Fantasy Upside
Desean Jackson returns to Philadelphia and should make an impact on the Eagles offense. Jackson has led the NFL in yard per catch four times during his career including last season, and Philly lacked that deep threat in 2018. He will serve as the No. 2 receiver and have many opportunities in the passing game.
Fantasy Downside
The Eagles offense revolves around the tight ends more than the wide receivers. Although Jackson will be on the field a lot, there are only so many balls to go around. His health and age also could be an issue as he has not played a full season since 2013. He will help the Eagles but only as a third or fourth option in the passing game.
2019 Bottom Line
Jackson should be drafted as depth only. His ADP is 115 and unless your league has a yard per catch category, he will be limited to 50 catches and 825 yards on the season. The main issue is Jackson’s role in the offense where he will be used to stretch the opposing defense in order to open things up for other receivers.
