Sterling Shepard (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6.

Shepard didn’t practice this week and isn’t ready to go against Denver. The ankle sprain isn’t considered serious, so we’d expect him to be ready to go for Week 7. Roger Lewis will work as the number one receiver for Eli Manning on Sunday night.

LeGarrette Blount rushed 14 times for 74 yards in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.

Blount’s long run went for 37 yards, and he played well against a tough defense, with other running backs combining for 12 carries behind him. The Eagles travel to take on the Panthers this Thursday night, which is a difficult matchup for Blount. He’s probably a touchdown-dependent FLEX for Week 6.

Marcus Johnson catches lone target in Week 6.

The second-year undrafted receiver ran a nice comeback route for 16 yards off a play-action pass from a run formation. Johnson isn’t getting enough playing time to put up reliable numbers.

Evan Engram gets shutout in Week 5.

The rookie tight end was targeted four times against the Chargers, but he didn’t have any catches in the game. With the injuries to the receivers for the Giants, Engram could be fed a lot of targets moving forward. His next opponent, the Broncos, haven’t been good against opposing tight ends this season.

Trey Burton catches one pass in Eagles’ win.

Burton gained nine yards on his lone target. He’s a solid contributor for Philadelphia, but Burton is not a fantasy option.

Roger Lewis scores in Week 5.

Lewis caught a 29-yard touchdown late in the game against the Chargers on a go route. With Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard, and Dwayne Harris all injured, Lewis could be the number one wide receiver for Eli Manning on Sunday night against Denver. He could have very good fantasy value for the rest of the season, but Denver probably isn’t the game to put him in your fantasy lineup.

Torrey Smith doesn’t do much in Week 6.

The veteran receiver appears to be getting his playing time scaled back, as breakout third-year player Nelson Agholor is playing like an emerging star and is taking two-receiver snaps, while rookie Mack Hollins appeared to get more time at Smith’s expense tonight. Smith had one reception (on two targets) for six yards, and he’s not a fantasy option right now.
