Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is listed as questionable for the team's Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury but did participate in a limited fashion on Friday. Jackson is likely a game-time decision, though Washington will also take some time to evaluate him on Saturday as well.
DeSean Jackson listed as questionable; fantasy owners should take note

It's worth noting that Jackson definitely wants to play on Sunday, given that he'll be up against his old team in the Eagles. He was released from the Eagles for reasons still unknown, but was coming off the best season of his career when it happened. Jackson is off to a relatively slow start to his season, though he didn't play the full game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact: He’s caught nine passes for 81 yards and has yet to find the end zone. Fantasy owners are itching for a big game and it’s bound to come sooner rather than later. However, it’s still unclear if he’ll play on Sunday. Washington isn’t going to put Jackson’s long-term health on the line just to get him back against the Eagles. Fantasy owners should keep an eye out for any news on Saturday.
