Sterling Shepard Posts Seven Receptions In Win
6 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was good for seven receptions and 78 yards on his seven targets in Friday's preseason victory against the New York Jets. Shepard was working as the No. 1 overall receiver with Odell Beckham Jr. still on the shelf. The receiver was more than capable of handling the workload, and he really jelled nicely with quarterback Eli Manning in the first half. Shepard is a legit WR3 or flex fantasy play in PPR formats, and he could be even more valuable if and when Beckham misses time in the regular season. TE Evan Engram also left Friday's game with a concussion, so if he is not ready for Week 1 then Shepard could see more early-season targets.
