Bears rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was limited in practice on Thursday, but after missing four games with a hand injury this could signal a return on the low-end of his 4-6 week timetable. Jeffery caught 14 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns in five games before injury.
Alshon Jeffery injury: Limited practice could mean return to field for any fantasy owners left
The Bears rookie has missed half of the season, is he ready for some football? We break down the fantasy implications.

Chicago is in desperate need of any receiving threat outside of Brandon Marshall, the only Bear over 200 yards receiving this season. Jay Cutler was out of practice again, with Jason Campbell likely to start on Monday against the 49ers.
Fantasy Take: It would be more of a major boon to the Bears offense in real life than your fantasy team when Jeffery returns. He could have a bright future and might have gotten close to 600 yards or more if healthy all year, but he’s got some growth to do. This would be good for Campbell, who likely will make his first start as a Bear.
