Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson is expected to sit Week 11's contest with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Vincent Jackson expected to sit for Buccaneers, per report; fantasy owners need backup options again
The Buccaneers’ veteran wideout is expected to sit his fourth consecutive week due to a knee injury. We break down the fantasy implications.


Jackson injured his knee during Week 7's loss to Washington and hasn't taken the field since. As a result, Mike Evans remains the centerpiece of the receiving game and barely has any complementary help with Austin Seferian-Jenkins being out of action since Week 3. Donteea Dye will start once again in Jackson's place in the lineup.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners with Evans can take comfort in knowing he’ll be heavily targeted once again, but with that comes extra attention from opposing defenses. Evans has the talent to capitalize despite that, and the Eagles defensive unit will have its hands full.
Dye isn’t a viable fantasy option despite Jackson’s absence, although Seferian-Jenkins could take several targets himself if he is cleared to play. For now, Jackson’s owners have to continue to play the waiting game until he is cleared.
