Sterling Shepard
Shepard received a four-year extension before the 2019 season began and was poised to take over some of the targets that were left on the table by the Odell Beckham Jr. trade.
Shepard did lead the team in receptions (57), but only averaged 10.1 yards per catch. Two concussions limited him to 10 games and even though he’s a gamer, one wonders how that affected his play down the stretch.
Shepard and Tate are very similar in style and both work better in the slot than they do on the outside.
