Jags expect WR Dede Westbrook back this week

Nov 14, 2017

Rookie wide receiver Dede Westbrook (core) was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this month but has yet to be activated. The Jaguars have until a week from Tuesday to move him to the active roster.

Fantasy Impact:

Marrone told reporters that Westbrook will be ready to come back from injured reserve this week, and with Allen Hurns out, the team will need others to step up. The story said Cole and Westbrook - when activated off injured reserve - should see major roles with Allen Hurns potentially out of the lineup. However, keep in mind it's tough to trust a receiver in fantasy lineups who is just coming back after missing time. It may take a week to two to get back up to speed but Westbrook could certainly be worth a flier.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
