Eagles HC Andy Reid revealed that WR DeSean Jackson fractured his ribs during Monday night's loss to the Panthers. D-Jax will be placed on IR, ending his 2012 campaign. It might be a blessing in disguise for fantasy owners. Jackson wasn't helping much anyways, topping 62 yards just once in his last 5 games. Philly might be ready to give rookie WR Damaris Johnson a shot to replace Jackson on the outside. He's averaged 15.8 yards per catch in limited action this season. WRs Jason Avant and Riley Cooper will also help pick up the slack. But none of these guys will be immediate fantasy starters in Philly's fledgling passing game. WR Jeremy Maclin will dominate targets the rest of the way.
