Sterling Shepard to be an instant-impact player
Second-rounder among impressive rookie WRs for Giants

| The Giants used the spring to assess their wide receiving corps and came away impressed. Sterling Shepard appears to be an instant-impact player and all is going well with Victor Cruz's rehab. There also appears to be some youngsters (led by Darius Powe and Roger Lewis) that have potential.
Adding a veteran such as Anquan Boldin, Andre Johnson, Roddy White or James Jones might not be the move this time around, unless Cruz or one of the younger receivers suffer some sort of setback. (NJ.com)
FFToday's Take: Shepard is being drafted in the middle of the 11th round at the moment in PPR leagues, which makes him an absolute steal given his pro readiness and the path he has to roughly 70 receptions this season. His value is sure to spike as training camp and preseason games roll around, so early drafters should take advantage of the discount. Barring injury, he should be a very solid WR3 in all leagues as a rookie.
