Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is listed as questionable for the team's Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants. Jackson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will likely be a game-time decision for the prime-time Thursday Night Football game. Jackson has played in all three games thus far, and had his biggest game yet in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
DeSean Jackson questionable for Thursday; fantasy owners should worry
Jackson is listed as questionable for Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

In that game, Jackson caught five passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, though he was targeted 11 times. It was a huge game in comparison to the first two, in which he caught nine passes for 81 yards and no scores combined. But the possibility of missing Thursday’s game is very real. That would be a shame, as the Giants are particularly poor at defending the pass, or at least they have been through three games.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson is one of the best fantasy options available on any given week, but his status as questionable is definitely noteworthy. Most expect that he’ll be able to suit up and play, but anything can happen. Fantasy owners should watch for any breaking news prior to kickoff. If he can’t go, fantasy owners are probably better off looking elsewhere than the Washington depth chart.
