Who would have thought that Ryan Fitzpatrick was all DeSean Jackson needed to be a relevant name in fantasy football again? Jackson is a must start against a terrible Steelers secondary who allowed Patrick Mahomes to look like a ten-year pro.

Jackson has gone for over 120 yards in both of his games so far this year and is looking to make it a third straight. He also has three touchdowns on the year already. No one is loving this so-called “FitzMagic” as much as DeSean Jackson, except maybe his fantasy owners.

Jackson is projected to notch just ten points this week, but I like the over on that. He’s gone for 31 and 22 in his first two games, so the chances of him getting more than just his ten projected points are high. That’s assuming Fitzpatrick continues to rake.

The Steelers defense is no longer the Steel Curtain, so Jackson should be able to find the end zone once or even twice in this one. Make sure he’s starting for your squad this week.
