Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is 100% healthy and has made a full recovery from his hamstring injury, according to the team’s official Twitter account. Jackson had just three catches for just 15 yards in his return to the lineup last week, a game Washington lost to the New England Patriots.
DeSean Jackson is fully healed, low fantasy production not due to hamstring
Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson isn’t at all bothered by his hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: When he’s healthy, Jackson is one of the most explosive and elite receivers in the NFL. Unfortunately his formerly injured and re-injured hamstring has limited the speedy wideout to just two appearances and seven total targets this season.
In Jackson’s absence, only tight end Jordan Reed has managed to provide any semblance of consistent fantasy value in Washington’s passing game. Reed too missed time earlier in the year thanks to a concussion.
In Week 10, Washington faces a New Orleans Saints team that has given up a very generous 10 touchdown passes to quarterbacks in just the last two games alone. If the Saints continue to give up points at a high clip this week, it could mean Jackson tests his hamstring out with a touchdown dance or two on Sunday.
