Sterling Shepard Not Recommended For Week 12

Friday, November 22, 5:04 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard was quiet during the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Shepard has seen increased snaps lately with the Bucs shorthanded at wideout. However, Shepard could see his role in the offense decrease with Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return against the New York Giants this weekend. Shepard hasn't offered much value all season and it's unlikely to go up now. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 12.

Teven Jenkins, DeAndre Carter Both Suiting Up Against Panthers

Sunday, October 6, 12:00 PM

Chicago Bears left guard Teven Jenkins (ribs) and wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ribs) are active for Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Jenkins has been an offensive staple for the Bears this season, playing every offensive snap through the first three weeks before an injury took him out of the game early in Week 4. Meanwhile, Carter has been productive this season, too. In addition to catching seven passes for 60 yards, he also has five kick returns (34 yards per return) and nine punt returns (9.4 yards per return). However, he's off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
