Shepard (hamstring) secured 10 of 14 targets for 76 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Shepard wasn't eased back into action by any means. The Giants could ill afford to do so, considering Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) were unavailable and Kadarius Toney exited the game after reinjuring his ankle. Shepard's reception, yardage and target totals all were team-high figures, with the first and last also serving as new high-water marks for the season. He figures to remain consistently involved even if some or all of his position mates are able to return to action in a Week 7 home matchup against the Panthers.
