DeSean Jackson Expected To Miss Week 6
5 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is expected to miss Week 6 against the Vikings, but he's hoping to play next week against the Cowboys, according to league sources. Jackson's current return window is believed to be between Week 7 and Week 9 against the Bears. Even when he does return, there's an expectation that he'll have to play through some pain. Philadelphia has become less explosive without D-Jax and currently rank 22nd in pass plays of 20-plus yards. With Jackson out another week, it'll remain Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins in three-wide sets. Agholor is the only fantasy option you can really trust, and he's more of a touchdown-dependent WR3 in a tough matchup with Minnesota.
