Washington is listing DeSean Jackson as questionable vs. the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.

Jackson is still dealing with a shoulder injury that has been bothering him for most of the regular season. It has cost him just one game, but it has clearly limited his production, which has 2016 on pace to be one of Jackson’s worst seasons in his nine-year career.

In nine games, the veteran wide receiver has caught 34 passes for 467 yards and two scores. He is coming off one of his best games of the season when he caught four balls for 51 yards and one score.

Fantasy Impact: If Jackson is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 39th-ranked receiver in Week 12. He would face a Dallas defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

Even if Jackson is active, keep him benched this week. He is too risky to treat like a regular fantasy starter anymore.
