BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: The Bucs are in a bad way for receivers at this point with both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin down with injuries. The veteran Shephard is all of a sudden the most experienced receiver in the room and could end up leading this unit in targets on Sunday against the Falcons.

There's no real way of telling which receiver gets the most snaps in the slot, but that's the best position for production against the Atlanta defense. Shephard has experience lining up anywhere in the formation and is the best bet to lead the wide receiver room in targets this week along with tight end Cade Otton.
He's best deployed in PPR formats, but if you need a WR or Flex play this week, Shepard looks like the best option of the remaining Tampa receivers in terms of being a safer, more reliable play.
