kdko Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 OBJ is on IR and will need surgery, and Brandon Marshall announced earlier on twitter that he's going to surgery as well. Once he returns from whatever his ankle ailment is (i assume it's not too serious), he's going to be the Giants #1 receiver. This has had value over the years. Strong WR2, with WR1 potential mid season onwards...? This team really has no other decent options, and Shephard has shown to have a good connection with Eli on games where he's constantly looking for him.

jamesplante11 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Even with OBJ and Marshall on the field Sterling Shepard was holding his own fantasy wise. It can only get better....right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Shane Vereen should see an uptick in targets too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inziladun Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Sterling is talented. I like him as player. Ankle injury has me pretty worried but if he stats healthy I'd peg him as a solid WR2 with a bit of upside. I do think he benefited from having OBJ drawing attention but the volume will be there for sure. He could be a garbage time goldmine. I traded Ellington for him because I desperately needed a bit of hope at my WR spot and was swimming in RB2s. So here's to hoping.

Trade him or cry like sterling. And you are basing this on what? In PPR leagues he has been a decent WR3 for WR needy teams. Without OBJ and Marshall, he now the defacto #1 WR. Why would you trade him? What are you basing a sudden tank after a good game? I'm gonna ride his butt to the playoffs.

Swifter02 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think he will be a fantasy #2 WR ROS. Giants will be down a ton, and who else will Manning have to throw to? Volume should skyrocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 He's talented and has shown potential. But without OBJ, he's going to draw the top secondary assignments. Without any other true offensive weapons, I don't know how much he'll be able to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inziladun Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think Sterling is talented enough to do some work on everyone but elite shut down corners... and how many are there in the league right now...? He'll definitely provide some value if/when he gets onto the field. I think the Giants being absolute garbage as a team can only help the situation not make it worse.

Please don't feed the trolls, I'm ready to put LordDopie and Tazzipooh on ignore as they're doing nothing but pissing in the wind making several threads unreadable.
