Sterling Shepard's Fantasy Outlook with Odell Beckham Jr. Injured

The New York Giants will have to make due without Odell Beckham Jr. against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

The Giants announced Saturday that OBJ will not play against the Redskins because of a bruised quadriceps.

As was the case a season ago when Beckham missed time with an ankle injury, the Giants will pivot to wide receiver Sterling Shepard as their No. 1 wideout in Beckham's absence. That's not great news for Big Blue, but it's a positive turn of events for fantasy owners who have been hoping for a breakout from the third-year pass-catcher.
