Sterling Shepard - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/Low-end Flex

ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard will be pushed up to the No.3 spot on the depth chart on Thursday evening and should be viewed as a low-end flex option this week in deeper leagues.

Rookie wideout Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and sophomore Trey Palmer (concussion) were both ruled on Wednesday which pushes Shepard up the depth chart and into a starting role.

Last week, the former Giant saw a season-high five targets and was able to bring in three of them for 51 yards. The 31-year-old ran 31 routes and was targeted on 16.1% of them.

 

Even though Sheppard will be on the field quite often on Thursday, he will still compete with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and tight end Cade Otton for targets and should only be relied upon in deeper 14+ team formats and is best left as a desperation play in DFS formats.
