Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (hand) got bad news on Monday. According to ESPN's Michael C. Wright, Jeffery has his hand in a cast and could miss a few weeks. The good news is that Jeffery won't require surgery and has a Week 6 bye to recover, but there's no definite timetable on his return. Jeffery has 14 catches for 184 yards and two TDs on the season.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie wideout was hyped as a fantasy sleeper in the preseason, but that hasn't really materialized yet, and this news could be the push for some owners to drop him.
