DeSean Jackson Bucs Prop Odds
How many touchdowns will DeSean Jackson post with his new team in 2017? Here’s a look at the odds.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, Jackson’s over/under for touchdowns in 2017 has been set at 5.5. The over/under for number of total receiving yards that he’ll produce this upcoming NFL season is also sitting at 900.
On March 9 the Bucs and Jackson agreed on a three-year, $35 million contract with $20 million guaranteed. Jackson will thrive as a vertical threat in Dirk Koetter’s offense, taking some attention away from No. 1 receiver Mike Evans in the process. With Jameis Winston set for his third season as a pro, the Buccaneers are a legit playoff contender heading into 2017.
According to Koetter, Jackson will also return punts, although the head coach will be selective about when to use him. Jackson returned three punts total during his three-year stint in Washington and none in 2016.
