DeSean Jackson 2021 Outlook
After playing in at least nine games in each of his first 11 years, Jackson was limited to a combined eight appearances over the last two seasons with the Eagles due to numerous injuries. Philly decided to part ways with him this offseason, and Los Angeles pounced. With Matthew Stafford taking over under center, the Rams now boast a trio of receivers that cater to the gunslinger's big arm. Sean McVay, Jackson's offensive coordinator during his three-year tenure in Washington, reached out personally to the former Pro Bowler with the intention of adding proven speed for Stafford. Jackson joins a receiving corps that includes Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson, a group that has lacked a true deep-threat receiver since Brandin Cooks departed after the 2019 season. Jackson can still provide a big field-stretching boost to L.A.'s offense, as long as he stays healthy. Of course, that’s a big “if”. As NBCSports' Peter King put it, "I think if the Rams get eight games out of Jackson they'll be lucky. But he has the speed to make a few plays in those eight games, and to run down a couple of Stafford rainbows. I'm just saying, be realistic." Fantasy managers would be wise to remember King's words.
