  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Solid showing in OT win

    Shepard brought in four of seven targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout tied Cade Otton for the second-most targets on the Bucs while also checking in as the runner-up to Mike Evans in receiving yards. Shepard has carved out a decent complementary niche in the Buccaneers' air attack, recording at least three catches and five targets in four of the last five games while eclipsing 40 receiving yards twice in that span. Shepard should continue drawing his fair share of one-time college teammate Baker Mayfield's attention in a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Does little with five catches

    Shepard brought in five of seven targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Shepard finished tied for second in receptions with Mike Evans and actually led the Buccaneers in targets, but he averaged a minuscule 3.2 yards per catch. The veteran wideout figures to continue serving as a complementary presence now that Evans and Jalen McMillan are both healthy, but Shepard will likely struggle to achieve fantasy relevance down the stretch due to what projects to be mostly a short-area role.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Just two touches in loss

    Shepard brought in one of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Shepard was in on 44 snaps (72 percent) and couldn't do much with them, despite Mike Evans (hamstring) remaining out and Jalen McMillan active but not playing any snaps, potentially due to his own hamstring issue. The veteran appears unable to serve as anything more than a tertiary option at this later stage of his career, as Shepard has just a 16-166-1 receiving line and 7-55-0 rushing tally over eight games.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Good to go

    Shepard (hamstring/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Shepard practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but he apparently showed enough to avoid an injury designation and is now set to work as Tampa's main slot receiver for another week. Fellow Bucs WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also returned to practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: No practice Thursday

    Shepard (hamstring/hip) didn't practice Thursday.

    With Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sitting at least one more game and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Shepard not practicing yet this week, the Buccaneers' receiving corps is particularly compromised at the moment. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Shepard has a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Dealing with pair of injuries

    Shepard was held out of Wednesday's practice due to hamstring and hip injuries.

    The Buccaneers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for at least one more game and both Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) logging absences to begin Week 10 prep. Shepard has drawn five targets in both of Tampa Bay's last two games, accruing a 7-66-0 receiving line between those contests.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Six touches in OT loss

    Shepard brought in four of five targets for 48 yards and rushed twice for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

    The veteran wideout was thrust into a key role with Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) all out, and Shepard finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the Buccaneers. Shepard's catch total also was a season high, while his yardage tally was his second highest of the campaign. With a short week before Sunday's Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers, Shepard will be ticketed for another expanded role even if McMillan suits up, considering Evans will sit out through the Week 11 bye.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Active in Week 9

    Shepard (hamstring) is listed as active Monday in Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Shepard was contained to one limited practice (Saturday) during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring issue, but it won't stop him from being available to an otherwise banged-up receiving corps. Tampa Bay will be without all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) in Week 9, meaning Shepard should be targeted early and often by QB Baker Mayfield, assuming he isn't inhibited himself. Along with Shepard, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will be the active options at the position Monday.
