Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery did not practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring strain. He missed Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering a setback last week in practice. He will likely be questionable to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Alshon Jeffery not practicing yet, fantasy value for Week 3 is unclear

It's not looking good for Jeffery right now. Yes, a player missing a practice on Wednesday is not a bad sign, but he's been limited for over one month dating back to the preseason. Worse yet, the bigger problem lies with the Bears missing out on Jay Cutler, which means quarterback Jimmy Clausen will be under center.
On top of that, the Bears will get a hungry Seahawks secondary now armed with safety Kam Chancellor. Oh, and this game is in Seattle, so that should be a nice environment for Clausen -- you could even say he’s in a pickle.
Fantasy impact: If Alshon is a go, it’s still going to be tough to bench him in standard leagues. Although, he’s far from a must-play WR for owners with deep benches, or if you were able to make some savvy moves on the wire. Also, no other Bears receiver is worth a look with Clausen at QB.
