DeSean Jackson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Redskins are calling WR DeSean Jackson's knee injury a "patella contusion" and consider him "day to day."  We'll keep a close eye on his practice participation this coming week.  D-Jax will be tough to trust in Week 15 fantasy lineups at less than 100%.

Got to get some treatment.”  We'll keep an eye on his practice participation.

Washington WR DeSean Jackson sat out Saturday's practice with an upper respiratory illness, according to The Associated Press.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.  The team is wisely taking it easy on him early in the week, but D-Jax is expected back for Sunday's game against the Patriots.  He'll be a risk/reward WR3 for that one.

Per team insider Tarik El-Bashir, the “expectation” is that Washington WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) will return this week barring another setback.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bucs. He didn’t practice at all this week after suffering a setback last Thursday. Washington has a Week 8 bye. Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder will continue to serve as the top 2 WRs this weekend.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game against the Jets. He “twinged” (HC Jay Gruden’s word) that hammy on Thursday but was able to get back on the field on Friday. If Jackson is active, though, he’ll see some combination of CBs Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie — and be at risk of an in-game setback. He’s a shaky WR3 for Week 6.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson pulled himself from Thursday's practice after feeling a "twinge" in his injured hamstring, according to HC Jay Gruden.  Sounds like a setback to us.  Consider Jackson unlikely to play against the Jets this weekend.  We'll have another update tomorrow.
