Who Should I Start? Cole Beasley or Sterling Shepard

Monday, September 4, 6:51 PM

The New York Giants placed wide receiver Cole Beasley (quadriceps) on their practice-squad Injured Reserve on Monday and signed receiver Cam Sims to the practice squad in a corresponding move. It means that Beasley won't be eligible to play in the team's first four games of the regular season. Beasley was left off the 53-man roster heading into the start of the 2023 regular season, and he's unlikely to have much of a role in New York's crowded receiver corps if he ever joins the active roster. To open the year, Parris Campbell will serve as the team's starting slot receiver, but the G-Men also have second-year wideout Wan'Dale Robinson.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has ended each of the last two seasons on injured reserve. Due to his pension for finding himself on the shelf, the Giants brought in a slew of receiving options. Now, the veteran finds himself deeper on the depth chart. The ex-Oklahoma Sooner averaged eight targets per game in his three appearances in 2022. A majority of those targets in Week 1 will now be divided between starters Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, and tight end Darren Waller. Shepard is not on fantasy football radars until he proves to be a consistent option in 2023.
