DeSean Jackson

Mike Garofolo of the NFL Network is reporting that the Rams and WR DeSean Jackson reached agreement on a one-year deal Sunday.

Jackson to the Rams is official, but details of his contract are unknown at this time. Rams HC Sean McVay reportedly reached out personally to acquire the 34-year-old wide receiver. “Wanted proven speed for QB Matthew Stafford,” per Garofolo. Jackson was released by the Eagles in February after playing only eight games in his last two seasons in Philadelphia. He hauled in 14 receptions on 26 targets for 236 yards and one touchdown across five contests for the Eagles in 2020. Jackson gives the Rams a deep threat and will compete with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson for targets in LA’s passing game in 2021.

Jackson was officially released by the Eagles on Friday. Philadelphia can save around $6 million towards the salary cap by waiving the wide receiver. Jackson still wants to play and will look to latch onto another team during the offseason. The 34–year-old hauled in 14 receptions on 26 targets for 236 yards and one touchdown across five games for the Eagles in 2020.

The Eagles have ruled out WR DeSean Jackson for Week 17 with an ankle injury.

Jackson caught a long touchdown pass last week in his first action since Week 7 but has now been ruled out for Week 17 with an ankle injury. Jackson just hasn't been able to stay on the field for the last two seasons in Philadelphia. In his absence and with teammate Dallas Goedert ruled out, Fantasy managers can expect Alshon Jeffrey and Zach Ertz to see a ton of targets against the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught his only target for an 81-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson returned to the field after missing the team's last seven games with leg and ankle injuries and made an immediate impact. However, he only played 20 snaps and was reportedly sore late in the game. And with the Eagles playing in a meaningless Week 17 game against Washington next week, it's unlikely Jackson will see significant work.

The Eagles are activating WR DeSean Jackson (ankle) from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson was able to return to practice this week and he'll be a full-go for Sunday's Week 16 game against the Cowboys. His downfield speed should help open up the Eagles' offense as a whole, though he can't really be trusted in fantasy lineups for those in season-long leagues.
