Signs with Raiders Jackson signed a contract with the Raiders on Monday, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Jackson went unclaimed on waivers after he was let go by the Rams last week, but he'll quickly find a new landing spot. The 34-year-old hauled in eight of his 15 targets for 221 yards and a touchdown across the first seven weeks of the season, and he should compete for targets with Hunter Renfrow, Bryan Edwards and Zay Jones in Las Vegas.

Won't play while seeking trade Jackson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston, with coach Sean McVay relaying that the wide receiver will be held out of action while he pursues a trade.

Impact Jackson presumably wants more playing time after taking just four snaps in the Week 7 win over Detroit. Second-year wideout Van Jefferson finished the contest with season highs for snap share (94 percent) and targets (seven), but the Rams could also look to get rookie speedster Tutu Atwell involved as a replacement for Jackson off the bench. McVay isn't sure if Jackson will be open to staying with the Rams if he can't find a trade, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com that he'd have "more information on that moving forward."

Rams and DeSean Jackson agree to seek trade partner The Rams will attempt to trade DeSean Jackson by Tuesday’s trade deadline after struggling to find a role for him on offense.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Seeking trade Jackson and the Rams have agreed to look for a trade, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jackson had a 75-yard touchdown in Week 3 and a 68-yard gain in Week 5, but he's taken 21 or fewer snaps in every game this season, including just four in the Week 7 win over Detroit. Coach Sean McVay has left no doubt about his preference for second-year wideout Van Jefferson, who finished the Week 7 contest with season highs for snap share (94 percent) and targets (seven). With both parties agreeing to seek a trade, Jackson won't play in Sunday's game at Houston, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Uninvolved against Lions Jackson failed to haul in his lone target during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit. He also only played four of 65 offensive snaps.

Impact With just three receptions for 80 yards on eight targets through the past four games, it's difficult to rely on Jackson in most fantasy formats. Furthermore, his lack of playing time this week with Los Angeles trailing for long stretches of the game reaffirmed his role as the No. 4 wide receiver on the offense. For reference, No. 3 wideout Van Jefferson played 61 offensive snaps Sunday.

Hardly plays against Giants Jackson caught his lone target for six yards and played just 16 of 66 offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-11 win over New York.

Impact With just eight receptions on the season, Jackson's fantasy appeal is dwindling by the week. He has caught just a single pass in each of the past three games, and he's also clearly behind Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson on the depth chart. Jackson remains a serviceable real-world player because defenses have to be wary of his speed and ability to stretch the field. However, it has only translated in the fake game once through the first six weeks of the season.

Makes one catch count Jackson secured one of three targets for 68 yards in the Rams' 26-17 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Impact Jackson turned in one of his trademark downfield grabs but was still minimally involved in the grand scheme of things. The Rams' air attack is likely going to continue heavily focusing on top wideouts Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp -- the two combined for 19 receptions for 242 yards Thursday -- so Jackson should continue to serve as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in a Week 6 road battle versus the Giants a week from Sunday.

Held to single reception by Cards Jackson caught one of three targets for just six yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to Arizona. He also played only 22 of 68 offensive snaps.

Impact This was a disappointing follow up to Jackson's solid Week 3 showing. Furthermore, the veteran played significantly fewer offensive snaps than fellow wide receiver Van Jefferson (46). Jefferson also cashed in on his opportunity by catching all six of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown. Jackson's ability to stretch the field should remain an important part of the Los Angeles passing attack, and he's probably going to have more solid fantasy performances this season. Unfortunately, timing when to utilize him on a week-to-week basis could prove difficult.
