There is no official word yet on Avery's playing status for this week's game against the Buffalo Bills. On the year, he has 41 receptions for 553 yards and a touchdown through 10 games played.
Fantasy Impact: Avery has yet to miss a game this season, and appears to be on his way to playing against the Bills, though you will still want to keep a sharp eye on his participation in practice this week. He has been a safe bet to see 6-8 targets per game from quarterback Andrew Luck.
The Bills secondary has been beat regularly this season, so Avery may be a better starting option this week than usual. Still, his limited upside makes him a WR3/Flex at best in most fantasy formats.
