Sterling Shepard Fantasy

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard's multiple concussions in 2019 is a cause of major concern for the organization. The 27-year-old was relegated to just 10 games last season after sustaining two head injuries throughout the year, which ultimately caused the former Sooner to log the worst campaign of his career. Shepard finished last season with 57 catches for 576 yards and three scores, a significant drop from the previous year, and a massive decline from his rookie output. The wideout has dealt with concussions dating back to his high school playing days, with one more potentially signifying the end to his playing career.

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.
