Washington is listing DeSean Jackson as doubtful to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10.

Jackson continues to be plagued by a shoulder injury that has not cost him any games so far, though it has limited his production. In Week 9 vs. a bad Cincinnati Bengals secondary, Jackson caught only three passes for 48 yards.

He also appeared to aggravate his shoulder issue on a catch he made in the second half, which sidelined him for the rest of the contest. In eight games this season, the veteran receiver has 30 catches for 416 yards and one score.

Jackson is barely worth rostering in any fantasy league, let alone starting.

Fantasy Impact: Even if he is somehow healthy enough to play in this game, Jackson is a bad play against a Vikings secondary allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Keep him on the bench this week.
