DeSean Jackson Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is expected to rejoin the team on the field soon if the team makes the postseason and advances to the Divisional round, according to a source. Jackson is feeling good after having core surgery, but he's not eligible to return from Injured Reserve until the second round of the playoffs. Philly must either beat the Giants in Week 17 or get a loss from the Cowboys to secure the division. Then they must win in the Divisional round, which will be a tall task with how banged up they are on offense. The 33-year-old Jackson hasn't played since Nov. 3, so it's debatable how effective he would be in the playoffs if he returned. He'd be a boom/bust DFS option as a deep threat for the Eagles if they advance that far.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) has been running, doing some light sprinting, some light cutting and catching the football, and he could return in the second round of the playoffs if the Eagles beat the Cowboys this Sunday and win the NFC East. D-Jax underwent core surgery on Nov. 5 and is roughly six weeks removed from a surgery that was expected to take six to eight weeks to recover from. It's still all very much up in the air, and the Eagles must first make the playoffs, but it's possible that Jackson could return and give Philly's offense a much-needed boost through the air. Alshon Jeffery (foot) is done for the season and Nelson Agholor (knee) is expected to miss another game this weekend. The Eagles are forced to lean on J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Robert Davis against Dallas.

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.
