ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Even though the majority of touches have been distributed to Moss following Taylor’s ankle injury, there is also a rationale for securing Deon Jackson if you are searching for flex options entering your Week 17 matchups.
Jackson’s versatility has been displayed during the season including a two-game sequence in Week 5-6 when he operated effectively as a rusher and receiver. He secured a 64% snap share while operating as the Colts’ lead back during those matchups, while Taylor was sidelined with his previous ankle issue.
Jackson capitalized on his expanded workload while leading Indianapolis in carries (25) and rushing yards (104) during those contests. Jackson also collected all 14 of his targets and assembled 108 receiving yards during that two-game span.
Jackson can accumulate a sufficient number of touches to remain worthy of consideration as a starting option even if Moss continues to confiscate the majority of opportunities. Jackson’s capabilities as a pass-catcher can also expand his involvement when game scripts dictate the need for Indianapolis to become more reliant on the Colts' receiving weaponry. This makes Jackson an intriguing roster addition if you participate in PPR leagues.
