Giants rookie Sterling Shepard is quickly becoming a star in this league.  He scored a TD in his first career game and caught 8 passes for over 100 yards in his second game.  He is now the clear second receiver behind Odell Beckham Jr.  Washington should learn by now to put Josh Norman on Odell for this game, look for a shoot out this game with Shepard running wild.
