Sterling Shepard Not Recommended For Week 12

Friday, November 22, 5:04 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard was quiet during the Week 10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wideout hauled in one of his three targets for seven yards. Shepard has seen increased snaps lately with the Bucs shorthanded at wideout. However, Shepard could see his role in the offense decrease with Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return against the New York Giants this weekend. Shepard hasn't offered much value all season and it's unlikely to go up now. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 12.

Rashod Bateman News

Rashod Bateman Cleared For Week 12

Saturday, November 23, 6:26 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Bateman popped up on the injury report on Friday due to a knee issue. However, Bateman was removed on Saturday after getting in a full practice session. The 24-year-old was quiet last week with only two receptions for 30 yards in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bateman has seen five or more targets in three of his last four games. He should have some flex appeal for this Monday Night contest.
