Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He did not practice on Tuesday and a mid-week downgrade always raises a red flag. What's more, he did have a hamstring injury back on Nov. 19 and it caused him to miss some practice, so he's going to be at risk of a re-aggravation in the game.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: Alshon Jeffery
Alshon Jeffery was fantastic on Thanksgiving. Will he put up another big fantasy game against the Cowboys on Thursday?

He gets a somewhat bad matchup against the Cowboys, who were hot, but now they’re being torched by receivers. They have allowed allowed three TDs to receivers in their last two games after allowing just two in the first six outings. In other words, this seems like a good matchup for the taller Jeffery.
Plus, He’s scored four TDs in his last three games to go with 23 catches in that span. If he’s active, he’ll have a great chance to put up big numbers.
Fantasy impact: He’s probably not an option in FanDuel with the injury risk, but his owners in season leagues have to start him even on a short week. He’s a high-end WR2.
