DeSean Jackson, WR, Washington Redskins

Out of action since Week 1, DeSean Jackson is expected to return to the field this week.

Rarely someone you would consider a sleeper over the course of his career, the speedy wide receiver is still a bit of a question mark in Week 9 because of the Patriots' affinity to game plan against their opponent's best offensive weapon.

However, Washington will travel to New England this week and are heavy underdogs in a game featuring the highest over/under of the week. New England has been very solid against the pass this season -- they currently rank 10th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play -- but have given up lots of fantasy production to wide receivers -- third most in the league -- due to jumping out to leads against teams.

In a game that should see Washington playing from behind, Jackson will be given plenty of chances to make a big play this week, even if the Pats key on him.
