Steelers defense in Week 1. Shepard should be considered no better than a low-end WR3 option in PPR formats at best this week.
