Fantasy Impact:
Spadaro writes, “a healthy and fully focused and hungry Jeffery would be a huge boost for the offense. He eats up defensive backs and the Eagles are fully aware that the last complete game Jeffery played was at Miami, on December 1, and he caught nine passes for 137 passes and a touchdown. He was dominating. Having Jeffery back all the way is an important piece in the offensive puzzle for 2020.” Jeffery missed six games last season due to the Lisfranc injury, but still managed to haul in 43 catches for 490 yards and four TDs. While his production has tailed off quite a bit since his early days in Chicago, the 30-year old has shown an ability to be a reliable option when healthy. The Eagles went out and took WR Jalen Reagor in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but he shouldn’t cut in to Jeffery’s production. If anything, Reagor might stretch the defense more, taking a safety with him, leaving Jeffery with one-on-one coverage on the outside. Jeffery is currently ranked #51 in FantasyPros consensus WR rankings, but if he can put together a full season of high-level production, he could finish as a WR3 or WR4 in most fantasy leagues.
