Fantasy impact: There’s no question fantasy owners should be starting Jeffery now. Regardless of any potentially nagging injury, Jeffery is a strong WR1 against an average at best Green Bay secondary. Royal was scooped up over the past week as Jeffery’s status became questionable. With Jeffery on the field, Royal loses a bit of edge for fantasy owners. Royal can still be started, but he’s more of a WR4 flier for anyone trying to put a Band-Aid over their Week 1 WR lineup.
