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.

NYG WR Sterling Shepard - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Sterling Shepard had a great game against the Ravens last week, as the lone bright spot for the Giants offense, catching nine of 12 balls thrown his way for 77 yards and a touchdown. Shepard has struggled along with the rest of the team this season, but he’s quietly averaged 5.3 receptions per game, giving him a decent floor in deep PPR formats.

This week, Shepard has a nice matchup against a Cowboys defense that ranks dead last in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Shepard is risky because the whole Giants offense has struggled for much of the year, but assuming the Giants will need to throw the ball, the conditions are there for Shepard to at least put up WR3 numbers, especially in PPR formats.
