Cleared for takeoff: 2019 Philadelphia Eagles Fantasy football preview
WRs continued: (DeSean Jackson)
DeSean Jackson: (2018 Stats: 774 Rec Yds/4 TD’s)
The prodigal son has returned! The announcement of DeSean Jackson‘s return to Philadelphia was greeted with a chorus of applause & praise. People all across the Delaware valley have dusted off their old #10 jersey’s, and they’re amped up to see the speedy receiver take flight in Eagles green once again this year.
What is his value in Fantasy though? Depending on what format you’re drafting in (standard/PPR), Jackson could easily be one of the best FLEX receiving options in fantasy football this season. His track record with ‘The Birds’ is as good as gold (32 of his career touchdowns were scored with the Eagles).
that number accounts for 60 percent of his career scores. In six seasons with the Eagles, Jackson finished with over 900 receiving yards in five of them, topping the 1,000-yard mark in three of those years.
His skill set seemingly hasn’t faded at all in the five years that he’s been gone, and he will represent something that Carson Wentz hasn’t had in his first three years in the league, a legitimate deep threat. Jackson isn’t going to be a weekly 8-10 catch option for you, but he will be a ticking time bomb on your roster capable of exploding for over 100 yards & multiple TDs on just a handful of opportunities.
At an average draft position in the middle of the 10th round in most drafts, Jackson is a certified value pick that will make your opponent sweat.
