BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard had been able to sustain a fantasy-WR3 profile for the first two-thirds of the season spanning from W1 to W12, but in the three games after that he just couldn't get anything right. The games against Seattle, Arizona, and Cleveland in Weeks 13 through 15 saw Shepard put up mild 5.2, 6.5, and 8.8 PPR-point performances and play way below his previously-reached levels.
Shepard averaged 12.2 points through W12, and 13.0 in the W3-W12 span. His below-10 points streak was rather bad to experience as a Shepard fantasy GM but good for all of us he went back to his best traits this past weekend facing the Ravens. Shepard had his best game of the season to date scoring 22.7 PPR points translated from a massive 12-target, 9-reception, 77-yard, one TD performance. No joke, considering all those four stats were season-high marks for Shepard.
If this is the Shepard we get in W17 we might be putting a fresh fantasy championship and trophy in our cabinets, folks. And I don't want to get overexcited about the possibilities, but the matchup against Dallas to close the year well calls for it.
Dallas ranks 28th (or fifth-worst) against fantasy WRs. Shepard missed W5 and thus has not played against the Cowboys this season, but no. 1 Giants receiver in that game (Darius Slayton) racked up 8 receptions and 129 yards in that match. Shepard took over WR1 duties on Sunday while Slayton got targeted just twice. If this happens again next Sunday we could be adding a league-winning player to our squads for free through the WW.
