I have decided that Jackson is the perfect Fantasy Football illusion. We all treat him as if he’s a stud and yet he’s only been in the top 10 fantasy-wise once in his five year career.
So what exactly is keeping him ranked this high year after year? Well for starters he DOES produce well despite missing games, suffering through terrible offensive lines, and working with injured QBs. He can catch the ball, break a big run, and fight for hard yards.
The risk is he has only finished a full season once: in 2006 which was the year he was a top fantasy player. That’s telling, but so is how much he’s been hurt.
He’s also facing another season with a questionable O-line and now has very young and/or inexperienced wide receivers for a weakening Bulger to throw to.
Jackson once again is a back with a ton of potential. Will it be reached or is it merely an illusion we chase every season?
