DeSean Jackson Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is not expected to play again in the 2019 season. Jackson will undergo surgery to repair a core muscle on Tuesday. It usually comes with a 4-6 week recovery at minimum, leaving Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor as the top wide receiving options for the Eagles for the remainder of the season. Mack Hollins will be a distant third wide receiver, but tight end Dallas Goedert has essentially filled that role. It's a blow to an Eagles offense that has become quite predictable and is generally unable to make any deep connections.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) left the Week 9 game against the Bears early in the game after feeling discomfort on his four snaps. Jackson is undergoing second and third opinions, and Pederson isn't speculating on Jackson's availability coming out of the Week 10 bye against the Patriots in Week 11. While the setback isn't believed to be serious, the Eagles won't know until they get the test results back. For a player known to be a slow healer, there should be no guarantee that D-Jax will be ready for Week 11. If he does play in that game, he'll be a boom-or-bust WR3 against New England's secondary. Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins will see work in three-receiver sets if Jackson misses anymore time.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) aggravated his injury in Week 9 against the Bears and is questionable to return. Jackson returned for the first time since Week 2, but he had just one catch for five yards on his only target before going back to the sidelines. It's not a good sign for a player that has proven to be a slow healer. Even with a Week 10 bye, D-Jax won't be a lock to return in Week 11. As expected, his presence opened up lanes for tight end Zach Ertz, who has eight catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. Philly's offense needs Jackson on the field to reach their full potential. Mack Hollins will return to three-wide sets with Jackson out again, but he's not exciting at all in fantasy.
