Alshon Jeffery returns to practice, likely to play Sunday for Bears, fantasy owners
The 0-3 Bears will get a welcome return of their No. 1 receiver on Sunday, barring any setbacks. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jeffery is officially listed as a limited participant, which is normal given how early it is in the week and given how long Jeffery has dealt with his hamstring injury.
After missing the preseason with it and after sitting out Weeks 2 and 3, it's expected for the No. 1 wideout to be eased into action. Jeffery is expected to start on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Fantasy Spin: Jeffery's upside will be capped with Jimmy Clausen likely under center, but he ought to draw plenty of targets amid a razor thin receiving corps.
A dozen targets is not out of the question against a suspect Raiders secondary, and even half of those being connected on would put him in WR3 territory.
Jay Cutler also returned to practice at a limited capacity, but there haven't been many indications to suggest he will play on Sunday. If he does, Jeffery is immediately a fringe WR1/WR2 once again.
