Jaguars WR Cecil Shorts practices Friday, probable for London game versus Dallas



According to Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Hays Carlyon, after missing Thursday's practice with his ever-ailing hamstring issues, wide receiver Cecil Shorts returned to the practice field Friday and is probable for the overseas battle with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in London.Shorts has missed three games already this year but is a valuable part of the Jaguars passing attack when healthy. He has 28 catches for 256 yards and one touchdown on the season.



Jaguars wide receivers are valuable in fantasy for one simple reason: The team throws the ball a lot because it's always behind. QBs Chad Henne and Blake Bortles have combined for 319 passing attempts on the season, the eighth-most in the league.While their offense isn't intimidating, their receivers do get targets. Shorts, when on the field, is a fringe WR3 for fantasy. His presence increases what little fantasy value Bortles has but diminishes teammates Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns' values.
