Summary
Shepard has been a productive contributor in three seasons but has yet to emerge as a game-breaker. With Odell Beckham gone, Shepard will have the best opportunity of his career to emerge as a No. 1 receiver, although he'll have to share the limelight with free agent Golden Tate. Giants ownership rewarded Shepard with a 4-year, $40 million extension this offseason which is a testament to their confidence in his continued improvement. He'll need to improve across the board to make up for his departed teammate as he ranks outside the top-40 in yards-after-the-catch and catch rate through three seasons. (May 1)FBG Staff Rankings

(Sat Jun 8, 10:14 PM) - New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard averaged 7.7 targets in four games without Cleveland Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. last year compared to 6.1 targets in 12 games with Beckham, and Jordan Raanan of ESPNNewYork.com believes Shepard will the the No. 1 option in the passing attack ahead of WR Golden Tate in 2019. Our View: It's hard to say who will be the most reliable fantasy option out of Shepard, Tate, and Evan Engram, and could change from game to game. We'll be monitoring the development of Daniel Jones closely, because the #6 pick could be taking over the quarterback job from Eli Manning this year, and maybe sooner than later.link to story Giants | Sterling Shepard misses practice (Wed Jun 5, 06:41 PM) - New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (wrist) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 5, because of a wrist injury, but head coach Pat Shurmur said Shepard will be fine.
