DeSean Jackson

Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson (calf) is active for Sunday’s game against Washington. He had been listed as questionable.

Fantasy Impact

Through three games with the Raiders, Jackson has caught four passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, though the majority of his volume came against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Jackson's big-play upside makes him a worthy FLEX play in deeper leagues this week, but fantasy managers should opt for a safer option if possible.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Raiders WR DeSean Jackson (calf) is expected to play in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson is in line to play against the Football Team barring any setbacks in pregame. Insert revenge game narrative here. While Jackson has been quiet this season, he got going last week against the Cowboys, flexing his big-play upside with an over-the-top score. Getting a Football Team secondary that has struggled to stop the pass all season, Jackson is a volatile Flex option in Week 13 with a high ceiling but low floor.

Raiders WR DeSean Jackson is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Football Team due to a calf injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson returned to practice on a limited basis and appears to be trending in the right direction. He has an enticing matchup against a WFT D/ST that's been susceptible to the pass all season long. Jackson makes for a great DFS play with his boom potential but is hard to rely on as a starter in standard formats.

Raiders WR DeSean Jackson (calf) returns to practice on Friday ahead of Sunday's Week 13 game vs the Washington Football Team.

Fantasy Impact

After logging a did not practice (DNP) designation on Thursday, the veteran wideout's return to practice today is quite good news. While Jackson should not be considered anything more than a boom-or-bust WR4 option for fantasy managers, the Washington Football Team has allowed the second-most points to opposing WRs this season. Those in deeper league formats should have Jackson available to them as his health is seemingly improving.

DeSean Jackson (calf) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday in drills.

Fantasy Impact

This is situation to monitor over the coming days. A DNP after a limited practice is usually never a good sign. He is questionable for Week 13 against Washington as of right now.
