Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Hunter Renfrow

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) is ready to go for this weekend despite missing practice on Wednesday. Shepard returned to a full practice on Thursday and will be ready for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Shepard hasn't really done much on the field this season. He posted an 80-yard performance in Week 3, but has been quiet outside of that. The 32-year-old was held to two receptions for 14 yards last week. The assumption is that Shepard would be more involved with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Bucky Irving (foot) both sidelined. However, Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin both saw double digit targets last week. Possibly, Shepard sees more action this weekend, but shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a desperation option.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has been off to a slow start to begin the season. Renfrow had a breakout performance in Week 2 with seven receptions for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Outside of that, Renfrow has been held to two receptions and 11 yards or less in every game. The return of Xavier Legette this week isn't going to do him any favors. Sooner rather than later, the Panthers are going to lean on their younger players and push Renfrow further out of the rotation. Last week, Renfrow played less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. He's worth holding in deep leagues, but Renfrow shouldn't be trusted in Week 5.
