Fantasy Impact: Jackson played more snaps than teammate C.J. Spiller last week and he didn't leave the game early. There was no indication that he had any physical ailments.
Since he and Spiller do split touches, the fantasy value of both players is always capped. Fantasy owners probably knew that going into this season.
That said, barring any further news of an injury, Jackson would be the back to start this week against the Dolphins. He carried the ball 17 times last week, which is a season high. There is no reason he won't see at least 12 touches in Week 16 against Miami.
Jackson leads the team with seven touchdowns on the year and should be in lineups particularly in deeper leagues as the fantasy postseason comes to a close.
