Sterling Shepard A Strong WR3 Vs. Atlanta
3 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been highly efficient in 2021 and leads the team in targets (19), receptions (16), and receiving yards (207). The 28-year-old averages 9.4 air yards per target and owns 28% of the team's target share, 11th among all wide receivers. Giants QB Daniel Jones continues to look his way and has built a strong rapport with Shepard this season, and fantasy managers can expect that trend to carry onto Week 3. The Falcons defense has allowed a league-high 80 points and 775 yards of total offense to opposing teams in 2021. Shepard is an excellent WR3 against a very beatable Falcons secondary in a projected shootout (48.5 over/under) in Week 3.
