Sterling Shepard

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) will not return to Week 16 against the Cowboy.

Shepard came up lame following a reception in the fourth quarter and was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game with a hamstring injury. It’s an injury that will likely extend beyond this week, likely meaning Trey Palmer will step into an increased role in the coming weeks. Fantasy managers in the championship round will want to monitor the situation closely. Shepard caught 1-of-3 targets for 20 yards and added 14 yards on his only carry prior to departing.
