Ok, how about another Packer vs Eagle showdown to follow up on Finley vs Celek? Yes, Greg Jennings versus Desean Jackson is a compelling fantasy football faceoff. Both of these players have the ability to catch the long ball and take it to the house for the TD. Speed and skill are in abundance here.
Greg Jennings has as a first solid plus the fact that Aaron Rodgers is throwing the ball to him. When the top rated QB is your QB, then some of that can be expected to rub off. Look for Jennings to have a solid year in a good Packers offense. Jennings can score from anywhere on the field and is a long ball and redzone threat for the Packers. Draft him with confidence, but expect that in some games he may lose catches to Driver who is a solid WR2.
Desean Jackson is a great young receiver with blazing speed. A couple of quick knocks on Jackson’s value in comparison to Jennings are his QB and his inconsistency. Once again, The Legend does believe that Kolb will have a good year, but wants to hedge his bets a little by making sure to factor his untested background into the analysis. Also, Jackson at times can disappear in the offense and if it wasn’t for his deep ball threat potential that gets him a lot of his yards, he would probably slide another round in many drafts. Even with that said, he can be a solid selection for a starting WR for a fantasy roster as long as that is factored into the analysis.
Unless I am in a league with a substantial bonus for long TD catches than I am going with Jennings here. While Jackson is a solid pick and I think his owners will be happy at the end of the season, Jennings owners are going to feel better on a week to week basis and will come out on top when it is all summed up.
