BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard got injured 15 snaps into his Week 2 game, and we have had to wait more than a month to see him on a football field again. He did so facing the Eagles in Week 6... and exploiting their defense with gusto.
When playing full time, Shepard has two 6-reception performances so far this season in Week 1 and Week 7. He caught all six targets to kick the season off, and he finished 6-of-8 against Philly this last TNF. Not only that, but he reached 59 yards for a neat 9.8 Y/R average, and kept New York alive with a score in the fourth quarter.
In both matches, Shepard went on to finish with more than 10 PPR points (10.7 and 17.9), and it is not too crazy to think about Shepard being a 15-point scorer ROS. He won't probably be catching 85% of his passes on a weekly basis, much less playing for QB Daniel Jones, but he's a must-add in any 12+ team league and deeper ones if you can still find him available for free. He and Darius Slayton will be fighting to be the WR1 in the Giants offense, and New York still has three weeks ahead before hitting its bye week.
