Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Gage Larvadain

Sunday, December 28, 11:51 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Shepard has now been inactive for back-to-back weeks and is the odd man out in a receiver room that also features Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Tez Johnson, and Kameron Johnson. Even if one of those receivers were to suffer an injury, Shepard would still be too far down the pecking order to make a fantasy impact next week. He can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Gage Larvadain carried the ball once for a four-yard touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Larvadain punched in a short touchdown in the third quarter to give the Browns a 21-7 lead. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina also handled two punt returns, but he ultimately was forced from the game early with what is being called a lower-body injury. Larvadain will hope to be ready to return to the field in time for the Browns' next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
