While wide receiver DeSean Jackson left Sunday's game early for Washington, Pierre Garcon was merely a non-factor. The two combined for two catches and 31 yards in Washington's 41-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson offer nothing for fantasy
One wide receiver got hurt, but neither one had much to do with Washington’s big win Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jackson left in the first quarter with what has been reported as a bruised shoulder. He had one catch in the game for 19 yards. Garcon, meanwhile, stayed healthy, but caught just one pass for 12 yards. He was targeted only four times.
Fantasy impact: After quarterback Robert Griffin III left the game with an ankle injury, backup Kirk Cousins finished the game. He both looked for and connected with receivers Andre Roberts and Ryan Grant and tight end Niles Paul far more often than he did with the team's supposed No. 1, Garcon. The two receivers had 57 yards apiece, and Paul went for 99 yards and a touchdown.
More about Jackson’s injury will likely come down Monday. Regardless of whether he misses time, Garcon will likely get more looks going forward than he did Sunday.
