The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports Sterling Shepard (Achilles) will be activated from the active/PUP list before Week 1. Duggan said the Giants “ramped up” Shepard’s work last week in preparation for the receiver to get ready for the season opener against Tennessee. Traditionally a slot receiver, Shepard could conceivably see work on the outside this season with Wan’Dale Robinson occupying the slot. Shepard as an outside wideout would give the Giants a reason to keep Kenny Golladay off the field as much as possible. Golladay has struggled mightily in training camp and preseason games. Shepard, who in 2021 averaged 7.57 targets per game before injuring his Achilles, could be somewhat useful in deeper fantasy leagues if he eventually gets a full complement of snaps.
New York Jets DFS Spin
The New York Post’s Brian Costello reports “all signs” point to Joe Flacco starting in Week 1 against the Ravens. While Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he would wait another week to officially declare an opening day starter, Costello hinted Wilson — after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus and a bone bruise — isn’t close to game action. “Once he’s able to get on his feet and stand for hours at a time he’ll be much closer,” Saleh told reporters this week. Flacco, by all accounts, has been impressive as the team’s starter in camp, drawing praise from Jets coaches and players. Elijah Moore said during last week’s Monday Night Football broadcast that there’s “no difference” between Flacco and Wilson. Flacco getting the call against his former team is an upgrade for the entire Jets offense. The only time Jets pass catchers were useful for fantasy in 2021 was when Wilson was sidelined with injury.

Giants vs. Jets Prediction:
When you think of these two teams, you don’t think offense and that will certainly be the case in the regular season. That said, the Giants cashed the over in both of their games this preseason, as did the Jets, who rattled off 21 unanswered points in their 24-16 victory over the Falcons on Monday night. I’m going to stick with those trends and take the over today at MetLife Stadium.
