2024 RTSports Outlook
Shepard served a deep reserve role for the Giants last year, catching 10 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in 15 games. He did not have double-digit fantasy points in any game. Shepard has 23 catches his last two seasons. He has endured injury issues in recent seasons and looks to be struggling to get back to his old self. He is likely to play a reserve role once again this year. Shepard can turn a short pass into a big play. He isn't the biggest receiver but is a good athlete. Shepard can really jump and has the speed to make big plays.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Shepard is trending the wrong way. The only way he has fantasy value is if he starts getting consistent work once again. Until that happens, don't bother.

Dynasty | The Tampa Bay Bucs have signed wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Dynasty Analysis: It's a feel-good story for Shepard but hardly a needle mover in dynasty leagues. Shepard could prove serviceable down the line should he make the team but that's no guarantee. Injuries have really affected his play over the past few years and he's not nearly the player he once was. Dynasty managers should simply keep him on their watch lists at the moment as he isn't roster worthy, despite finding a new home.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms with veteran free-agent wide receiver Sterling Shepard on an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. After eight seasons with the New York Giants after he was drafted in the second round in 2016 out of Oklahoma, Shepard will reunite with former Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield. The 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher played in 15 games (two starts) in 2023, but he was on the field for a combined 10 games in 2021 and 2022 due to serious injuries, which have sapped his fantasy value heading into 2024. He caught 10 of his 22 targets in a limited role with New York last year for just 57 yards and a touchdown. With better health, Shepard could find himself with a bigger role, but he'll merely be competing for a depth role behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Trey Palmer.
