Official Alshon Jeffery - The Bandwagon (1 Viewer)

[Futz]

Besides just getting back on the field, I do have concerns that Marques has earned some snaps going forward. He might bite into any high end production expected of Alshon.

I'm just not seeing that.

Wilson has been invisible for long stretches despite the absence of Jeffery. You don't take away snaps from the genuine article to give them to the poor man's version of it.

Wilson might force his way into 2 receiver sets to the detriment of Royal because he brings a length advantage that Royal lacks. But Wilson is still far behind Jeffery and I just don't see him forcing a share like Jeffery did to Marshall.

Gase had to have penciled in alshon and Marquess as the split ends with royal being the slot guy. So when alshon comes back for week 15, no reason they can't do that

 

[shader]

Alshon will be the main focus when/if he returns.

 

[The General]

Did he make an appearance at practice today?

I'm not insinuating Wilson is better or deserves reps I just think Chicago probably has more trust in him now and they may try to get him on the field more to protect Alshon long term.I agree that Royal could see a downturn in targets if all 3 are on the field.

 

[flapgreen]

Alshon Jeffery did participate in open portion of Wednesday's practice. #Bears

 

[The General]

Is it happening?

 

[shady inc]

doubt it

 

[Shutout]

How can you trust it?

 

[Futz]

How can you trust it?

Some of us might not have too many other options.

 

[ShamrockPride]

I'm stuck in a jam with a weak WR set on my team, and one of my main 2 (not including Alshon) on a bye, but even I just want to see him wait for the bye. At this point, why rush it, you already missed a third of the season.

I had a snide remark ready then I figured it wasnt worth it. No to this. Just no. Dont overthink things.

 

[shady inc]

limited again today

Adam JahnsVerified account ‏@adamjahns 21m21 minutes ago
#Bears WRs Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal were limited at practice today. Good sign for Royal, who sat out yesterday.

 

[flapgreen]

#Bears WRs Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (ankle) are questionable.

 

[The General]

If he plays you have to think he's 100%. They wouldn't roll him out there the week before the bye unless he's good to go.

 

[Shutout]

If he plays you have to think he's 100%. They wouldn't roll him out there the week before the bye unless he's good to go.

Unless they sense they REALLY need a win and are playing a beatable opponent. Both those scenarios seem true in this case.

 

[flapgreen]

Bennett injured in practice and now questionable.

 

[Van Dyman]

Bennett injured in practice and now questionable.

Bennett, Alshon, and Royal all questionable. Forte and Wilson could be really, really busy this week.

 

[fantasy stud]

As a Jeffery owner, I'd rather start Wilson again at 100 percent than see Jeffrey play at 50 percent I feel obligated to play him.

 

[georg013]

If he plays im not getting cute. Im starting him.

 

[icehouse]

Rotoworld seems convinced he will play tomorrow.

 

[BigBlue_RI]

Picked up Wilson. I can't rollout Rashad Jennings or Isaiah Crowell as a flex for the 6th week in a row.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Caught a part of a score(670) broadcast thursday. Dont remember who exactly was talking (I think it was Biggs, but not positive) but he said that he was at the bears practice(at least the part media was allowed to watch) and even though Jeffery was listed as limited that he did everything all the other WR's did. He did also say though that he would like to see a few practices in a row before making a call as to whether he would play. Trying to find the podcast since I don't want to just throw something out there.

Yep... Biggs. Hour 3 of Mully and hanley show on thursday. Here...

 

[wilked]

I would say the same thing, except replace 'starting' with 'benching'

 

[lod01]

Seems like they are trying to make it an even fight this weekend vs the Lions.

This is an interesting case study for something Chris Harris was talking about on a recent podcast regarding whether or not you start a stud his first game back from a significant injury.

He posed the question this way:

Which would hurt you more?

Starting him and taking a bad score.

Or benching him when he has a huge game.

I, like Chris Harris, would be more hurt by the latter, so I usually play guys like Alshon right away.

 

[shady inc]

Expected to play per shefter

 

[flapgreen]

:fistpump:

 

[cantstop1999]

This guy is a bust , let's face it.

 

[The General]

I'll take a hundy and a TD. TIA.

 

[Loipz]

Flexing him if he goes. Hopefully pregame warm ups go fine.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Kills Wilson I guess.

 

[JuniorNB]

This guy is a bust , let's face it.

so are Jordy Nelson and Dez Bryant. If you're counting injuries as busts.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Expected to play per shefter

He also predicted that Alshon would play against the raiders via twitter. Still encouraging and I personally think he is a go, but just throwing the info out there.

 

[Jack White]

Kills Wilson I guess.

Not necessarily.

Depends on the status of Royal and Black Unicorn.

So, then he was a risk, and not really a bust. Plus, does not look like the season is quite over yet, is it?

Ill be fine...have been so far without him.

More worried about my "bust" of a 1st round pick in Charles and that missing spot in my lineup.

 

[flapgreen]

From Bears writers:

Have not seen Eddie Royal run any redzone routes. He's just watching. Jeffery looks sharp.

Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal look pretty good in warmups. #Bears

Alshon Jeffery just ran a deep corner route. Does not appear to be limited. #Bears

 

[OU#1]

I just traded this guy, so of course he is gonna play.

You're welcome....

 

[Jack White]

You can't lay that down without telling us what you got for him.

 

[flapgreen]

Jay Glazer says on FOX Alshon/Royal "back but will be worked into rotation, as neither is 100 percent." #Bears

 

[zeeshan2]

3 catches for 33 yards so far

 

[The General]

Stat sheet looking good so far. For those watching has been on field most snaps?

 

[flapgreen]

Yeah, doesn't completely like himself, but that's still good enough

 

[flapgreen]

Huuuuge bomb caught

 

[ShamrockPride]

I love you Alshon.
