You need to really sit back and think if that's the tone you want to take with grown men. Because I'd rather the thread be locked and start a new one than kowtow to that bull#### tone.

The people in this forum do not want to wade into the cess pool to talk about this.
Your needed if two or more people start going back and forth in an uncivilized manner.
Sometimes the shark pool does go off topic but we are talking about a football player(s).

Good write up by Roob on Lurie's decision:
I’ve heard everything from the Eagles were too hard on Jackson all the way to they let him off too easy. Very difficult situation. No easy answer, and I'm sure Lurie struggled with his response. Honestly, I think he got it right. Nobody benefits from just cutting him. And nobody learns a thing if there’s just a fine.
I wrote when this first happened: “DeSean simply can’t be allowed to put on an Eagles uniform again until he displays a true understanding of why his posts were so incredibly hateful and harmful,” and that’s exactly the route the Eagles took, and I believe Jackson is on his way toward doing just that. And if not? He's gone.
I give the Eagles a tremendous amount of credit for their restraint, because I would guess Lurie’s initial reaction was 'outta here'. But Lurie has never been one to make rash decisions. He genuinely wants his players — and all his employees — to have every opportunity to constantly evolve and learn and grow. And honestly, that’s what we should all want.

Might sound homerish, but I am projecting 13 games played: 1100 yards and 8 scores. Carson Wentz (and I cannot emphasize this enough) *loves* Desean Jackson as football player. The chemistry was obvious last year in practice and week 1. Sure he missed all the other 15 games, which was more due to indecision to get surgery rather than it being a real big injury - still hasn't had any major injuries during his NFL career, just small, nagging things other than when Dunta Robinson almost took his head off. Reagor is out first week or 3. *Who else is there* is a reasonable question, other than the tight ends.

DeSean kills Washington, whether he's facing them or whether he's on the team.
Good daily fantasy play.

I'm starting a new keeper league this year with mostly Eagles fans so it's gonna be hard to get him really late

DJ is the cheapest high reward vet wr on my dyno radar.
Trying to flip him for Fitzgerald to a team that needs a consistent wide receiver

Starting him week 1 over injured Evans & P. Williams
Yea i tried to draft him in every league. Seems like a great start early on in the season. If he stays healthy he could easily be the Top WR for Eagles. Reports are Wentz loves him. If he gets hurt oh well, you had a starter with BOOM potential early in the season when things are harder to predict.

Pretty much. Did the same last year too, in dynasty as well. Had to hold him over on those teams, but redraft the value is stupid, still. This seems to me (biased of course) the correct play.

He just can't do it any more, get him off your roster. Look at his production the last 3-4 years its awful

Let's discuss DeSean Jackson because the sizzle/bark/hype way outkicks the production of what you have been getting of late. He's almost 34 yrs old and has a medical chart that could rival the Six Million Dollar Man. In his career spanning now into 13 seasons he has only ever played in 16 games one time.
His days in Tampa Bay were mild and he hasn't been able to get on to the field in Philly, if you look at his stats over the last 4 seasons he has been going down hill.
It's time to simply cut the cord. I'm sure he will have a game or two of decent production at some point but you will never have a solid starter at this point with Jackson.

Exactly. He will come back in a few weeks and bust off an 89 yard td and then disappear again the rest of the year.

I’m rolling him out in at least one league where I’m razor thin at WR. Desperation is a stinky cologne.
That said, the targets should be there, he’s still a big play guy, and the schedule is a cakewalk fantasy wise over the next 4-6 weeks. DJax is oft-injured, but when healthy, is still productive.

Agree that he’s not a volume guy, but considering the weapons that Philly is without, I would expect DJax to at least get his average targets, if not more.
