Fantasy Football analysis: Giants WR Sterling Shepard

Shepard’s seen a heavy workload when he’s been on the field. In his last game, a Week 6 loss to the Rams, he caught 10 passes on 14 targets, both season highs, for 76 yards. He’s quarterback Daniel Jones’ preferred passing option when he’s in the lineup. The Chiefs pass defense presents a very favorable matchup this week.
