Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts (groin) is listed as probable and will play in the team's Week 12 game against the Houston Texans. Shorts was limited in practice per usual but is in no danger of missing any time this week.
Cecil Shorts injury update: WR probable, will play for fantasy owners
The Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts is listed as probable and will play in Week 12. We break down the fantasy implications.
Sam Greenwood
Fantasy Impact: Shorts has turned in back-to-back underwhelming performances in the last two weeks with a total of four catches for 64 yards. Owners who drafted Shorts should have been well aware that his value would only be significant in PPR leagues and touchdowns would be scarce on Jacksonville's anemic offense. He has one touchdown on the year. Shorts publicly spoke out about his lack of targets last week so owners should expect to see quarterback Chad Henne make a more concerted effort to get him the ball.
Shorts has a tough match up in Week 12 in the Houston Texans and their underrated secondary. However, PPR owners should expect a bounce-back performance relative to the last two weeks. As the team’s top receiving option, he should return to a healthy amount of targets. Shorts is an average WR3 in PPR formats.
