In his first outing as a Philadelphia Eagle, Alshon Jeffrey caught three passes for 38 yards against Washington. He was targeted seven times in the matchup and shadowed by Josh Norman most of the game. While his first week as an Eagle did not go so well, Jeffery should have an easier time in Week 2.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 2: Alshon Jeffery
His regular season Eagles debut was ugly but, here is why Jeffery’s Week 2 comeback is fantasy relevant.

The Eagles head to Arrowhead Stadium Sunday to face the Kansas City Chiefs. Jeffrey will matchup against Marcus Peters, who will probably not shadow him this matchup. The Chiefs are also playing without safety Eric Berry.
Fantasy impact: Jeffery had a tough draw in Week 1 against Norman. This week he will have a much easier test with the Chiefs. Jeffery will see a lot of targets against the Chiefs, who are down key players in the secondary, and he is going to be looking to make up for a busted Week 1.
Recommendation: Start
