According to Adam Schefter, Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson will return to the lineup today after a knee injury has kept him out since week 7. With Jackson back, it will be a nice boost for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston who has had only Mike Evans to throw to, which has limited his production. Evans and Vincent Jackson will face an Eagles defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers and Evans will be matched up against Byron Maxwell, who is playing like one of the worst cornerbacks in the NFL today. Evans is a must-start, and both Jackson and Winston are startable where you need them.
Ian Rapaport has reported that Austin Seferian-Jenkins will be out again for the Buccaneers with his shoulder injury. Replacement Cameron Brate isn't startable outside of the deepest leagues.
Again from Ian Rapaport, Matt Forte will miss his third game with a knee injury, giving Jeremy Langford his second start of the season. Langford has a tough matchup against a Broncos defense that has been stout all season long, but he will likely be the Bears' focus in a game that expects to see plenty of snow.
Adam Schefter has said that the Bears will also be without Alshon Jeffery due to groin and shoulder injuries. With Jeffery out, Marquess Wilson becomes a startable option where you have bye week or injury issues. With Forte and Jeffery out, Jay Cutler should not be starting in your fantasy lineup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks.
Once again from Rapaport, the San Diego Chargers will be without Ladarius Green once again this week as he continues to nurse an ankle injury. With Ladarius Green out, Antonio Gates becomes a more attractive option this week. This is another hit to Philip Rivers' weapons, and while that's a slight downgrade for him but with how he has been playing it is hard to keep him out of your lineup. I expect to see plenty of Danny Woodhead in the passing game, making him one of the best daily fantasy values of the week.
