1. Sterling Shepard

Shephard was quite clearly the top performer on this list, and if there’s any chance he’s still out there even in your non-PPR leagues, he should be snapped up right away. Despite Brandon Marshall being pegged as their number one target opposite Odell Beckham Jr. before the season got started, Eli Manning looks Shepard’s way often, and last year’s eight touchdown scoring rookie found the end zone for the first time in 2017 with a 77 yard catch and run in Philadelphia at the weekend.

Through three weeks, Shepherd has 16 catches, and 200 yards (top 20 in both categories) and Beckham’s return to full health only helped Shepard take advantage as he wasn’t a focal point in the New York offense.

Next weekend, the Giants face a Tampa Bay team who got shredded by Case Keenum on Sunday, and Shepard could be in for another huge game after his dominant performance against Philadelphia in Week 3. Buy Shepard, sell Marshall.
