TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Minnesota Vikings

DeSean Jackson's debut with the Bucs didn't go over too well. He only caught 3 passes for 39 yards in a lousy effort. The good news, though, is he was second on the team in targets with 7.

He could benefit this week with Mike Evans likely being covered by Xavier Rhodes. Jameis Winston will need someone to throw to, and if Evans is covered, Jackson could be able to find some open spots on the field.

Jackson is a bit of a risky play given last week's performance, but his big-play ability makes him intriguing. He should be viewed as a mid-tier WR3 play this week.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Chicago Bears

DeSean Jackson's arrival in Tampa Bay should produce good numbers for the speedy wideout. He'll pair up perfectly with Mike Evans, and as we saw in the preseason, Jackson still has his speed.

Jackson is a candidate to be a boom-or-bust fantasy player this season as he's mostly a deep threat for Tampa Bay. He could have one of those booms this week against a favorable Bears defense. Jackson should be viewed as a low-end WR3 or strong WR4 option in Week 2.

TB WR DeSean Jackson - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

DeSean Jackson is coming off of a strong 1,000-yard season, proving he’s still a dangerous weapon in this league. He led the NFL in yards per catch in 2016 at 17.9, and he’ll bring that deep threat to the Bucs. He should pair up nicely with Mike Evans on the outside, giving the team a power-and-speed combo with developing quarterback Jameis Winston.

Fantasy Downside

Jackson is a smaller player and is more prone to getting hurt. He’s been mostly healthy throughout his career but has had some minor injuries keep him out or make him limited in certain games. His big-play ability also makes him a boom-or-bust candidate as he can have several games with low outputs.

2017 Bottom Line

Jackson takes a bit of a step back this season as he’s not the top receiver in the offense, but he’s going to be a strong No. 2 in Tampa Bay. He’s exactly the deep threat the Bucs were looking for to pair with Winston, so expect to see plenty of shots taken downfield with Jackson. He should be a strong fantasy WR3 candidate.

WAS WR DeSean Jackson - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Giants
It was another big fantasy day for DeSean Jackson owners last week, as he finished with five catches for 114 yards on seven targets. Jackson now has three-straight games with 100-plus yard receiving and four in his last five, so he enters Week 17 red-hot in terms of producing fantasy points.

Jackson has also played well against the Giants his career, and as recent as his last two games, where he's had a TD in each of those contests. Jackson is ranked 11th this week on our WR list. While the Giants are 15th in allowing fantasy points to WRs and have a very good revamped secondary, the G-men don't have anything to play for this week, while a playoff berth is on the line for Washington. This may be as high as you'll see Jackson ranked, and he comes in as a low-end WR1 play.

WAS WR DeSean Jackson - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

DeSean Jackson had a nice day last week against the Panthers. He caught seven balls for 111 yards on 10 targets. The 10 targets match a season high from Week 1 and the seven catches are his highest of the season.

Jackson now has back-to-back games of 100 yards or more. In his last five games he has either at least 51 receiving yards or a TD so he's been pretty productive. He gets a nice ranking this week coming in at 20th. The Bears are 21st in allowing fantasy points to WRs, however Jackson has struggled his last two games against Chicago with a 3-26-0 average in that span. Jackson is a solid WR2 play according to our rankings and the good news is he seems to be on one of his hot streaks.

WAS WR DeSean Jackson - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Carolina
DeSean Jackson had a nice day against his old team last week, burning them for another big play TD and finishing with three catches for 102 yards with his fourth TD of the season.

Jackson has three TDs over his last four weeks, including two 100-yard performances in that span. In the other two games, he's had at least 50 yards, so we seem to see Jackson on a bit of a hot streak right now. That may continue this week against the Panthers, who are just 28th in allowing fantasy points to WRs. Jackson is ranked 19th on our wide receiver list and seems like a solid play

WAS WR DeSean Jackson - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Philadelphia
After showing signs of life with back to back games with TD, Jackson caught just one ball last week against the Cardinals. It did go for 59 yards, but he was only targeted four times in total.

Jackson has been up and down this year, which is certainly nothing new for his fantasy owners. He's been a boom or bust player most weeks, so playing him as a low-end WR3 (which is where he's ranked this week) is probably a good move. He's had some success against his old team in the past, but Jackson has really only been average the last two times these teams met (8-100-0 line over two games). The Eagles are 25th in allowing fantasy points to WRs, so it's a good matchup at least.
