While the New York Giants are feeling good coming off a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday and to a man would admit to wanting to go right back out there to play another game, the short week (the Giants play the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving) did no favors to wideout Sterling Shepard. The fantasy football owners of Shepard have to already be planning for him to miss his second straight game due to a bout of migraines that cost him the Chiefs game as well. While Shepard is not in the concussion protocol, something is clearly amiss here as Shepard has gone beyond what you would think a typical bout of migraines would last. The loss of Shepard is a big one as he was a monster in Week 10 in catching 11 balls and is the clear top receiver on a wideout-needy team which means tons of future targets. However if we were a betting unit, the smart money would be to say Shepard sits out and that would be music to the ears of tight end Evan Engram's owners since he will see a bunch of passes from QB Eli Manning.
