Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has been a top-tier wide receiver for a number of years, but he's off to a relatively slow start this season. That's mostly due to the fact that the Buccaneers have played two solid defenses in two games, but also because the Buccaneers don't exactly have a great quarterback. Josh McCown doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence at this point.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: Vincent Jackson
Vincent Jackson has yet to break out in 2014, but he could be poised to do so against a struggling Atlanta Falcons defense. We break down the fantasy implications.

But Jackson could be poised for a breakout game heading into Week 3. The Buccaneers may not have a huge chance at beating the NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, but Jackson could be eyeing a strong fantasy matchup as the Falcons rank 31st in defending the pass through two games (317.5 passing yards allowed on average through two games).
Fantasy Impact: Atlanta has allowed more yards than any team in the league through two games, and even a struggling offense like the one in Tampa Bay should be able to move the football. Jackson is the top receiver and McCown’s favorite target, so smart money is on him having a big day. Fantasy owners should be more than happy to start him.
