Fantasy Impact: Jackson is good to go and will be in his usual role, splitting time with C.J. Spiller. Jackson has quietly had a solid fantasy season and has rushed 174 times for 725 yards (4.2 YPC) and has found the end zone eight times, twice through the air. While Jackson isn't a strong candidate to drop a gem line in a given fantasy week, his value is in his consistency. Jackson is a safe bet to receive 10-15 carries and three catches and he has remained the team's goal-line back all throughout the year. Scoring opportunities have been scarce in Buffalo's offense, but Jackson has certainly made the most of them.
Jackson has a favorable match up in the Dolphins and owners have every reason to expect to see him continue his moderate fantasy production. As a solid bet for a touchdown and a few catches, Jackson is a low-end RB2/flex play in Week 16.
