DeSean Jackson not expected to play for Washington Week 7

Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is not expected to play in Week 7, according to Britt McHenry of ESPN.

What It Means:

Jackson was set to make his return in Week 6, but he suffered a setback with in practice, forcing him to sit yet again. His absence will mean continued target volume for both Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder.

Both receivers are in a good spot for Week 7 as they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers rank 27th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. Neither Crowder nor Garcon has been overly efficient -- ranking 51st and 53rd respectively in Reception NEP per target out of 63 wide receivers with at least 25 targets -- but the volume until Jackson's return makes them options in fantasy.
