Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson's availability for Week 15 is uncertain, according to Liz Clarke of The Washington Post.
DeSean Jackson non-committal on Week 15 status, per report; fantasy status remains unknown
Washington could be without its deep-threat receiver on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jackson injured his knee during Sunday's victory over the Chicago Bears, but did not exit a game that would have bounced Washington from first place in the NFC East had they lost. Though he was able to stay in the game, Jackson finished with just 29 yards on two catches in a game where Kirk Cousins threw for 300 yards.
Fantasy impact: It is difficult to tell so early in the week if Jackson will be ready in time for Sunday's home finale against the Buffalo Bills, and the receiver said himself that he would need treatment, according to Clarke's report. A healthy Jackson will always present upside due to his penchant for big plays, but he will also provide downside because of the low-percentage nature of deep completions. Jordan Reed remains Cousins' primary target, and would get another huge share of the targets if Jackson sits.
Jackson would be a boom-or-bust WR3 if he suits up on Sunday at his usual capacity, but should be left on benches if he is far from 100 percent. In the meantime, fantasy owners will have to check practice reports throughout the week.
