Wolverines Fan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I feel your pain guys. I own SJax on a team that also has Randall Cobb, Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've got SJax with Rice and MJD on 1 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubammer Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 My only saving grace is that we have a spot for IR players on our rosters. Don't know how effective he'll be if he ever comes back, the Falcons sure need him though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LbNiners Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 isn't he an injury prone type player for most of his career anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I don't think so. I think he was a solid starter for years in St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I don't think so. I think he was a solid starter for years in St. Louis. Good, solid starter on a crappy team. But he has lots of miles on him from that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LbNiners Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPIchamp Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The thing that gets me is with Julio and Roddy out Jackson is almost right back in his Rams situation when he starts again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byroz Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've got SJax with Rice and MJD on 1 team. I feel your pain I have rice and sjax on a team.at this point I want to trade him but ive held him for so long I might as well just keep him to see how he comes back and.plays.

stevegrab Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 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 http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JackSt00.htm 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) 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.

faceplant Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Any updates on SJax? I heard he was supposed to return to practice on Monday, but haven't seen anything in the news since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endzone Is Near Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) 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.

wpayers Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You may hate him but in this blood bath of a season for RBs he still has moderate RB2/Flex value. Looks like he'll suit up this weekend and get 10-15 carries and GL work. SJax is back, His problem going forward is Jizz Rodgers running down his leg.

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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faceplant Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
