Desean Jackson done for the year (1 Viewer)

[munygon2]

Eagles placed DeSean Jackson (ribs) on injured reserve, ending his season.

wow. bummer.

Damaris Johnson bump?

 

[Banger]

another bust of a year for Jackson. Seems like a one trick pony to a large extent and teams have done a better job of not letting him streak down the sidelines.

Or Maclin, but they aren't getting the ball anywhere with Foles.

It makes you wonder if Shady might not soon follow.

They're playing out the string. They should play the young guys to get some experience and game film for the next coach to evaluate. No need to rush any of the vets back.

This is not entirely true for 2012; your perception matches his career prior to the current season. This year until Foles took over, he was much more consistent than in past years, and saw an increase in targets.In his first three seasons, he had 5, 6 and 6 games under 40 yards. This year - one through Week 10. Only 2-5 in Foles first start off 9 targets, and hurt early in Sunday's game.Targets wise, he average 7.6, 7.8 and 6.9. This year he had 87 through 10 games.Only 2 TDs this year, and it's true he isn't much of a RZ threat - his game is predicated on busting long TDs, which is variable. But this was his best season in terms of running crisp routes and getting consistent production sans the scoring plays.

I think what probably happened was that teams weren't giving him the big over the top plays so he got more targets a little more week to week consistency running the shorter underneath plays but on the downside he didn't have even one blow up week like he had in the past. At the end of the day despite more consistency and targets this year he was projecting at around 1,050 yards compared to his prior year totals of 961, 1056, 1167, and 962. He missed time in most of those years so his numbers receiving wise have been nearly the same, the only difference is the tds and with a high on 9 in 5 years with 6, 4, 2 and 2 in the other years there's not a lot there to like.

Yeah, I hear ya, still not great production no matter how you slice it. However, what I like about him going forward (for redrafts only) is he was a decent value this year as a 6th rounder (ADP was around 65), and I suspect next year he'll be a good value as your WR3 because I expect his ADP to be around 75-80.If he falls far enough he'll be a good VBD pick in the 7th/8th round next summer. Sure he has warts, etc, but too often people waive their hand and write off a guy who still has value.

Considering how he played last year, this year, and how bad the Eagles have been he's probably ecstatic to sit on the couch the rest of the season and collect a paycheck. Desean Jackson doesn't want to play football, he want's to get paid.

 

[Please See Mine]

Sucks for him, but could be interesting FF-wise. Eagles have the 3rd-best schedule for WR for weeks 14-16.

I suppose that Johnson is in line to get more (now that he is out of the doghouse), but Cooper could also get some increased work.

This is the time of year guys like to nurse injuries if they are on a losing squad. No point in him being out there if his QB is going to get him killed over the middle.

Well, I owned him in a PPR and thought he kinda sucked. Pedestrian at best.

Shame Reid won't care. *looks back at McCoy running the ball with under 2 minutes left in the 4th when down 25 and Reid said he was in to try and win the game*

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Owned him last 2 years. Last year's up and down erratic mostly non-production was the last straw. Went on my "do not draft" list this year. Out of morbid curiosity I checked my MFL to see what teams owned Desean. In all 3 leagues he's owned by also-ran franchises out of the playoff race. Not surprising in the least.

 

[delusional]

People expected #1 type numbers from him but honestly, he is a gimmicky WR. This year he was doing well considering though ( not in FF terms but in football itself ). They could have had a great pair of WRs in DJax and Maclin but Maclin is not looking like a 1st rounder at all. Just...nothing special there

This year? I don't think anybody taking him in the 6th round of 12 teamer was thinking that way.I took Jordy as my #2 and took DeSean/Torrey back to back in the 6th/7th. I must have picked good matchups this year I don't remember him giving me a bad game. Granted, he never had a monster game like he has in the past.

Anyway, I'll take him next year, because I think off a perceived disappointing year he's a good guy to grab as your 4th wideout. If his ADP is inside of 80 I'll look elsewhere.

 

[BobbyLayne]

According to my team log I started him 7 times and he averaged 14.94 per start. I thought it was decent value.

I guess if you thought he was a WR2 with upside, then yeah, pretty disappointing. But he's been on my bench 4 weeks plus his bye so I guess my expectations were low.
