Fantasy Upside
Every time someone counts Fred Jackson out, he proves them wrong. And it seems that has been going on for years now. The 34-year old is still one of the better backup running backs in the NFL. He has averaged 10 carries per game since 2008 and has been a consistent receiver coming out of the backfield. Even with LeSean McCoy in the house, Jackson should still see his share of the workload if he is healthy.
Fantasy Downside
As mentioned above, Jackson is 34. His numbers dipped last year, especially in the TD department where he went from 9 to 2. The Bills do have running back depth so if Jackson has problems either with performance or injuries, there is talent behind him.
Bottom Line
It's easy for everyone to say Jackson is done. He has been for years now according to experts. But you have to be leery that it will happen eventually. Jackson has an ADP of 165 which makes him a late pick. He is still not a bad pickup for RB depth so taking him a little earlier isn't such a bad idea considering his history.
