DeSean Jackson, WR
DeSean Jackson was the top offensive performer for the Redskins in 2014. He was effective and explosive whether Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins or Colt McCoy was at QB. Jackson led the team with a 20.9 ypc average and 6 TDs.
Jackson had a good game vs his former team the Eagles with 4 catches for 126 yards. Griffin III was able to connect with Jackson twice on deep passes that keyed TD drives in the upset over Philadelphia. Jackson finished the game with an excellent 1.07 rating vs the Eagles.

Jackson started off the next week vs Dallas with a bang. He had a 69 yard TD on a WR screen on the Redskins third play from scrimmage. He was kept quiet for the rest of the game as he managed only one more catch for 17 yards.
Jackson is a dynamic play maker and one of the top deep threats in the NFL. He also can be contained if the opponent is willing to devote the coverage needed to stop him. Jackson took some plays off in the second half vs the Cowboys and finished with a 0.89 rating.
