Editor’s update: Jackson is expected to play, per Adam Schefter.

Washington is listing DeSean Jackson as questionable to face the Green Bay Packers.

Jackson is battling a shoulder injury that has plagued him for the past two months, but did not cause him to miss games until Week 10. He was listed as doubtful prior to that win over the Minnesota Vikings, so seeing him questionable is some semblance of progress.

The veteran receiver got in three limited practice sessions this week, which seems to bode well for his chances of playing on Sunday Night Football when Green Bay comes to town.

Fantasy Impact: If Jackson is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 54th-best receiver in Week 11. He would face a Packers defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

Regardless, keep Jackson on the bench, or even the waiver wire, until he shows he can make a fantasy impact this year, something he has rarely done in 2016.
