Sterling Shepard of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is grappling with a hamstring injury, joining two teammates with similar issues as they prepare for a challenging matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
His potential absence raises concerns for fantasy managers, especially given the Chiefs' strong defense against wide receivers. Shepard's return to practice offers a glimmer of hope, but his injury status remains uncertain until just before kickoff.
With Shepard possibly sidelined, the Buccaneers' receiving corps is significantly weakened, placing more responsibility on less experienced players like Trey Palmer.
