The Draft War Room is the only live-sync draft tool that monitors 17 crucial in-draft indicators, including injury likelihood… and adapts to show you which players to pick throughout your draft.
Sterling Shepard Active
Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He should slide back in as Tampa Bay’s primary slot receiver but is a low-end fantasy play.
Sterling Shepard Questionable For Week 18
Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. We’ll see if he can make it back for this one after missing Week 17, but Shepard would be a desperation fantasy play.
Sterling Shepard Out For Week 17
Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring, foot) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He's been the team's primary slot receiver since WR Chris Godwin went down, averaging 4.6 targets per game over his last eight. Shepard's absence leaves a few extra targets for WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan and RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.
Cade Otton Out For Week 16
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.
Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.
Sterling Shepard Active
Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, adding risk to a guy who was a low-end PPR option to begin with.
