Russell Shepard benefits from more playing time

With Vincent Jackson (knee) going to IR, everyone said Adam Humphries and Cameron Brate would benefit most. Instead it was Russell Shepard. Shepard saw 27 snaps on Sunday and turned that into five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact:

Cecil Shorts got the start opposite Mike Evans and didn't make the stat sheet. Shepard saw 27 snaps to Shorts' 31 snaps. It will be interesting to see if the production by Shepard gives him more opportunities going forward. He is worth a look in deeper leagues.
