Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard was paid $500,000 in bonus money despite the fact he didn't fully reach his numbers in 2025. He was to receiver $125,000 each if he reached 40 catches, 50 catches, 400 receiving yards and 500 receiving yards. He ended up with 39 receptions for 371 yards, but he was inactive for the final four games. He received bonuses for all of the incentives.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard caught his only target for five yards in a 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 14.
Huddle Up: In three games since Chris Godwin has returned to action, Shepard has a total of five catches for 22 yards. Throw in the fact that the Tampa Bay passing attack has been struggling in general in recent weeks, and Shepard doesn't have any fantasy value right now.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard caught one of his two targets for five yards in a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
Huddle Up: Shepard has four catches for 17 yards in the two games since Chris Godwin returned to the lineup, and unless Godwin or Emeka Egbuka miss time, it is hard to see Shepard putting up enough numbers to warrant a spot on fantasy rosters.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Shepard is averaging nearly five receptions per game over the last three weeks but has 20 receiving yards or less in two of those three games. He will see a few targets this week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
