Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring/hip) was not a participant in practice on Wednesday as he seemingly deals with multiple injuries.
Fantasy Impact
Shepard led all Buccaneers receivers in catches (four) and yards (48) in Week 9's Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, he appears to be dealing with a pair of injuries, a situation to monitor on a team already down Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He will continue to have a significant role (60% snap share or more over the last two weeks) if he is healthy enough to suit up in Week 10.
Sterling Shepard caught four passes for 48 yards and rushed the ball two times for 21 yards in Monday's 30-24 OT loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
Shepard had to step up and play a bigger role with Tampa Bay missing several other wide receivers on Monday night. He ended up having a solid performance, totaling 69 yards on just six touches. He doesn't have much fantasy value but is an important asset for the Buccaneers in real life right now.
Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9.
Fantasy Impact
Shepard was able to practice Saturday in a limited fashion. With Mike Evans ruled out, Shepard could see a large target share if he is able to suit up Monday.
