Sterling Shepard 'torched every Giants corner this summer'

Aug 28, 2020

Sterling Shepard has torched every Giants corner in camp according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. "The only lingering concern is if he’ll be able to avoid another concussion when the season starts," wrote Duggan.

Duggan started the WR breakdown of his Friday article by saying the depth chart remains intact. He added that Golden Tate has the ability to play longer than most wide receivers and Darius Slayton is not expected to have a sophomore slump despite a quiet camp.

Related Players: Golden Tate, Darius Slayton

Fantasy Impact:

There has been a groundswell of praise for Shepard during camp. His health, as well as Tate's, are key to second year QB Daniel Jones' growth. Slayton was his favorite target as a whole in 2019, but his targets dropped when one or both of Shepard and Tate were healthy. The trio should be targets at their lower ADPs. Do not expect them to stay low for very long as draft season continues to press on.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
