Sterling Shepard Undergoing Surgery Tuesday
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) is undergoing surgery to fix his torn left ACL on Tuesday, according to a source. The surgery comes almost a month after his injury in order to accelerate the recovery process afterward. Shepard tore his left ACL in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys and will miss the rest of the 2022 season. It's a tough break for the 29-year-old pass-catcher after he missed most of last year with a torn Achilles. Before his injury this year, the 29-year-old was having a solid start to the campaign with 13 catches on 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown. Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay continue to be sidelined by injuries as well, which has allowed Richie James and Darius Slayton to have bigger roles in the offense.
Oct 25, 2022 • 6:36 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Has A Torn ACL
Updating a previous report, New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) suffered a torn left ACL in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Shepard will now miss the rest of the season after playing in just seven games in 2021 due to various injuries, including a torn Achilles. It's a tough break for Shepard and the Giants, as he was their top pass-catcher through three games, catching 13 of his 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown. Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson were both inactive in Week 3. Rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger and receivers Richie James and David Sills combined for 10 receptions in the loss to Dallas. Toney has the most fantasy upside of any Giants receiver, but he hasn't been able to stay on the field early in his career.
Sep 27, 2022 • 4:17 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Likely Done For The Season
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) suffered a serious left knee injury in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple sources. A final diagnosis will come on Tuesday, but Shepard's season is likely over. It was a non-contact injury late in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 game, and his teammates and Cowboys players were consoling the 29-year-old pass-catcher as if his season were already over as he was being carted off the field. Shepard was limited to just seven games in 2021 due to multiple injuries, the big one being a torn Achilles. It will be a big loss for the team's receiving corps, as Shepard had been their most productive receiver through three weeks with 13 catches on 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown.
Sep 27, 2022 • 4:01 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Gets Carted Off On Final Play
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He was running a route on the final play of the game and his knee appeared to give out. It appears to be a left knee injury and it was severe enough that they needed to cart him off the field. Before exiting, Shepard had five receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards. The Giants will be forced to use a mix of Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, and Darius Slayton, assuming Shepard misses time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Shepard.
Sep 27, 2022 • 3:38 AM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Not On Final Injury Report
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) was left off the team's final injury report after being a limited participant in practice on Friday. Shepard will be active in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, but it is unknown just how many snaps he will play, especially with head coach Brian Daboll labeling Shepard a game-time call earlier on Friday. Shepard is not on the fantasy radar at the moment but could be worth a stash in deeper leagues as he has been productive when healthy in the past.
Sep 10, 2022 • 2:32 AM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard To Be A Game-Time Decision
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) will be a game-time decision on Sunday for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Shepard will probably do a pre-game workout before inactives are released so the Giants can make a final decision. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is less than nine months removed from a torn Achilles suffered last season, so even if he does play, fantasy managers would be wise to keep him out of their starting lineups in Week 1 in deeper leagues. For now, the Giants have healthy bodies ahead of him at the position in Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson. If Shepard is ruled out, Darius Slayton would be battling for playing time as the No. 4 wideout.
Sep 9, 2022 • 4:57 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Plans To Play In Week 1
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) plans to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old was activated off the PUP list in late August after tearing his Achilles in December. He finished with 36 receptions, 336 receiving yards, and one touchdown in seven games last season. When healthy, Shepard is usually the most consistent receiver on the Giants roster. However, it's unclear how he'll play coming off a serious injury. He could work his way into the WR3 conversation, assuming he doesn't lose a step from the Achilles tear.
Sep 6, 2022 • 10:50 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Activated From PUP List
The New York Giants activated wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday. Shepard has been recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered last year and is now ready to practice in training camp. The 29-year-old played in a career-low seven games in 2021 because of injuries and caught 36 of his 53 targets for 366 yards and only one touchdown. It's good news for the Giants to get another receiver back with the regular season quickly approaching, but rookie slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson may have already earned a starting role inside to begin the season next to Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney. As of right now, Shepard is more of a fourth wideout in New York, and he'll have to prove himself in order to get more opportunities.
Aug 24, 2022 • 4:21 PM | RotoBallerSterling Shepard Expected To Be Activated From PUP List
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) ramped up his work at training camp practice last week as he recovers from a torn Achilles, and it looks like he will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before the start of the regular season. If Shepard doesn't come off the PUP list before Week 1, he'd be forced to sit out the first four games. However, even if the 29-year-old is ready for the season opener, he might not have much of a role alongside Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson. After playing in only seven games in 2021 due to injuries, Shepard is going to have to prove to fantasy managers this year that he's worth a roster spot in deeper leagues.
