DeSean Jackson Fantasy

The Los Angeles Rams agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson on Sunday. He will fill a much-needed role as a deep threat in on offense that now features quarterback Matthew Stafford. Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowler, has the most 60-plus-yard touchdowns (24) in NFL history. The 34-year-old is entering his 13th NFL season and ranks sixth all time in yards per catch (17.4). Jackson will reunite with head coach Sean McVay, who served as his offensive coordinator for three years in Washington. Jackson is a proven speedy deep threat, but he'll be competing for targets amongst Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson and Tyler Higbee, and he's been extremely injury-prone in recent seasons. Jackson played in just three games in 2019 due to a core muscle injury and missed 11 games in 2020 with an ankle injury.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson announced that he will be released on his Instagram on Friday. Jackson was due $9 million in non-guaranteed salary for the 2021 season. The speedy yet oft-injured deep threat said that he still wants to play at the age of 34. Jackson's second stint with the Eagles was forgettable, as he had just 23 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns in eight games due to injuries over the last two seasons. He was brought back to be a field-stretching option for Carson Wentz (now with the Colts) in 2019, but he missed most of the season due to injury and the Eagles brought in more receiver help through the draft. The Eagles will incur $5.8 million in dead money in 2021 by releasing Jackson, while saving $4.85 million. Wherever he lands, he'll be a boom/bust deep threat as a big injury risk on top of it.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) will be inactive for the team's season finale against the Washington Football Team in Week 17. Jackson sat out practice this past week so the fact he is inactive is no surprise. He played in last week's game and caught his only target, an 81-yard touchdown reception. Alshon Jeffery and Jalen Reagor will likely be the primary targets for quarterback Jalen Hurts in a tough matchup against a strong Washington pass defense this week.
