Week 12 Outlook
Availability
The Redskins promoted LB Jackson Jeffcoat from the practice squad to the active roster on October 7th. Jeffcoat, the son of Cowboys great Jim Jeffcoat, starred for the University of Texas and won the 2013 Ted Hendricks Award, given to the nation's top collegiate linebacker.
Fantasy Impact
Jeffcoat is a name to remember for owners in IDP dynasty leagues, particularly if the team decided to part ways with Brian Orakpo following the season.
The Redskins added former Texas defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat to their practice squad on September 2, 2014. Jeffcoat is the son of former Cowboys great Jim Jeffcoat and will get an opportunity to work with coaches throughout the year.
Fantasy Impact
The knock on Jeffcoat coming out of college was his lack of speed and his tweener size. Nonetheless, he has a lifetime of experience around the game and the potential to earn his way into a larger role. Obviously, Jeffcoat is not a player to sign in IDP leagues but his progress should be monitored.
