Likely to be finished in NY Shepard ended the regular season with 10 catches on 22 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown over 15 games. He added a six-yard rush and a 10-yard punt return.

Impact Shepard was able to stay healthy this season after playing in just 10 contests over the previous two campaigns due to an Achilles tear and a torn ACL. However, he was relegated to a role near the back of New York's receiver depth chart and played fewer than one-third of the team's offensive snaps in all but one of his 15 appearances. The Giants seemed to acknowledge that the campaign would be his swan song with the franchise, allowing him to be the final player out of the tunnel for pregame introductions during the season finale and focusing on getting him three catches in that game so that he could move into the fifth spot all-time in receptions for the franchise. It remains to be seen if Shepard will seek to continue playing with another franchise or call it a career.

Gets garbage-time score in loss Shepard caught one of four targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's blowout Week 10 loss to Dallas.

Impact Shepard was shut out in the receiving department until he caught a two-yard touchdown toss from Tommy DeVito on a fade toward the corner of the end zone with six seconds remaining in the contest. The catch was just his fifth of the campaign, as he's played a very minimal role in the Giants offense this season. Shepard did see a season-high four targets Sunday, though they all came on New York's final drive of the contest when the outcome had long been decided. With that context, there's little reason to expect the veteran wideout to work his way into a more prominent offensive role, especially with the Giants ranking among the league's worst passing teams and looking ahead to a top draft pick rather than a playoff push.

Limited to just one snap Sunday Shepard wasn't targeted while taking the field for just one of the Giants' 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.

Impact Head coach Brian Daboll talked of potentially expanding Shepard's role ahead of Week 5 action, and while the wideout ended up receiving a season-high 18 snaps in the Giants' loss to the Dolphins that week, his playing time trended back down again Week 6. Now sitting at 1-5 on the season heading into this Sunday's game against the Commanders, the Giants are quickly slipping from the playoff picture and may not have motivation to open up playing time for the 30-year-old Shepard at the expense of young wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt.
