DeSean Jackson

Week 9 at Carolina Panthers

DeSean Jackson's trade request was denied, but he may be happy to know Ryan Fitzpatrick is back. Jackson and Jameis Winston didn't gel together as well as DJax did with Fitzpatrick. Oddly enough, though, most of his production last week came on a 60-yard TD from Winston.

DJax had two 100-yard games in Fitzpatrick's three starts at the beginning of the year. Don't expect that to be the case every game, but it's a good indicator that he has a chance for a big play. He gets a decent matchup against the Panthers this week and can be viewed as a WR2.

Week 7 vs. Cleveland Browns

DeSean Jackson hasn't slowed down his pace with Jameis Winston at QB. He had another big game last week, finishing with 77 yards on four catches (team-leading nine targets). He's been much better this season than in 2017 where he finished with career lows.

Expect Jackson to continue his productive season this week against the Browns. It's not a tough matchup, and Jackson has only really had one bad game all year. We like him as a lower-end WR2 choice vs. Cleveland.

Week 4 at Chicago Bears

DeSean Jackson had his worst game of the season last week, finishing with three receptions for 37 yards and zero touchdowns. He did have a punt return for a score, but it was called back due to a penalty. He played about the same and received a normal amount of targets as the first two weeks—he just didn't have a big scoring play in Week 3.

Jackson was never going to keep up the pace from the first two games, but he has at least brought some value this year. He's already matched his TD output from a year ago and has about half the yards he did from last season in just three games. He gets a decent matchup against the Bears this week, where he could break loose again. He should be viewed as a WR3.
