Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: One catch in loss
Shepard caught his lone target for 15 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Shepard was not much of a factor Monday, as his one target was a season low through five games with Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout played 37 of the Buccaneer's 82 offensive snaps and was mostly an afterthought in the passing game. His usage could drastically change going forward, as Chris Godwin (ankle) is likely done for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to miss at least three weeks. Shepard is a candidate to take on a lot of the target share from quarterback Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer also set to handle more work. The 31-year-old Shepard should see a lot of opportunities in a Week 8 matchup against the Falcons.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Seven touches as No. 3 receiver
Shepard brought in three of four targets for 23 yards and rushed four times for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The veteran wideout remained in the No. 3 wideout role despite the return of Jalen McMillan from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. While Shepard's production wasn't anything to write home about fantasy-wise, it's notable the veteran logged a 75 percent snap share (58 snaps), his largest workload yet. However, Shepard could see his participation rate take a hit to a degree in a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens next Monday night with McMillan potentially returning to a larger role and Trey Palmer (concussion) also potentially set to garner active status.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Scores TD in Week 5 loss
Shepard brought in one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Shepard commemorated his signing to the active roster earlier in the week by getting into the end zone for the first time since Week 10 of last season, while with the Giants. The veteran had logged five targets and turned them into a 3-51 line four days earlier against the Eagles as well, but once Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) are healthy again, it's difficult to see Shepard retaining any appreciable, reliable fantasy value.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Earns active roster spot
Shepard was signed to the Buccaneers' active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Shepard was elevated to Tampa Bay's active roster ahead of their Week 3 win and ended up playing 47 snaps on offense and catching three of five targets for 51 yards. His addition to the 53-man roster comes as the team's wide receiver corps has been decimated by injuries, with Mike Evans (knee), Jalen McMillan (hamstring), Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) all tending to something ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup with the Falcons.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Returns to practice squad
Shepard reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Shepard was afforded a large workload in his second appearance of the season Sunday against the Eagles with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) inactive and Trey Palmer suffering a concussion in the contest. On his 50 (of 77) offensive snaps, Shepard hauled in three of five targets for 51 yards, which mostly was fueled by a 30-yard catch. With all of Mike Evans (knee/calf), McMillan and Palmer estimated as non-participants and Kameron Johnson (ankle) listed as limited on Monday's injury report, Shepard is poised for another expanded look in the Buccaneers offense for Thursday's game at Atlanta, assuming he's elevated again from the practice squad.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Elevated from practice squad again
Tampa Bay elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Sterling Shepard: Reverts to practice squad
Shepard reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday.
Shepard didn't record any stats during Sunday's loss to the Broncos despite playing four snaps on offense. If Kameron Johnson (ankle) isn't good to go versus the Eagles next week, Shepard could be elevated for the second straight week.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Elevated for Week 3
The Buccaneers elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
After spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants, Shepard signed with the Buccaneers in June. While he wasn't able to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, the 2016 second-round pick opted to stick around in Tampa Bay on the practice squad. With Kameron Johnson (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Shepard's elevation to the active roster will provide depth in the Bucs' wide receiver corps behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer.

Sterling Shepard: Sticking on practice squad
Shepard is in line to sign with the Buccaneers' practice squad, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Shepard was released as part of Tampa Bay's final roster cuts Monday. The 31-year-old will now stick with the team on the practice squad, where he should serve as one of the top options to move up to the active roster if the Buccaneers are in need of extra receiver depth at some point this regular season. Shepard appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Giants in 2023, catching 10 passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.

Sterling Shepard: Dropped by Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers released Shepard on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Shepard inked a deal with the Buccaneers in June after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Giants, but it now appears that Tampa Bay has decided to part ways with the veteran wideout. According to Rapoport, the Buccaneers are holding a spot for Shepard on the team's practice squad if the 31-year-old clears waivers.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Unlikely to play Friday
Shepard (undisclosed) is not likely to suit up for the Buccaneers' preseason finale against the Dolphins on Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
An unspecified injury has kept Shepard from playing in either of the Bucs' first two preseason games, and it appears he will also sit out for the preseason finale Friday. Despite missing an extended amount of time, the 2016 second-round pick is expected to make Tampa Bay's 53-man roster as a backup wide receiver behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan. Shepard signed a one-year deal with the Bucs in June after spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Returns to practice
Shepard (undisclosed) practiced Tuesday while wearing a black non-contact jersey, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Shepard's return to the field is good news, but his limited availability should keep him questionable for Friday's game against the Dolphins.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Shepard, who did not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bengals, is dealing with an unspecified injury and didn't practice Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Smith notes the wideout actually began missing practice time in the days leading up to the game versus Cincinnati. Shepard, who was a college teammate of Baker Mayfield, was brought in to offer veteran depth, although he may realistically serve as no more than a No. 5 receiver given the promising play of both rookie Jalen McMillan and second-year wideout Trey Palmer.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Links up with Tampa
Shepard agreed to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Shepard spent the past eight years with the Giants, playing 90 of a possible 131 regular-season games. He's had a hard time staying healthy for years now, but until last season he consistently drew targets whenever available. After catching just 10 passes in 15 games last season, the 31-year-old will compete for a depth role with Tampa Bay.
