Who Should I Start? DeSean Jackson or Justin Jefferson

Wednesday, November 29, 10:12 AM

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson is retiring from football after a 15-year NFL career that featured three Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection, and seven seasons of at least 900 yards receiving. The 2008 second-round pick spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens. Last season, he totaled 153 yards with Baltimore. Overall, he posted 641 receptions for 11,263 yards, and 58 receiving touchdowns. He also recorded four rushing touchdowns and four punt return touchdowns.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 11 targets for 74 yards during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jefferson was heavily targeted by quarterback Carson Wentz, who made yet another start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy (ankle). The star receiver had a relatively modest showing by his standards, finishing with fewer than 75 yards for the first time since Week 1. He remains Wentz's No. 1 target, but his upside is capped when the offense struggles to stay on the field. Jefferson will look to bounce back as a solid WR1 against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, especially if McCarthy can return from his five-game absence.
