DeSean Jackson's Holdout Could Be Ending

Jul 31, 2011

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is planning to end his holdout.

Jackson is planning to report to training camp either tomorrow or Tuesday and he's doing so without a new contract.

So far Jackson has missed the first 4 days of camp while trying to work out a long-term deal.

The Eagles offered him an extension, but Jackson declined.

So why end the holdout now?

He is getting fined $30,000 a day and if he doesn't report soon, he will not be able to become a free agent after this season.

Fantasy Impact:

No team has generated more headlines than the Eagles this past week, and this is more good news for a team many people feel has a great chance of winning a world championship. It's also good news for Jackson's fantasy value, as a long holdout could have caused him to fall down the charts.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
