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.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle), tight ends Dallas Goedert (calf) and Richard Rodgers (ankle), defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (neck) and defensive end Derek Barnett (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson returned from Injured Reserve last week and caught his only target for an 81-yard touchdown. But he played just 20 snaps on the day and should not be trusted in Week 17 in a tougher matchup with Washington. Goedert caught just three passes for 38 yards last week and was injured late in the game. He's caught 46 passes for 524 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games in 2020 and will be a low-end TE1 if he plays, but keep an eye on his status throughout the week. If he cannot play, Zach Ertz will have a much bigger role and will be a TE1. Philly's defense should be seen as a top-10 fantasy unit this week, especially if Washington quarterback Alex Smith (calf) and top receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) cannot play.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson was only targeted once in a Week 16 loss, but he made it count, catching an 81-yard touchdown. Jackson wasn't on the field much and was only looked at on that one pass play, but the long touchdown must have made a difference somewhere in some fantasy league where Jackson was in a starting lineup for an inexplicable reason. While he may have a larger role in Week 17, a tough Washington defense awaits him.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will return to the field for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Jackson has played just once since Week 3, having logged 13 receptions for 155 yards across his four contests in 2020. His addition to the passing game gives rookie quarterbackJalen Hurts yet another target, muddying the waters for fantasy managers eyeing strong performances from rookieJalen Reagor, Greg Wardand Alshon Jeffery during season-long championship week. That level of competition at WR and Jackson's injury history likely keeps Jackson from being a factor in season-long leagues, but he could be worth a dice roll as a boom-or-bust DFS play.

The Philadelphia Eagles are opening the 21-day practice window for wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) on Monday, according to a source. Jackson is currently on Injured Reserve but is trying to return before the end of the season. The oft-injured deep threat hasn't played since Week 7 and is a long shot to return any kind of fantasy value, even if your league plays through Week 17. The 34-year-old is trying to return from a high-ankle sprain and should remain on the waiver wire in most single-year formats after catching 13 passes on 25 targets for 155 scoreless yards in four games in 2020. D-Jax was injured last year as well and played in just three games in his first year back in Philly. Even if Jackson returns for one of the final two regular season games, he'd likely have a limited role behind rookie Jalen Reagor, Alshon Jeffery, Greg Ward Jr., Travis Fulgham and rookie Quez Watkins.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve. Jackson suffered a high ankle sprain in the team's 22-21 win over the New York Giants this past Thursday and the move to Injured Reserve was expected. Jackson caught three passes for 34 yards on five targets before leaving the game. With Jackson out, the Eagles will lean even more heavily on Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward Jr. and John Hightower. The team could also get Alshon Jeffery (foot) back soon and they activated rookie Jalen Reagor (thumb) from Injured Reserve on Monday, so he will return soon as well.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (leg) had to be helped off the field late in the fourth quarter of the Thursday night game against the Giants after suffering an apparent leg injury on a punt return. Jackson just has not been able to stay healthy the last two years with Philadelphia. He was finally active on Thursday after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury, and it looks like he'll be missing more time moving forward. D-Jax ran the ball once for 12 yards and caught three of his five targets for 34 yards before leaving with his injury. He's been a disappointment when active, considering how many offensive pieces the Eagles have been missing due to injury. Fantasy managers should prepare for Jackson to miss Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is set to return to the field in Week 7 against the New York Giants. Jackson has been limited to three games so far this season, catching 10 passes for 121 yards on 20 targets. He'll likely be looked at as the team's top receiving threat, which could be an issue facing off the Giants and defensive back James Bradberry. The potential matchup with Bradberry combined with the general struggles of the Eagles offense and Jackson's ever-present risk of re-injury make him just a WR5 in this one.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that he anticipates both wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) playing on Thursday night against the Giants. Neither Jackson nor Johnson were on the team's final injury report for Thursday night. Jackson has missed the last three games and has been limited in practice so far this week. Even against a beatable New York secondary, D-Jax is a risky boom/bust WR4/flex option at risk of re-injury. His return to the lineup could also make things more difficult for Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward and rookie John Hightower in the receiving pecking order, depending on how many snaps Jackson actually plays in his return. Johnson's return would be great news for quarterback Carson Wentz and running back Boston Scott.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) were both listed as limited practice participants Monday ahead of Thursdays contest versus the Giants. Both receivers were out of the equation Sunday against Baltimore, with Jackson already expected to suit up come Thursday. As for Jeffery, he would be making his season debut after working his way back from a Lisfranc injury. Having either back in the mix would be a boon for Carson Wentz, who will be without Zach Ertz (ankle) for the foreseeable future. Travis Fulgham has become a breakout fantasy sensation over the past three weeks, and while his stock would take a dip with Jeffery or Jackson back, any of the three are season-long options against a shaky Giants secondary.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) may be out for Sundays contest versus Baltimore, but he is apparently close enough to action that he is expected to return for Thursdays game against the Giants. Jacksons return will be a welcome addition for a wide-receiving corps that will rely on Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham against the Ravens. Throughout his career, Jackson has made numerous stellar plays against New York and figures to be an appealing flex play for those who are banking on his hamstring having healed up since he last appeared back in Week 3. The Giants secondary has been much-maligned this season, which sets Jackson up nicely for a single-game DFS look, as well.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Jeffery has yet to play in 2020, but he's been limited in practices the last couple weeks and could make his debut in Week 7. Jackson will miss his third straight game and has developed a reputation for being a slow healer. The speedy deep threat didn't take advantage of the team being banged up at the position when he was on the field to begin the year, making him droppable in shallow leagues. Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham, who exploded for 152 yards and a touchdown last week, should continue to see increased usage. There's flex appeal in deeper leagues, but temper expectations against a stingy Ravens Defense.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic about wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) making his return in Week 6 against the Ravens. Jackson has been limited in practice this week, but he's on track to return after missing the last two games. Even if the oft-injured deep threat returns on Sunday, he'll be hard to trust against a strong Ravens Defense in an Eagles offense that just hasn't clicked all year. If Jackson and Alshon Jeffery (foot) return this week, it'll be bad news for Greg Ward, Travis Fulgham and rookie John Hightower. If active, Jackson will be an even riskier boom/bust WR4/5 in deeper fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could return to the field in Week 6. He seemed to be trending toward a return in Week 5, getting in a series of limited practices, but was ultimately inactive. Barring any setbacks, he could get back on the field for a Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. It'll be a tough welcome back, and Jackson is always at risk for re-injury or maybe even a new one. He's a desperation play in deep leagues, but is best left on the bench even if active. He's appeared in three games this season, catching 10 passes for 121 scoreless yards.

The Philadelphia Eagles offense is still in poor shape, as they are without Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson once again. Tight end Hakeem Butler -- a college wide receiver -- is inactive as well. So, it looks like another week for Greg Ward to serve as the team's primary wide receiver. Ward's a solid WR3 play this week with upside due to his projected target share.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Steelers. Cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle) is also out. With rookie Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve, the Eagles are really hurting for pass-catchers. Greg Ward Jr. and rookie John Hightower figure to be the team's top two wideouts this Sunday, making quarterback Carson Wentz an easy fade as a QB1. Pittsburgh has actually allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to receivers in three games, but there's just not much to like here with Philly and their out-of-sync offense. At best, Ward is a flex consideration in deeper leagues, but the bar shouldn't be set very high. Jeffery is getting closer to making his season debut, while the oft-injured D-Jax is heading in the opposite direction, missing the last two games. Jackson can be dropped in standard-sized leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and will likely be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will be way too risky to start in most formats even if he gets the go-ahead from the Eagles medical team. The Eagles passing game has been struggling in general this season, and this week they get a Steelers Defense that consistently pressures opposing quarterbacks. Besides all that, Jackson will be at risk of re-injuring his hamstring. For a player that relies on speed and deep routes, the combination of a hamstring injury and a quarterback who will likely need to get rid of the ball quickly makes for a zero-floor outlook.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) have both been ruled out for Sunday night against the 49ers. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf) is also listed as doubtful. The oft-injured Jackson has failed to impress in an offense missing Jeffery and rookie Jalen Reagor (thumb), making him droppable in standard-sized redraft leagues. Jeffery is close to making his season debut, so he may be worth an add if he's available in your league. Greg Ward Jr. and rookie John Hightower will be the team's top two receivers on Sunday night, but Ward being a sleeper flex play in deeper leagues. Tight end Zach Ertz should also be heavily targeted with Dallas Goedert (ankle) on Injured Reserve.
