Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns is listed as probable to face the Indianapolis Colts on Week 3. He was a full participant in practice on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday.
Allen Hurns is still a risky fantasy play despite probable status
Hurns looks like he’ll play against the Colts. We break down the fantasy implications.

Hurns had to leave on crutches after Week 2, but he apparently is feeling much better. He will have a chance to start across from Cecil Shorts III (hamstring), who will be making his season debut. Fellow rookie Marqise Lee is not going to play, so there should be plenty of snaps for Hurns in his third professional start.
Fantasy impact: It's the Jaguars, so there is some inherent risk in using Hurns or Shorts. The team can't protect their quarterback Chad Henne and he is dead last among the starting quarterbacks in completion percentage while being sacked more than any other player. Fantasy owners should probably look elsewhere this week, but Hurns could get some new life in the fantasy world once Blake Bortles takes over at QB. Additionally, those who were looking to take a flier on Allen Robinson in extremely deep leagues should reconsider.
