Wide Receiver Rank: #13 Overall: #45
Jackson held out most of the season in hopes for a long-term contract, but a new contract never materialized and Jackson eventually caved. He played the last five games of the season, ending his holdout. He made his fantasy impact Week 15, catching five passes for 112 yards and three touchdowns. Jackson showed his worth in the Chargers' offense. He is their top receiver in the passing game. Before last season, Jackson had two straight 1,000-yard seasons. He averages 17.2 yards per reception for his career, proving he is a top deep threat at receiver. Jackson is a big receiver with good leaping ability and plus speed. The Chargers are a pass-first offense with Jackson serving as their top receiver. He'll get plenty of chances from day one this season.

Jackson might be overlooked some after last season, but don't forget about him. He is a low-end No. 1 for fantasy teams. His reception totals won't be as high as some of the elite guys, but he can finish among the league leaders in yardage and scored double-digit touchdowns. It wouldn't surprise to see Jackson set career highs across the board this season - 75 receptions for 1,250 yards and 10 touchdowns. |
