Sterling Shepard

The veteran wideout got a light workload in practice this week but was a full-go for the final session. With Cade Otton on the right side of questionable and Jalen McMillan dominating as the team's No. 2 receiver, Shepard isn't on the fantasy radar this weekend, even with a limited number of games to choose from.

Shepard has been limited in both practices this week. The veteran receiver has seen an increased role with Chris Godwin out for the season but caught only seven passes for the Buccaneers over the final month of the season. Even if active, Shepard will be hard to trust as a fantasy/DFS play with Jalen McMillan's recent emergence and Cade Otton (knee) likely on the mend.

Shepard dealt with foot and hamstring injuries in December and has apparently swapped out the latter issue for a knee injury. The team's No. 3 WR is effectively a touchdown-dependent fantasy option at this point though his early-week participation at least bodes positively for his availability.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is active for today s game vs. the Saints. He should slide back in as Tampa Bay s primary slot receiver but is a low-end fantasy play.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday s game vs. the Saints. We ll see if he can make it back for this one after missing Week 17, but Shepard would be a desperation fantasy play.
