From @RapSheet and me: Bills RB Fred Jackson and WR Sammy Watkins are optimistic they will be able to go today against the Chiefs.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 9, 2014 Jackson has been suffering from a groin injury he experienced in Week 7. The Bills managed just 67 total rushing yards against the Jets in Week 8 during Jackson's absence, so his return should be good news to both Bills fans and fantasy owners. Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown have handled backfield duties.

Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners should consider the obvious here: Jackson may be returning, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be getting a heavy workload as he looks to fully heal. It would be easier to recommend gambling on him if the Bills were facing a softer run defense, but the Chiefs have been one of the stingiest defenses when it comes to points allowed to fantasy running backs. It would be best to let Jackson ease his way back into the game. His matchup doesn't get much easier in Week 11 when the Bills face the Miami Dolphins.
