Sterling Shepard Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire?

Tuesday, October 28, 4:32 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard has seen an increase in playing time as a result of injuries to Chris Godwin (leg) and Mike Evans (collarbone). Shepherd had his quietest game of the season in the Bucs' blowout 23-3 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, catching just one of two targets for eight yards. The veteran wideout had caught multiple balls in every other game up until last week and saw a season high of seven targets in Week 7 against the Lions. Still, the upside isn't very high for the 32-year-old even in a good Tampa Bay offense, as he has provided little value after the catch. Rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson have emerged as the go-to targets at wide receiver for Baker Mayfield, with tight end Cade Otton filling a complementary role. Fantasy managers who are in desperate need of a flex who will run a lot of routes can look to Shepherd as a possible option.

Jamal Agnew Feels Good Despite Exiting Early

Monday, September 8, 8:58 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (groin) said that he feels good despite exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran receiver is one of three Atlanta receivers dealing with injuries, along with Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was inactive Sunday, and Drake London (shoulder), who exited after dropping a target in the fourth quarter. Agnew was not targeted in the passing game, but he did get involved on special teams with two kick returns and two punt returns. He's off the fantasy radar for Week 2 regardless of his injury status.
