No idea what to expect because of weather, but if throwing ball difficult, I figure they will try and get Alshon some reverses as they often do once a game even when weather is not a factor.
Alshon Jeffery caught seven passes for 83 yards in Week 11 versus the Ravens.
Jeffery was targeted a game-high 11 times, one more than Brandon Marshall, and led the team in receiving. He continues to impress as a well-rounded receiver. Jeffery can rack up yards post-catch and is a legit vertical threat. His game wasn't affected much by the strong winds and sloppy weather. Jeffery continues to produce like a solid WR2 and will be a top-20 receiver next week against the Rams.
Me too! In my league where I'm on the bubble. Thank you sweet baby JesusRaider Nation said:I have Jeffery AND Gordon going in the same league. Opponent crafting a noose for himself.
I have Jeffrey and Peterson and I'm a Viking fan. Very fun watching the game todayRaider Nation said:I have Jeffery AND Gordon going in the same league. Opponent crafting a noose for himself.

By the end of October, Around The League openly wondered if the Chicago Bears' second-year receiver Alshon Jeffery might be every bit as good as Brandon Marshall. A month later, we anointed Jeffery and Marshall the NFL's best wide receiver duo.
1. So what could Jeffery do for an encore?
Last week's 249-yard effort against the Minnesota Vikings was the eighth-highest total in the past decade.
More impressive than just the numbers, though, was the fashion in which Jeffery sliced and diced the Vikings secondary. As I noted on Wednesday's "Around The League Podcast," this was one of the best performances I've seen from a wide receiver in the past three decades.
Take a look at the highlight package at the top of the page. Jeffery moves the chains, dives for a ball over the middle, picks up first downs by making defenders miss after the catch, outraces a pair of defenders for an 80-yard score and pulls down one of the most acrobatic touchdowns possible.
Slants, screens, go routes, end-arounds. You name it, Jeffery excels at it.
At the three-quarter season mark, only Calvin Johnson and Josh Gordon have more yards from scrimmage than Jeffery's 1,224. Jeffery joins the short list of big, physical receivers capable of winning at the point of the catch, blowing the top off defenses deep and making tacklers miss with the ball in his hands.
When comparing two great receivers on the same team, I defer to the one beating double teams. As for Gregg Rosenthal, he believes Jeffery has already overtaken Marshall as the most dangerous receiver on the Bears roster.
It might not be long before defensive coordinators agree, opting to flip their top cover corner to Jeffery's side of the field.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" debates the Seahawks' Super Bowl chances and asks "Who do you trust?" as the playoffs approach.
I wouldn't say worried, but he's (beyond) flourished as it stands. Obviously you don't want a change.As far as handicapping Jeffery's upside Are you guys worried that Cutler is back?
I haven't watched the Cowboys game yet. But in the previous few games. Alshon's been drawing the #1 cb, Marshall has been drawing the double coverage. Hoping to re-watch mnf tonightHmm, what about drawing Joe Haden?No.As far as handicapping Jeffery's upside Are you guys worried that Cutler is back?
Definitely a concern. Haden had struggled more with quick, small WRs (A. Brown, Shorts) than with big, physical WRs. That said, you're not going to sit Jeffery unless you also have Calvin and Gordon on your roster, so just cross your fingers that he spends most of the afternoon on Marshall.Hmm, what about drawing Joe Haden?No.As far as handicapping Jeffery's upside Are you guys worried that Cutler is back?
I think this is right. The list of guys I would want over Jeffery right now in dynasty is pretty short:Top 5 dynasty WR? Very few players I would trade him for...
Gordon's one strike from being suspended for a year. He and Jeffery are 4/5 for me, but I don't think I'd trade Jeffery for Gordon... but that's such a small margin. It's weird to think Jeffery being top 5I think this is right. The list of guys I would want over Jeffery right now in dynasty is pretty short:Top 5 dynasty WR?
