38)  Over the past four season, Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson has averaged 4.1 receptions, 73.1 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game over 51 contests.

39) Over that time, Jackson has played in six Monday Night Football games. In those games he’s averaged: 5.4 receptions, 115.4 receiving yards, and 0.8 touchdowns per. This spans five games.

40)  Therefore, with just one more reception per game, Jackson is averaging 62 more receiving yards and more than double the number of touchdowns per game.

41)  In Monday night’s 38-16 loss to Pittsburgh, Jackson had six catches for 102 yards.

42)  Over the last three seasons, Jackson has a combined Volatility Score of 27.3, or an average of 9.1 per season. This measures the level of week-to-week fantasy point scoring variance. Players with numbers higher than 8.0 have significant weekly output oscillation. Among top twenty wide receivers over that time period, Jackson rates as the fifth most volatile wide receiver in the league. (PlayerProfiler.com)

43) In 2016, Jackson’s Snap Share was 62.4 percent which ranked 117th among wide receivers. He also only received four Red Zone targets and had just one Red Zone reception. (Player Profiler.com)

Prediction:  DeSean Jackson continues his pattern of volatile fantasy weeks and struggles in a Week 2 intradivisional game against Dallas. Jackson finishes with less than six fantasy points, on route to roller coaster season for fantasy owners.
