Who Should I Start? Sterling Shepard or Michael Gallup

Friday, September 8, 9:23 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has ended each of the last two seasons on injured reserve. Due to his pension for finding himself on the shelf, the Giants brought in a slew of receiving options. Now, the veteran finds himself deeper on the depth chart. The ex-Oklahoma Sooner averaged eight targets per game in his three appearances in 2022. A majority of those targets in Week 1 will now be divided between starters Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, and tight end Darren Waller. Shepard is not on fantasy football radars until he proves to be a consistent option in 2023.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup suddenly showed up in a Week 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Gallup came into the game with a total of two catches for 13 yards through the first two weeks, but ended up leading the Cowboys in catches, targets, and yards in this game. He caught six passes on seven targets, gaining 92 yards including a long gain of 27. While this was likely more of a flash in the pan than a sign of things to come, it certainly means Gallup will be a popular waiver wire target this week. Don't fall too hard for it, this passing game will always go through CeeDee Lamb.
