Sterling Shepard Fantasy

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard led the team in targets, but he was only able to haul in three of his 11 passes for 39 yards. It was a disappointing output against an Eagles' depleted secondary, but Shepard has remained the Giants top target during all of his healthy games this season. The Giants will have lots of options in the passing game next year, so Shepard may not be consistent, but he appears to have the trust of quarterbackDaniel Jones and is emerging as the team's WR1.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard gets a good matchup on Sunday against an Eagles Defense that ranks 28th in the league in points allowed to wide receivers over the last six weeks. Shepard has seen a minimum of six targets in each of his last five games, which is a safe floor in a game that could shootout with so much on the line for the Eagles, who are trying to clinch a playoff spot. Before keeping the Cowboys receivers out of the end zone last week, the Eagles had allowed two receiving touchdowns in the previous three games and scores in the previous five. The Giants have a crowded receiving room, which makes Shepard a bit of a risk, but his target floor keeps him as a WR3 option.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard found his way to the end zone again on Sunday, finishing with six catches for 76 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. He's missed a few games with concussions, but Shepard has been a productive number one wide receiver for the Giants, dispelling any notion that he can't play outside the slot. Expect another solid effort from him next week against the Eagles.
