Fantasy Impact
Shorts has had success in the past with weak QB play. In 2012 he nearly posted 1,000 receiving yards and 7 TD's with a combination of Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert. Having said that, he was the only real target the Jaguars had at the time. Shorts may post a few solid games here and there, but will not be nearly consistent enough to warrant roster considerations unless an injury occurs to another WR on the Texans.
