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 not expected to play against the Bucs this weekend, according to ESPN's Britt McHenry.  D-Jax appeared close to a return last week but suffered a setback with that hammy in Thursday's practice.  His absence will again leave Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder as Washington's top 2 WRs.

Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for this weekend’s game against the Falcons. He was limited in practice this week but never went full speed according to the Washington media. D-Jax should still be on track for a Week 6 return. WR Pierre Garcon figures to dominate targets on Sunday. Rookie WR Jamison Crowder should also be busy.

Redskins HC Jay Gruden likes what he's seen from rookie WR Jamison Crowder so far.  "Right now, he's showing that he can take what we're teaching him in the classroom and translate it effortlessly to the playing field," Gruden said. "He's got good, strong hands, and obviously, based on what we saw on the college tape, we know going across the middle that he's got no fear.. He's got all the traits we want in a slot receiver, and obviously, he's a heck of a punt returner."  Crowder tallied 269 catches, 3,478 yards and 22 TDs in Duke's pro-style offense over the past 3 seasons.  But he goes 5'8, 185 pounds with 4.5 speed.  As Gruden noted, Crowder projects as a slot receiver in the pros.  He'll battle Andre Roberts for that job this summer.  But Roberts saw just 68 targets in that role last year.  Crowder doesn't have much short- or long-term fantasy upside.

The Redskins added WR Jamison Crowder in the 4th round of the 2015 NFL Draft.  The Duke product topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his final 3 college seasons and was also a dangerous return man.  But he goes just 5'8, 185 pounds with 4.5 speed.  It's tough to see Crowder emerging as more than a #3, slot receiver at the next level.  In Washington, he'll battle for that job with Andre Roberts and Ryan Grant.
