After suffering the knee injury in Week 1, Jackson continues to work to get back to full strength. He carried the ball 16 times for 53 yards and one touchdown on Sunday, adding five catches for 30 yards in the receiving game.
Fantasy Impact: C.J. Spiller outperformed Jackson in the ground game, rushing for 88 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. It doesn’t look like the Bills will favor either, though, as the two backs continue to split the workload.
Next week Jackson will have a good chance at putting up big fantasy points again. He’ll take on a Titans defense that is allowing 130 yards rushing per game.
