Fantasy Impact: It's not yet known whether Jackson will be able to play when the team takes on the St. Louis Rams this Sunday, but it sounds like most people close to the team are edging toward him starting the game.
Either way, news of any injuries at this time in the fantasy season is not what Jackson's owners want to hear, especially when he's having success with Colt McCoy at quarterback. In McCoy's two starts this season, D-Jax has a combined 11 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown.
Those numbers are much better than either Robert Griffin III or Kirk Cousins could facilitate in their respective starts this year.
Fantasy owners should hang tight and wait for injury reports to come out on Thursday before even considering benching Jackson this week.
