Chalk Matchups
Sterling Shepard vs. Saints
Shepard saw his target share rise in Week 3 thanks to the departure of Evan Engram, and now he faces the dead last ranked New Orleans Saints pass defense featuring sub-replacement level slot CB P.J. Williams. Williams is currently tagged with a -80.9 PlayerProfiler.com coverage rating and a 143.8 passer rating in coverage.
The Giants offense should be in a position to throw more heavily than usual if the Saints offense continues to operate at a prolific level. Shepard sticks out like a sore thumb, checking every single box we look for: Volume. High scoring environment. Macro Matchup. Strong individual matchup. Proven skill set. He’s a fantastic play.
