WR Sterling Shepard, NYG (1 Viewer)

[hankey2mlh]

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Sterling Shepard (migraines) is unlikely to play Thursday evening against the Redskins.

Earlier Thursday, FOX's Jay Glazer reported there was a "slight possibility" Shepard suits up, but it has always appeared unlikely. It seems like we won't get final word until after pre-game warmups, but owners should plan on a Week 12 without their would-be WR2. Tavarres King, Roger Lewis and Travis Rudolph will serve as the Giants' "top three" receivers.

Have to decide between Shepard, JuJu (slight hamstring pull), or Crowder @ flex..........

Probably going Crowder.

Hope you did

 

[Rileyrott]

Yep!

 

[oddsbodkins]

What are we hearing? I desperately need this guy to start playing again.

Eli getting benched is a huge concern for his value going forward

 I was so eagerly awaiting his return this week too. The only thing I remember from Geno is that he's a turnover machine and that he blows. Does he lock onto a WR? Volume will be his only saving grace.

Geno sucks.  That's all you need to know. Check out what Hundley has done to Jordy's value.  It will be similar in concept.

 

[lod001]

Geno is 100% pure garbage. I sure hope they draft a good QB next season.

Shepard and Engram are now worthless.

But Adams has been awesome

 

[SameSongNDance]

The truth is no one knows what's going to happen. Some WRs can overcome poor QB play. Some tend to randomly have chemistry with replacement QBs. Look at Hopkins with Savage, Adams with Hundley, DT with Brock.

The problem is that it's week 13 and some people can't wait to find out or take the risk. 

 

[need2know]

Someone will prob have some good value Ros in the Giants wr corps.  You just don't know who

 

[cantstop1999]

I think you guys are giving Eli to much credit, he has sucked.

Crap I forgot I have Engram too ?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Eli has no time to throw and no real targets without Shepard. Geno will be worse

 

[Futz]

I think you guys are giving Eli to much credit, he has sucked.

....and I think you are sincerely underestimating Geno's ability to ruin every player on this offense. Eli would at least pepper his best players with targets.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Practiced today

Practiced today

Just dropped him for A Rodgers in both leagues. So your welcome everyone if he comes back explosive as ever for a playoff run.

I just couldn’t see myself starting him this week with question marks with Geno and the next few games.

 

[oddsbodkins]

"Back to normal"

Let's do this, 87!

 

[whiskey7]

Btwn the time he's missed with the migraines and the switch to Gen0, I cant get myself to start him despite what looks like a favorable conditions for (at min) high volume.

 

[GoBirds]

Looks like may have Eli back?

 

[lod001]

Guaranteed. Spagnuolo isn't going to come out at a home game vs the Cowboys with the fanbase up in arms and start anyone other than Eli.

How does that make us feel about starting Shepard 1st week of playoffs?

I'm not even thinking twice about it.

Well I started him with geno...

Point taken.

I'm in.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Undecided. Depends on Browns toe and how I feel about Baldwin @ Jax

 

[fantasycurse42]

Cowboys secondary so bad... Just to give you an idea of where I have him, I need two out of these 3 for PPR:

Shepard, Burkhead, Freeman

I'm honestly leaning towards benching Freeman - without Eli, I'd def roll with Devonta, but with Eli, against the Cowboys... Struggling with this one.

Freeman is the obvious bench. When was the last time he put up double digits?

 

[oddsbodkins]

DNP today with a new hamstring issue. God do I loathe this hobby.

Swell

[whiskey7]

Have an eery feeling whatever I decide to do with him this week is going to be wrong

 

[oddsbodkins]

Was limited today but Spagnolo is "hopeful" he plays Sunday.

Freeman is the obvious bench. When was the last time he put up double digits?

Excellent advice, Berry.

Sterling Shepard - WR -  Giants

NFL.com reports Sterling Shepard (hamstring, questionable) is not expected to play Week 14 against the Cowboys.

This is a surprise after he got in limited work on Thursday and Friday. If he does not suit up, it will be a big blow to Eli Manning's streaming candidacy. Evan Engram was a must-start to begin with, but this makes him even more appealing.

Please get this guy a feminine hygiene product he is killing me

Didn’t Engram have his worst games when Shepard was out a few weeks ago?

Me too. Now I have to start Baldwin at Jax

 

[Da Gildz]

Giants beat reporters saying he's good to go.  

Get him back in your lineups.

E Sanders or WW for me, OOF.

(13 mins ago) Though Shepard (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports that the wideout told him he was running at full speed this week and didn't experience any issues with his hamstring during Friday's practice.

Raanan thus expects Shepard, who has missed two games due to an ankle sprain and two games due to migraines this season, to suit up for Week 14. While Raanan's report offers encouragement about Shepard's status, it contradicts Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report, which suggests the wideout is unlikely to play. Fortunately for Sterling's fantasy owners, the Giants and Cowboys will play in the early wave of games Sunday, so clarity on his status should become available 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Sterling would represent the Giants' clear No. 1 wide receiver if he's available Sunday, though tight end Evan Engram could serve as the top overall target in the Giants' passing game.

I already got anally raped by Kamara - now I'm in an ugly situation... I've got Shepard, Kelvin Benjamin, or Jack Doyle.

FML - if Shepard is active, I'm playing him.

ESPN's Dan Graziano "gets the sense" that Sterling Shepard (questionable, hamstring) will be "good to go" for Week 14 against the Cowboys.

This conflicts with an NFL.com report that Shepard was likely to sit out. Ultimately, Shepard's status will be determined by how he looks during pregame warmups. Shepard will be a volume-based WR2 if he plays this week. Evan Engram is a must-start regardless, though his upside will be even higher if Shepard can't get the green light. Dec 10 - 10:08 AM

So you're saying there;s a chance.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Sounds like NFL.com got bum info and rushed it to press. If he's playing, he's playing for me. Way too explosive a player in a great matchup.

Sterling Shepard, questionable with a hamstring injury, is running routes full-speed in warm-ups. Looks like he'll play.

 

[Da Gildz]

Giants insider Jerry Foley on Sirius thinks Shepard will be used more as a decoy today.  Just an FYI for Shepard owners.  Who knows really.
