Shepard received no fewer than six targets in any game last season, finishing the year with an impressive average of 8.3 targets per game. Unfortunately, he did not do a whole lot with that volume, with only 575 receding yards and three touchdowns. His 10.1 yard per reception was the worst of his four-year NFL career, and he managed to play in just 10 of the team's 16 games.
On a positive note, 11 of those 83 targets did come in the red zone, giving him the second-most on the team behind Evan Engram. Two of his three receiving touchdowns came in the red zone.
Shepard is slated to be the starting outside wide receiver in what could be a high scoring offense. The Giants bolstered their offensive line, but they once again project to be a defense ranked in the bottom half.
Should he stay healthy and play a full 16-game slate, both Shepard and Tate look to be locks as low-cost receivers who will receive at least 100 targets. The problem, though, is neither one is a massive threat to score double-digit touchdowns, which limits their value significantly in non-ppr formats.
