Is anybody starting him? Is that crazy talk? I had given a thought to putting him in a flex spot. If I did, he would be taking 1 of 2 spots:

Jarvis Landry vs. Baltimore
DeSean Jackson vs. Washington

What is the argument for starting him over those two?

DeSean Jackson vs. Washington



dude is oozing upside this week.

quote:

With Jalen Reagor (shoulder) likely out and Alshon Jeffery coming back off a foot injury, the Eagles will need to rely on Jackson early this year. And luckily for us, this is a perfect matchup for him to exploit. Washington allowed the 11th-most PPR points to boundary receivers last year and the 9th-most explosive plays in the passing game last year. There is no way Fabian Moreau or Ronald Darby can keep up with D-Jax deep.


Fabian Moreau, Fuller, and Darby have a chance to get torched this week. Jackson should see targets considering he's all they really have on the boundry.

quote:

Both starting CBs, Kendall Fuller and Fabian Moreau, are banged up, forcing Ron Rivera to keep six cornerbacks on their 53-man roster.


quote:

Ronald Darby (allowed the third-most yards on deep targets last season)


quote:

Fuller and/or Moreau take the field, they are both embarrassing liabilities at defending deep targets (both tied for the 10th-highest completion percentage on 20-plus targets)


Im playing upside here and starting Jackson.

I don't know that there is one, except that he's going to be a freak in the slot.

Yea I saw that I would still play Jackson just for the possible ceiling.

Plus it might be the only game you get to play desean Jackson all season given his recent injury luck

I think he went off week 1 last year then popped up on the injury report and the. Never saw him again

It's gonna be a whacky season. I definitely chose the wrong year to return to fantasy football.

Have no idea if my team is going to be worth a shite.

I’d go here. Alshon out, Reagor not 100% if he plays, and DJax supposedly as fast as ever per reports.

Gut says Jeudy will be a beast this season. I’m admittedly biased, but on the other end I saw every snap of his college career. If anyone’s game translates to the modern NFL it’s his. He’s got 10 year vets calling him the best route runner they’ve seen. I think he ends up being the safety blanket for Lock because he’s going to consistently get open, and he’s going to get open in short areas, ie the goal line.. Having said all that, I still need to see it first before he goes into my flex spot over Mostert or AJ Brown.

It’s not crazy starting him over either of the guys you mentioned though. Landry has a brutal matchup and is surrounded by a lot of weapons. Djax is old and always boom or bust anyway. It’s fantasy football, use your gut. It’ll also give you a rooting interest and semblance of hope going into the final game of the weekend.

If you're looking for upside in the Flex, you go DJax. He is capable of dropping 30 points this week. If you're looking for a safe floor, flip a coin between Jeudy and Landry.

I'm already starting 2 rookies this week. I'm pretty loaded at WR, but I still think I may wait 1 more week.

I drafted Jeudy because I think I may be able to trade him for an RB2 in a few weeks.

This.

Don't trust him weekly but if there was ever a week to roll the dice with him, it's probably this one.
