Sterling Shepard Thread
Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Lets be real here, Saquon is the #1 WR on this team and he'll see 100+ targets this season for the Giants. #2 on the team will be Evan Engram, Shepard will be the 3rd best pass catching option on the team which wont amount to anything better than WR20 this season.
Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Engram might be the #1 target. Barkley could be #1 or #2. Tate isn't a lame duck.
Shepard is a good buy low perhaps, but with a bad offense and poor QB play, I wouldn't put too much stock in this player. I own him as depth in one league, and that's it.

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
A very good NFL receiver, but not someone I want as more than my WR5 in fantasy.

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Had a guy offer me the 1.09 and 2.14 in this years draft for him. Im not big on the rest of the players in this draft but I still feel like thats good value on Sheppard. I want to pull the trigger but Im starting to get a little low on WR's because I just made a trade for Hopkins. We start 3 WR and I have....
Ju-Ju
Nuk
A Rob
Boyd
Shep
Parker
TQ Smith
Parker is doing his "great in camp but Im gonna suck" thing and TQ had a couple good games but hes not who I want as a bye week filler. What do you guys think?

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
I would be selling Shep for any 1st.
Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Over the last 2 years he's put up 58-746-3 in 11 games where OBJ did not play.
That projects to 84-1085-4 over 16 games, which seems like pretty good value where he's currently being drafted.

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Reconsidering this after watching a bit of his tape. Shepard is better than I've ever given him credit for, and I've always been higher on him than consensus.

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Is “meh” a suitable reply? He’s always struck me as a JAG, but I don’t mean that degradingly. He looks like he belongs in the NFL, he’s OK. But he’s not a WR1 and is going to be miscast in that role. Maybe he puts up decent numbers this year out of necessity. But I wouldn’t bank on that for the future, and if you can sell for a 1st like mentioned above, I’d be out quickly.

Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
A solid bye week filler on a start 3 WR lineup
Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Solid answer imho.
Please speak to clarion contrarion before considering the use of vetos..
Re: Sterling Shepard, what are yout thoughts
Just read through the thread... I'm a huge giants fan, watch every game. I also own Shepard on a team. I agree with the comment above - Shepard is an very, very good NFL receiver and player. He's not really ever going to be a very good fantasy asset because he's tied to a team that's heavily invested in running the ball that also has a very good receiving tight end and receiving RB, as well as a questionable (at best) QB situation. (Eli is done and Jones, while I'm slightly optimistic after 2 good preseason games, is a complete unknown).
When the Giants extended him, I was very happy as a fan of the Giants, disappointed as a dynasty owner of Shepard. On the right team, this guys a PPR dynamo. On the Giants, he's an afterthought. Beast in the slot but not limited to there. Can play outside. I think he does ok vs. press but haven't looked too closely honestly, that's pure recollection. But I do really believe that if he were on a high volume passing team that stayed in WR3 sets a lot (Rams, Steelers, Packers, probably the Bucs under Arian) and he was in the slot and worked around in different positions, he'd be a hundred catch guy.
