BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 in PPR Leagues
CURRENT ADP: ~170
ANALYSIS: The drop in production we saw from DeSean Jackson last season was huge. In just 10 fewer targets and six fewer receptions, Jackson had 337 fewer yards and averaged a career-low in yards per reception. Some of that is likely due to Jackson losing a step as he moves into his age-32 season. His poor performance last season has seen him slip behind Chris Godwin on the Buccaneers depth chart. However, that could prove to be somewhat of a blessing.
Being the third receiver on the depth chart can have its benefits. Jackson is no longer going to be expected to be the burner down the field. Now he is more likely to take up a role in the slot where his speed can really benefit him.
If the Buccaneers can utilize Jackson properly and put him in position to run after the catch, then he could become a dangerous weapon, especially in PPR leagues. With a cheap draft day cost, he's someone to consider as a late-round bench flier in PPR leagues.
