DeSean Jackson (WR, PHI) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

4 years ago by Antonio Losada

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall

CURRENT ADP: ~163

ANALYSIS: Jackson was a steal already in April. He was once more in May, then June, then July. And now, in August and with the draft-season getting to its climax, D-Jax is still a steal even with the steady bumps up in his ADP. Jackson's projection of 153 PPR points for the 2020 season has gone up after factoring in Marquise Goodwin's opt-out. The veteran's ROI has gotten better since the last time we went over it. It all comes down to this: injured players from the prior season make fantasy GMs forget about them, and even though they are slowly catching up with the rest of us smart fantasy GMs, they are still way down on D-Jax.

DeSean Jackson could only be a part of three games in 2019, but even with that, he averaged 12.3 PPG and racked up 159 yards and a couple of touchdowns. You know the Cal product by now: blink and you'll miss him getting open downfield. Jackson is a burner, deep threat, and one of the best definitions of boom/bust players weekly due to his type of game.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't draft him. He's played at least 10 games every season except the previous one, and the last time he missed more than six games was all the way back in 2015. He's a perennial 150-PPR yearly scorer living in the 10-to-12 PPG clip week to week. This wideout is a clear target in my draft-day sheet and only the WR62 off the board these days while still projecting as a top-50 WR on the 2020 season. That, folks, is what I call a great value.
