A knee injury has kept Jackson out of commission in recent weeks. He was able to practice on Thursday and Friday, but the Buccaneers have been extremely cautious with players returning from injury. Jackson’s active status is a solid endorsement of his health.
Fantasy impact: Jackson has missed three games now and allowed Mike Evans to steal the show as the No. 1 target for Jameis Winston. The Eagles allow the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Evans is a must-start, and Jackson is worthy of your WR3/flex spot for this week.
The Bucs are still missing starting tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, but Winston at least has another huge target back with Jackson in the mix. Expect big numbers from both sides in this one.
