Eddie Royal Rising on the Depth Chart

ANALYSIS: Eddie Royal returned two weeks ago after missing five games with a knee injury. He finished with 31 yards on five catches, his most since Week 6, in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend. The five receptions (and six targets) are encouraging for those seeking PPR help, but Royal will get a major bump in value if Alshon Jeffery, who left Sunday's game with a hamstring issue, is sidelined in Week 16. The Chicago Bears are officially eliminated from the playoffs, so there's little incentive to rush Jeffery back if he's not 100 percent. Combine that with the season-ending injuries to Marquess Wilson and tight end Martellus Bennett, and suddenly Royal becomes the top target for Jay Cutler.
