Cecil Shorts injury update: Fantasy value high despite probable status

Cecil Shorts is probable for Sunday’s game, so go ahead and start him as you normally would.

Al Messerschmidt

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts is officially listed as probable on the team's injury report for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Shorts is nursing a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss practice on Thursday. He returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, though, and is expected to play against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact: The Jacksonville Jaguars passing attack has come alive in recent weeks, and Cecil Shorts has been a huge part of that. Shorts is having a breakout season, having already collected 747 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

Start Shorts with confidence every week for the rest of the season. He is getting better and better each week and will be a reliable fantasy producer the rest of the way.
