Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Jimmy Horn Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard has reached a new contract with the organization. The veteran wideout will stick around in Tampa Bay for at least one more season, but his salary is undisclosed. Shepard hauled in 32 receptions for 334 yards and one touchdown in 14 games (five starts) with the Bucs. The 32-year-old did a nice job filling in when the Bucs were without Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for a few games. Shepard figures to serve as depth behind Godwin, Evans, and Jalen McMillian in the Tampa Bay offense. That being said, Shepard probably won't be on the fantasy radar to begin the season.

Despite making the Carolina Panthers' initial 53-man roster earlier this week, rookie wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. was initially a long shot to see early playing time. That changed quickly after Carolina traded veteran Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings for draft capital and placed promising second-year pro Jalen Coker (quad) on Injured Reserve. With Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and David Moore listed ahead of him on the depth chart, Horn will battle Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne for snaps. The undrafted Colorado product has been a summer standout, and his speed could earn him immediate opportunities in the Panthers' aerial attack led by quarterback Bryce Young. He's a worthwhile dynasty stash and a name to monitor in deeper redraft formats.
