Injury concerns should temper fantasy enthusiasm for Alshon Jeffery in 2016

In theory, the Chicago Bears could have a pair of thoroughbreds at receiver. Alshon Jeffery is back for at least one more season after the club applied the franchise tag in the offseason. Jeffery is ninth in the NFL in receiving yards since 2013 (3,361) and averaged 89.7 receiving yards per game in 2015 -- the eighth-best total in the league. On the other side of the field, Kevin White is healthy following a disappointing rookie year where he missed all 16 games because of a stress fracture. The seventh overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft, White caught 109 passes for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final season at West Virginia.
