Jermar Jefferson News
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson is in line to receive increased usage on Sunday. Both D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) have been ruled out for Week 14, leaving rushing duties to Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike. It remains to be seen what the workload will look like for the duo, but it goes without saying that both should be more involved than they have been all season. Igwebuike has totaled 152 scrimmage yards through 12 games, finding the end zone once. On the other hand, Jefferson has 88 yards and two touchdowns through just five games. Both backs fall into the mid-range RB3 territory against Denver.
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (illness) missed practice on Thursday and was added to the Week 14 injury report. There is a flu bug going around the Lions locker room, so that's likely what Jefferson is dealing with. He should have a good chance to play this weekend against the Denver Broncos, and with D'Andre Swift (shoulder) looking likely to miss his second straight game, Jefferson would again have an elevated role in the backfield behind Jamaal Williams. The 21-year-old seventh-rounder only saw five carries for 18 yards in last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings, though, and he won't have any standalone fantasy appeal behind Williams in a tough matchup on the road against the Broncos defense.
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (ankle, knee), who was questionable for Thursday's game, is active on Thanksgiving against the Chicago Bears. Jefferson was held out of last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns, but he'll return this week to provide depth behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. The 21-year-old seventh-rounder has scored in each of his last two games, but he's seen action in only two games this year (when Williams was hurt) and has played 14 total offensive snaps in those two games. Don't expect him to see the field much, if at all, on Turkey Day against the Bears. Jefferson is strictly a dynasty/keeper stash right now.
