New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with a hip injury.
Fantasy Impact
After starting his career with five straight seasons of 55+ catches, Shepard has dealt with injuries in recent years. In 2023, he's seen his playing time decrease and has just six games with a catch and zero with more than one. Even when healthy, he is no longer a relevant player in fantasy formats.
Sterling Shepard caught 1-of-2 targets for 13 yards in the Giants' 31-16 loss to the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Shepard tallied his third catch in four games played in the loss Sunday. The 30-year-old is in a depth role for a struggling Giants' offense. Shepard should be left on the waiver wire.
Despite the New York Giants' thrilling 31-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Sterling Shepard's performance was less than stellar.
Fantasy Impact
The 30-year-old wide receiver managed a meager four yards from a single reception, failing to find the end zone. Shepard's lackluster showing was a far cry from the explosive performances fantasy managers crave, leaving him languishing at WR102 for the week and WR108 for the season. His season stats are equally uninspiring, with just two targets, one reception, and four receiving yards to his name, and no touchdowns. Looking ahead to Week 3, Shepard will need to step up his game against the San Francisco 49ers if he hopes to climb the fantasy rankings.
Sterling Shepard was unable to catch his lone target in the Giants' 40-0 loss to the New York Giants Sunday night.
Fantasy Impact
Shepard saw little involvement for a Giants passing attack that did not have much time to operate Sunday night, finishing tied for last on the team in targets. The veteran wideout will be difficult to trust until he can carve out a more sizeable target share moving forward beginning with a Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.
