I hate Steven Jackson

I don't think so. I think he was a solid starter for years in St. Louis.

 

 

while he did almost play a full season year in and year out, I usually always saw the questionnable tag on him on fantasy rosters with some sort of injury and several time each season there were game time decision on him. Well at least that what I recall of him

I suffered a rash of RB injuries on one team, so I traded for Jackson before week 2, his first game for me was the game he got hurt. I've been rolling out guys like Hillman, Bolden, Snelling and PT for a month. It's a miracle I'm 4-2.

isn't he an injury prone type player for most of his career anyways?

 

 

 

Nope has started at least 15 games a season all but a couple of years after his rookie season. Looks like he missed 4 games each in 07/08

The point somebody else made about him being banged up a lot, often questionable to play sounds right. But he wasn't every really injury prone or missing a ton of time during his years in STL.

From rotoworld:

 

According to FOX's Jay Glazer, Steven Jackson (hamstring) had a setback this week.

 

Older players often struggle to recover from soft-tissue injuries and hamstring pulls are especially tricky.

 

Jackson's timetable is completely unknown right now as we don't know the severity of this setback.

 

All we know is that he hasn't even practiced since originally sustaining the injury in Week 2. The vastly improved Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling will continue to operate in a 60/40 timeshare indefinitely.

He had massive red flags going into the season due to his age and career touches. I don't know why he was getting drafted so high.

 

Because of the offense he is now in. A terrible Michael Turner got a ton of carries in the redzone last year for ATL, so the thought of Jackson getting that many opportunities to score in a really good offense was intriguing to many.

He's 29, with over 2,500 career touches (he has the most career touches of any currently active RB), and he always seemed to be nursing some injury in St Louis. Thats about as high mileage as you can get in the NFL. If you go back to draft season, you'll see a lot people saying 'stay away' on him.

But those little injuries in STL never kept him out of many games. You make it sound like people were predicting this exact thing. Sure there were some red flags (age, # carries) but there was also a very high potential (Turner did very well and he was a plodder, not the talent of SJax.)

 

I don't know him but wasn't avoiding him either (he was probably a keeper in my league).

Is he worth starting this week?

 

 

Depends on your situation/options and what's to be expected. If he plays, which I think he does, my guess is that he gets around 15 touches and the goaline work.

So somewhere around 50 yards and maybe a touchdown.

 

That's better than my other options right now in the RB2 slot, so I (gulp) think I'm rolling with him.
