Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Christian Watson

Wednesday, November 19, 9:14 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Shepard will join fellow wideouts Chris Godwin (leg) and Emeka Egbuka (illness) on the injury report to begin the week. Shepard appears to be dealing with a minor shoulder injury, but it shouldn't stop him from suiting up in Week 12. His fantasy value is likely dependent on whether or not Godwin is able to return this weekend. Last week, Shepard hauled in four of his five targets for 54 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran wideout would take a backseat in the passing game if Godwin and Egbuka are both healthy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught all four of his targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Even with Jayden Reed returning to the lineup, Watson continued to operate as the Packers' top receiver. He now has five touchdowns over the last four weeks, and he has at least four catches in each of those four games. The 26-year-old continues to perform quite well in this crowded receiver room, largely thanks to Jordan Love's strong passing season. He has quietly ranked as the eighth-highest-scoring receiver in half-PPR leagues since making his season debut in Week 8. Watson ranks as a strong WR2 option heading into Week 15 against the Denver Broncos.
