Fantasy impact: At 32 years old, Jackson appears to be a bit past his fantasy prime. Through six games played this season, Jackson has hauled in 21 receptions for 319 yards and two touchdowns. His one monster game came in Week 4 but it’s otherwise been a lackluster season for Jackson. He’s currently on pace to finished the year with under 900 yards, which would be the first time in the last four seasons that he’d fail to top 1,000 yards on the year.
With Jackson and tight end Seferian-Jenkins out, second-year stud Mike Evans projects to the focal point and target monster of the offense.
