Like many marquee players on their respective teams, Jackson has been limited in practice sessions. The team has been careful with him, though it has not caused him to miss significant time.
Fantasy Analysis: Steven Jackson should be ready to go this Sunday when the Rams take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be a tough match-up for the Rams back as he'll be faced with the league's No. 1-ranked run defense.
However, a good amount of the team’s offensive production goes through Jackson. Consider him a low-end, but starting flex option in Week 16.
