St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday, but this has become a regular occurrence for the veteran back. Jackson will likely be full on Thursday and in no danger of starting on Sunday against the Vikings.
Steven Jackson’s missed practice should not concern fantasy owners
A bigger concern might be that Jackson has only scored three touchdowns this season on the ground. We break down the fantasy implications.
Dilip Vishwanat
Jackson has 836 yards this season with three touchdowns and 22 catches for 207 yards.
Fantasy Take: He’s not the threat he once was but is consistent enough to be a solid RB2 in fantasy leagues. The Vikings have really struggled to stop the run though, allowing over 100 yards in seven of their last eight games. This is a decent matchup for Jackson at home, potentially gaining 70-100 total yards with a possible score.
