Sterling Shepard

When Shepard is healthy, he's absolutely a viable low-end WR3 every single week that soaks up targets. However, Shepard has had a major issue staying on the field his entire career. He's only played in 5 games so far in 2021 and fantasy managers have had to move on to more readily available options across the fantasy football landscape. With that being said, there is some optimism that Shepard could return to the starting lineup in Week 13 against the Dolphins. He's been battling a quad injury recently, but it sounds like he could be close to returning here. In his first game back, with Glennon as his QB, it's probably best to leave Shepard on your bench. However, he is worth picking up and stashing for the playoff push because of his target share when he is active. For Week 13, we can view Shepard as a low-end FLEX if he suits up.

Sterling Shepard (quad) officially inactive for Week 13

Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quad) is officially inactive for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. He had been listed as doubtful.

Fantasy Impact

The Giants continue to limp throughout the final stretch of the season as Shepard, Kadarius Toney (oblique, quad), and Daniel Jones (neck) are all inactive for Sunday’s game. It’s hard to completely trust anyone on this team in fantasy football, but Saquon Barkley remains in the RB2 conversation while Kenny Golladay is a low-end WR3.
