WR Sterling Shepard – STUD

There was no “easing” Sterling Shepard back into action, in his return from turf toe suffered back in Week 2.

Shepard caught six of his eight targets for 59 yards and a two-yard touchdown from Jones in the second half.

The Giants expected Shepard to play a vital role in the passing game, and he took a big step towards filling the void of a reliable second option opposite Darius Slayton in Thursday night’s game.
