Shep Value

[Furlo610]

Sterling Shepard compared to the rest of the WR group in this draft where would you put him

[flyersfan1981]

Somewhere around WR5/6 at best...gladly take Davis, Williams, Juju, Ross, and possibly Godwin or Zay ahead of him if they go to a nice spot.

Personally I am not buying at all, but if I were I wouldn't pay more than a mid-2nd. Some will call me a hater, I prefer to call myself a realist on Shep's future upside.

This is what i'm thinking as well, I love shep but I would have him #3 in this draft, his biggest upside is a PPR slot machine and the only thing that kept him higher last year was his TD rating and I think 8 is his ceiling. Hes a great #5 WR on my team but i'm looking at moving up in this draft to get better value at Davis or Williams

I'm with this. Those are all guys that I'd rather take my chances with over Shepard. I said it a few days ago, I think his ceiling and floor are very close and don't see him as more than a WR3. That's not a bad thing, but I'd rather shoot for guys with higher upside, even if I'm burned by it later.

Exactly! I have no interest in a true WR3 being more than a WR5 on my squad. If Shep is your WR3, then I think you are in trouble to win a title. If he is your WR5/6, then why bother owning him if you can get a guy with WR2 upside instead via trade? Or use him to upgrade at a different position?
