Suffers eye injury, out Monday
Shepherd (eye) is inactive for Monday's Week 16 game against Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear when or how Shepherd's eye injury occurred, but he was deemed questionable to play less than three hours before Monday's 8:15 PM ET kickoff and has subsequently been deemed inactive. The veteran defensive tackle had logged between 40 and 52 percent of New Orleans' defensive snaps over the past five weeks. Bryan Bresee could see an increase of work on defense with Shepherd out Monday.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Saints brought in Shepherd to help replace their significant losses on the defensive interior. The 2018 third-round pick's production and playing time steadily improved over the past five years with the Jets, accumulating a career-high 33 tackles in 2018. Shepherd now has an opportunity to carve out an even larger role in New Orleans alongside Khalen Saunders, Bryan Bresee and Malcolm Roach.
