Jeffery practiced Wednesday but was downgraded Thursday due to an illness. He managed to return on Friday, though, and the Bears will surely keep him busy against the No. 8 pass defense.
Fantasy impact: Jeffery came up big for fantasy owners in Week 14, catching six passes for 107 yards and a touchdown against Washington. While his calf issue continues to show up on Chicago’s weekly injury report, Jeffery has finished with at least 85 yards receiving in each of his last three games.
Minnesota is a tougher matchup for Jay Cutler, but Jeffery should have no problem stepping up again. Fire him up like you always would as a WR1. He’ll see plenty of targets come his way.
