Cecil Shorts returns to practice, still can't be trusted in fantasy

Cecil Shorts came back to practice on Thursday and got in a full session. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Cecil Shorts made a surprising return to practice on Thursday, getting in a full session. It's his first practice in about two weeks.

Shorts has been plagued with hamstring injuries this season, missing the first two games and aggravating it in Week 4. He was expected to be out for multiple weeks, but with the full practice Shorts could be on track to return in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. In the two games he played, Shorts has seven catches for 60 yards.

Fantasy impact: Shorts is one of the most injury-prone receivers in the league, so owners should wait and see how he does in Friday's practice. He needs to prove his hamstrings can hold up for more than one week before you can think about starting him again. If healthy, Shorts has WR3 upside against the Titans defense, and Blake Bortles could use a steady veteran hand, but it's far from a guarantee.
