Sterling Shepard Has Flex Upside

Friday, October 24, 5:36 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard figures to continue seeing an increased workload this weekend. The Bucs are still without multiple wideouts, so Shepard should see more targets. Last week, Shepard saw a season-high seven targets in the loss to the Detroit Lions. He hauled in all seven of them for 25 yards, so the lack of yardage really hurt his value in low PPR formats. The fact he saw seven targets is a good sign heading into the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old should continue to see the ball coming his way, but he needs to do more after the catch. Fantasy managers in desperate need of help this weekend should look at Shepard as a possible flex option.

Tyreek Hill Considering Retirement?

Friday, October 24, 1:32 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said on Terron Armstead's podcast that he's undecided if he wants to continue his playing career after suffering a season-ending left-knee injury on Sept. 29 against the New York Jets. "At the end of the day, I feel like that decision is based upon how I feel and where my mindset is at the moment," Hill said. "I'm happy with the career that I've had. I love playing football. I love it, but it takes a lot. It takes a lot on you mentally, it takes a lot on you physically." The 31-year-old had back-to-back 1,700-yard receiving seasons in his first two years in Miami, including a league-leading 1,799 yards in 2023. However, the five-time All-Pro had a down year in 2024 with 81 catches for 959 yards, his lowest totals since 2019. The Cheetah's contract with the Dolphins runs through next season, but at this point, it's unclear if he even wants to play football again.
