Bucs receiver says he's not worth a spot on your fantasy team

The Buccaneers have a lot players worth using on your fantasy team, especially receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. If you look a little further down the receiver depth chart, you'll see Russell Shepard. You don't want him, though.

There's nothing wrong with Shepard — he's a talented, young player who transitioned from being a quarterback in high school to a wideout at LSU. In 2014 he led Tampa Bay in special teams tackles with 14 and was named the special teams captain for 2015.

But since fantasy football doesn't really account for great special teams play, Shepard isn't someone you'd want on your roster.
