DeSean Jackson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Most Recent Fantasy Football News & Updates

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, and we’d bet against him playing. Even if he does, it’d be at less than 100% against a red-hot defense. D-Jax is best off on fantasy benches this week.  If Jackson is inactive on Sunday, Pierre Garcon and Andre Roberts would be Washington's top 2 WRs.  They'd be low-end WR3s in fantasy football.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that there's a "real chance" that Redskins QB Robert Griffin plays again this season.  It would make sense for Washington to get another look at RG3 before they make a decision on his pricey option this offseason.  Of course, it'd be impossible to trust Griffin in fantasy lineups.  And owners of Redskins pass-catchers -- especially TE Jordan Reed -- should probably be hoping Colt McCoy stays under center.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (leg) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday.  At this point, we'd bet against him playing against the Rams this weekend -- and he'd be tough to trust in fantasy lineups even if he does.  If D-Jax sits out, Andre Roberts would start alongside Pierre Garcon.  They'd both be low-end WR3s.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (leg) did not practice on Wednesday.  Insider Tarik El-Bashir noticed D-Jax "limping a bit" on the sidelines.  Consider him no better than 50-50 to suit up against the Rams this weekend.  We'll have another update tomorrow.

Redskins HC Jay Gruden didn't offer much of an update on WR DeSean Jackson's leg injury on Monday.  Jackson will be "ok with time," Gruden said, but it's unclear "how long it will be."  We might have to wait until Wednesday's practice before we get another update, but it's clear that D-Jax is not a lock to be ready for this weekend's game against the Rams.

Washington WR DeSean Jackson suffered a bruised right fibula in Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, according to The Washington Post. Jackson initially got hurt on a cheap shot by Colts S Mike Adams after a reception at the sideline but returned only to aggravate it. Jackson got carted in for X-rays, finished the game on the sideline and then reportedly limped as he left the stadium. He said after the game that he was in "constant pain." We'll obviously watch his status this week, but the diminutive receiver sounds pretty iffy for Week 14 at this point. His absence would open up opportunities for WR Andre Roberts, though you shouldn't go chasing him on your waiver wire.

The Tampa Bay defense could be without CB Alterraun Verner and DE Michael Johnson again in Week 11. Verner is questionable after putting in 3 limited practices this week with the hamstring injury that cost him Week 10. We'll keep an eye on his game status, but Verner will make for a risky IDP play even if he starts. Johnson also missed Week 10 but seems likely to return Sunday after putting in full practices Thursday and Friday this week. The Tampa team D isn't worth a fantasy look no matter who's in or out. Missing Verner would only further enhance an already positive passing matchup for Washington QB Robert Griffin and his WRs.

Washington WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) is active for tonight’s matchup with the Giants. Jackson’s not close to 100%, but he’ll tough it out against the divisional foe. The 27-year-old belongs in fantasy lineups as an upside WR2.

The Redskins listed WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Giants.  He played 62 snaps last weekend, avoided a setback and put in 3 limited practices this week.  The short week doesn't help his cause, but he's fully expected to play tomorrow night.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) is active for today’s game against the Eagles. HC Jay Gruden suggested on Friday that Jackson’s snaps will be limited. That, plus the chance of re-injury, makes him an extremely risky WR3.

Redskins HC Jay Gruden admitted that WR DeSean Jackson's snaps will be limited if he plays against the Eagles on Sunday.  "He won't get 80 plays," Gruden said. "May get 20-30."  That's not enough to make D-Jax a quality fantasy play.  He should be on benches for Week 3.  WRs Andre Roberts and Ryan Grant should pick up extra snaps on Sunday, but look for WR Pierre Garcon and TE Niles Paul to lead the way in targets.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the Eagles.  He put in a limited practice on Friday, which HC Jon Gruden called "a step in a positive direction."  Gruden added that D-Jax will be re-evaluated on Saturday and again prior to Sunday's game.  It sounds like he's a game-time decision.  The good news is that Redskins-Eagles kicks off at 1 pm ET, so we'll know Jackson's status by noon.  He'll be a risk/reward WR3 if active.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday.  He at least did some individual work off to the side.  HC Jay Gruden expects to get a "good look" at D-Jax tomorrow and suggested that he could be a game-time decision.  Jackson figures to push to play against his old Eagles teammates this weekend.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday.  His injury isn't believed to be serious, and he has a chance to play against the Eagles this weekend.  Check back tomorrow for another update.

Insider Jason Cole reports that there's no "serious structural damage" to Redskins WR DeSean Jackson's shoulder.  D-Jax is dealing with soreness on Monday, but it sounds like he has a good chance to be ready for this weekend's game against the Eagles.  We'll track his status throughout the week.

Washington WR DeSean Jackson left in the 1st quarter of the game against the Jaguars after hurting his left shoulder.  The Jacksonville DB reached in to knock away a deep pass and then fell on him, with Jackson's shoulder hitting the ground first.  It was the 2nd time Washington had targeted Jackson deep within the 1st 3 drives.  We'll keep an eye on his status.  Andre Roberts steps up to the #2 WR role with Jackson out.

Update: Jackson has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
