Jeffery was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos due to shoulder and groin injuries, and was severely limited in Week 10's blowout win over the St. Louis Rams. However, the week of rest seems to have done Jeffery well. The Bears' No. 1 receiver practiced on a limited basis throughout the week and will play in an important divisional matchup.
Fantasy impact: With Eddie Royal and Martellus Bennett sitting out, the Bears could throw everything and the kitchen sink toward Jeffery in a game where the offense will be hard-pressed to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and company. The game script could easily favor Jeffery, who had three straight games of at least 116 yards before being limited in Week 10.
At his usual capacity, Jeffery is firmly in the WR1 conversation and fantasy owners should not have any hesitation getting him into their lineups for Week 12.
