The absence of DeSean Jackson from the Eagles roster for today's game against the Cardinals probably isn't a huge blow to the team. Especially since DeSean hasn't amassed 50 total yards in his last three games. But what may be a cause for concern is the real reason why he won't be out there this Sunday. After missing a special teams meeting––wait, what?!––on Saturday, Philadelphia has decided to place Jackson on the inactive list for and stir an already bubbling pot between the wide receiver and the Eagles front office. Since the start of this season, DJax has wanted a contract extension and this recent riff between the two sides shouldn't make things any easier for the foreseeable future. However, what you can foresee is how you will adjust your Week 10 fantasy football starting lineup before the start of today's NFL action.
