DeSean Jackson, Washington football team

DeSean Jackson SN

While Jackson isn’t poised for a breakout season, he’s in a position to benefit from the lack of options in Washington. Pass-catching back Roy Helu is no longer with the team, Niles Paul sustained a season-ending ankle injury, Jordan Reed always gets hurt and Alfred Morris isn’t a major receiving threat out of the backfield. Plus, with a declining Pierre Garcon split wide, Washington’s quarterback will regularly be looking Jackson’s way, if only because there’s no other option.
