Scouting report

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New York Jets

With Mike Evans suspended this week, DeSean Jackson gets a bit of a bump. He's been somewhat of a disappointment this season, being held under 40 yards in 5-of-8 games. But with a favorable matchup this week against the Jets, and with Evans out, Jackson should improve.

We don't expect a monster game from Jackson, but a slight bump from his typical average isn't out of the question. He should be viewed as a WR2 option.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New Orleans Saints

DeSean Jackson finished with a healthy 8 targets last week, but only translated it into 3 receptions for 37 yards. Jackson was just one of many Bucs players to struggle in the game last week, but it is worrisome he's been held under 40 yards in more than half his games this season.

Jackson is capable of making big plays, but we haven't really seen it much this season. He hasn't had a single play over 50 yards and he has the third-lowest yards-per-carry average of his career so far. Jackson could get things going again this week against the Saints, but he'll continue to be a boom-or-bust type of player.

Jackson should be viewed as a strong WR3 option.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Carolina Panthers

DeSean Jackson caught 5-of-8 targets last week for 73 yards. Jackson has been hot-and-cold this season, literally alternating his good and bad weeks every game. If tradition holds up, he'll have a bad game this week, although that's really no way to do fantasy analysis. The simple fact is Jackson is an explosive player who can make a big play at any moment, and most of his production is reliant upon it.

Jackson could struggle this week as he gets a tough matchup against the Panthers. Carolina has been fairly tough on wideouts this season, which could make it hard for Jackson to find much space. The Bucs receiver should be viewed as a boom-or-bust WR3 option.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Buffalo Bills

DeSean Jackson has been pretty solid this season. Two weeks ago he finished with a 100-yard game, and last week he found the end zone. He hasn't been too consistent, but he's proved he isn't too unreliable.

This week could be a different story, though, as he gets a tough matchup against the Bills. Buffalo is allowing the 10th-lowest yards per attempt, which means he may not be able to go deep on this secondary. He should best be viewed as a WR3 this week.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Arizona Cardinals

DeSean Jackson had a breakout performance last week finishing with a season-high 106 yards on 5 receptions. He also led the team with 9 targets, although he failed to find the end zone. It's still a positive trend for Jackson, who has been hot and cold for most of the season.

Jackson's upward trend could continue this week in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season, which means Jackson has a good chance to explode for a big play.

Jackson carries some risk with him due to his low floor, but we like him as a strong WR3 this week.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. New England Patriots

DeSean Jackson hasn't made a huge splash so far this season. His longest catch has been 32 yards and he's only had one game out of three be worth a start in fantasy. He's been out-performed by teammate Adam Humphries, who has more receptions and yards.

Still, Jackson has been playing a lot in this offense and always has a chance to make a big play. He's kind of a matchup-based receiver, which means he should do well this week against the Patriots. New England has been terrible on defense this season, allowing the most receiving yards and touchdowns to opposing wideouts.

Jackson gets a big boost this week and should be viewed as a WR2.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. New York Giants

DeSean Jackson showed up last week with 4 receptions for a team-high 84 yards and a touchdown. Jackson took advantage, as we predicted, of Mike Evans being covered by Xavier Rhodes. That same strategy could work again this week in a tough matchup against the Giants.

Jackson is a decent option most weeks, especially since he's always a threat to score on a deep pass. He should be viewed as a WR3 this week
