DeSean Jackson suffered a nasty fibula contusion Sunday but he's expected to play Week 14. We break down the fantasy implications.
Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is dealing with a leg injury and his Week 14 status might be doubt, but there is some optimism. He's still expected to play in next week's game against the St. Louis Rams even if he doesn't practice, according to Dianna Marie Russini of NBC Washington.
Jackson suffered a bruised fibula in Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He tried to play through it but ultimately went to the locker room in the third quarter. Jackson still had his usual production even with the injury, catching five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. He has a 47-942-5 stat line on the season.
Fantasy impact: Despite the optimism, Jackson should be considered questionable for next week's game. Head coach Jay Gruden isn't tipping his hand either way, saying that he doesn't know how long Jackson will be out. This will be a situation to monitor for fantasy owners, and we probably won't know more about his Week 14 status until Friday's injury report. Jackson showed some chemistry with quarterback Colt McCoy and will be a strong WR1 if healthy, but fantasy owners should have a backup plan in mind.
