BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Somehow Green Bay keeps winning games, is 4-0 on the season, and that is considering they have missed WR1 Davante Adams for two games in a row, WR2 Allen Lazard for W4, and operated with basically no other trustworthy weapons on offense other than RB Aaron Jones. With both Lazard and Adams out this past Monday, it was time for MVS (obviously) and whoever else to step up. Enter Darrius Shepherd.
I'm not here to pour compliments on Shepherd (he just scored 4.1 PPR points Monday), but rather to let you know about the chances he might have going forward. Behind Adams and MVS, it looks like the fight for the WR3 role will take place between Malik Taylor and Shepherd. They played virtually the same amount of snaps (45 to 36), but Shepherd was targeted three times to Taylor's one, catching 2-of-3 passes for 21 yards.
Green Bay will keep throwing the ball, and Aaron Rodgers has gone back in time to his 2015 exploits, so the upside is there with the snaps and opportunities going up (Adams will return, but Lazard is out indefinitely). Consider Shepherd only if you play in a super-deep league, and keep in mind Green Bay is on a bye this week so acquire Shepherd only if you can stash him.
Not the highest of ceilings/floors, but a "what-the-heck" FLEX play in positive matchups for deep-league fantasy GMs.
