Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Vincent Jackson
Vincent Jackson caught a huge touchdown in Week 4. Should you start him in your fantasy league this week?

Jackson was quiet in the game and has been all season, totaling just 134 yards on 13 catches this season. Last season, he had three games of at least 134 yards, so needless to say he’s been a disappointment. He has a small fracture in his wrist, but it hasn’t affected his snap count. Jackson’s struggles have been due to the overall lack of performance of the Bucs’ offense, which currently has one of the worst running games. Quarterback Mike Glennon has been a project so far in his second season, but perhaps he’ll get it turned around.
This week they get the New Orleans Saints, who have been absolutely destroyed on defense. They have allowed 37 points or more in two of their four games and rank 30th in passer rating against at 105.7.
Fantasy impact: Jackson is a solid WR2 this week and is a nice buy-low target. The Saints are 28th in fantasy points allowed to receivers.
