Russell Sheppard #2 now in Tampa Bay?
Posted by LSUJay13 on 10/25/16 at 9:06 am740
I didn't realize Russell Sheppard did so well this last week, but according to Fantasyguru.com, he has taken over the #2 WR position in Tampa Bay with Vincent Jackson on IR.
quote:
Russell Shepard (TB) – With Vincent Jackson landing on the IR with his knee injury, Shepard has taken over as the #2 WR on the outside across from Mike Evans. In his first game as a starter, Shepard finished with 5/77/1 receiving on 6 targets against the 49ers in Week 7, scoring on a red-zone target. Sheppard is hardly a reliable option going forward, considering that he had just 10 career catches before his career-best game in Week 7, but Jameis Winston certainly needs someone to throw it to outside of Evans.

Great for him
I didn't realize that either so thank you for posting.
Not sure if accurate but I think that would mean LSU had 3 WRs on the same team that are now starters (Beckham, Landry, Shepard) in the NFL plus another (James Wright) that is getting playing time and has caught a few passes this year.

I hope I can snag him on waivers! Allen Robinson is killing my team's mojo.

He'll throw a pass next game, guaranteed.

Still think we drastically underutilized this guy. Shoulda fed him the ball WAY more.
I could catch better than he could in his early days of transitioning from QB to WR.
I was slower than dirt but if it was anywhere near me, I got it. I was terrified of being beat to shite by LBs, but, I could make the catch.
he was awful. (edited to add remembering him failing to make key catch in big game when he came back for the ball. )
his best thing was the glorious inside sweep "the annexation of Panama". that required QB to hand him the ball.

He also wears the Captain "C" and is a standout special teamer.
Guy will get his pension for sure.

we knew this day was coming. I did anyway, because WR's do get injuries and his team don't have much.
I hope he makes it. I really do. And I am glad he made it long enough to get his pension. I am guessing this is year 5.

More examples of talent we wasted. Averages ten yards per carry as a freshman. Quit giving him the ball.
