Sterling Shepard Back As Primary Slot Receiver
5 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard figures to assume his natural role as a slot receiver with Golden Tate (concussion) set to miss Sunday's contest. In his first game back from a concussion of his own, Shepard immediately resumed his role as the most-targeted Giants wide receiver, a role which he figures to maintain this weekend. With the Giants likely to be trailing for much of this game, Shepard should be busy over the middle of the field. It wouldn't be surprising to see him rack up double-digit targets, which makes him a rock-solid WR3 in PPR formats and a solid play in DFS lineups.
