Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is listed as questionable because of a hamstring injury but is expected to play against the the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

Jeffery sat out Tuesday’s practice and was restricted on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old leads the Bears with 854 receiving yards this season. He had nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

Fantasy Update: If Jeffery starts, get him in the lineup. He should be in line for a good  game against a suspect Dallas secondary.
