With the dressing down DeSean got from Andy Reid after the Eagles loss to the Bears last Sunday one would think he might be a risky play this Thursday after the short recovery week. Lets look at DeSeans history though.
1) DeSean loves prime time games. Last year Jackson caught 18 passes for 383 yards and scored five total touchdownsin his 4 prime time matchups. This year we saw the 88 yarder on the first play against the 'Skins. Although he did lay an egg against the Niners on a Sunday night.
2) Jackson tends to follow up bad games with explosive performances. After opening the season with a 4/30 performance he exploded for 4/135/1 the next week. And after the SF game mentioned above he scored a rushing and receiving TD in the first quarter before going out with his concussion.
3) Houston may have the worst pass defense in the history of football.
So, if you are considering benching DeSean you may want to reconsider, he could just explode again for 30 or so fantasy point this week.
