Sterling Shepard's Role In Question With Giants At Full Strength
5 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard heads into Week 5 with a few question marks. As the team's top wide receiver so far, Shepard has developed a strong rapport with quarterback Daniel Jones. However, he has also done most of his damage while operating out of the slot. That's the same position where recently-activated Golden Tate does his best work. If the Giants move Shepard outside this week, he'll be moving to a position where he's seen less success and will also be in the coverage of elite cornerback Xavier Rhodes. All of this makes Shepard a risky option in Week 5. The Giants will likely throw enough to make him usable as a WR3, but he doesn't come with the upside that he's had over the past two weeks and now may be the best time to sell high.
