DeSean Jackson (thumb) 'hopeful' to play for Buccaneers Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is "hopeful to play" in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys.

What It Means:

Jackson missed the past three games and is unlikely to be rushed back for a Buccaneers team that is out of the playoff chase. Chris Godwin has just 1 catch on 13 targets the past two weeks.

Jackson is averaging 11.6 FanDuel points through 11 games, with 40 receptions (70 targets) for 750 yards and 4 touchdowns.
