Sterling Shepard Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (quad) is out for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Out since Week 5, Golladay would be a risky fantasy play if he ends up active. WR John Ross (quad) is also listed as questionable, while WR Dante Pettis (shoulder) was placed on IR on Friday. Kadarius Toney and Darius Slayton are New York's top 2 healthy WRs.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard is expected to miss "some time" with a quad strain suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for Shepard's return, but we should at least expect him to miss Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. The Giants then get a Week 10 bye.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard left in the 1st half of Monday night's game against the Chiefs with a quad injury. The team ruled him out for the rest of the night by the start of the 2nd half. That doesn't bode well for the Week 9 chances for a player who just returned from a hamstring injury. We'll see about the severity of Shepard's quad issue this week.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are active for tonight's game vs. the Chiefs. Shepard missed Weeks 4, 5 and 7 with hamstring trouble but got in 3 limited practices this week. Toney put in 2 limited practices after hurting his ankle in Week 5, aggravating it early in Week 6 and then missing Week 7. Both guys carry some risk of re-injury tonight. But there's also plenty of upside in the plus matchup.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan reports that Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are expected to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. Shepard got in 3 limited practices this week, while Toney got in 2. Both guys are risk/reward fantasy plays coming off injuries.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. It sounds like the team expects him to play, though. ESPN's Jordan Ranaan tweeted Saturday: "Sterling Shepard is good. He's going to play barring a last minute setback." Plan to have Shepard available for fantasy usage this week.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) got in his 2nd straight limited practice on Friday. He's seemingly on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That seemingly puts him on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll get another update on Shepard tomorrow.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring), WR Kenny Golladay (knee) and WR Kadarius Toney (ankle) were working with trainers off to the side of Wednesday's practice, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. The Giants play the Chiefs on Monday night, so we'll get the team's first official practice report tomorrow. "Will say this after speaking with sources the past few days about the Giants playmakers: They're in a race against time. It is going to be close on a bunch of them. Probably one or two make it," Raanan tweeted.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are active. They figure to join Dante Pettis as New York’s top 3 WRs. Slayton has some WR3 appeal as the likely target leader.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Giants WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are expected to play against the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups. WR Sterling Shepard, meanwhile, is a game-time decision with his hamstring injury. We'll get his status around 11:30 am ET, but Shepard will obviously come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he ends up active.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and John Ross are questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with their hamstring injuries. Slayton seems to be in the best shape after putting in 3 limited practices this week. Ross was limited on Thursday and Friday. Shepard was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited on Friday. He looks like the shakiest bet to play on Sunday. The Giants' healthy WRs right now are Dante Pettis and Collin Johnson. We'll get the team's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard was added to Thursday's injury report as limited with a hamstring. We don't have any details right now, but mid-week downgrades are never good. WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) remained limited on Thursday, while WR John Ross (hamstring) returned to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday. We'll update the Giants' banged-up WR corps again tomorrow.

Giants WRs Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. The New York Daily News' Pat Leonard confirms that both are expected to miss this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. WR Sterling Shepard should soak up a bunch of targets in that one.
