"Steven Jackson (groin) acknowledged Thursday that he might need to miss this week's game to get healthy for the long haul.
Jackson revealed that he's yet to attempt to run this week. He'd like to get in at least one practice on Friday, though he concedes that he'll be a game-time decision at best this week. After those comments, it's hard to get excited about Jackson as a RB2 even if he attempts to play this week. Sep. 30 - 4:04 pm et

I doubt he breaks top 25. You gotta figure if SJax is struggling to find yardage and the endzone then Darby/whoever else they have is gonna have a heck of a time doing much.

Jackson is averaging 4.2 YPC. I wouldn't say he's struggling to find yardage. Darby also scored last week. I think if Darby starts he's a decent RB2. I thought he looked fairly good last week against Washington. He's not a great player by any stretch but I thought he looked better last week than in previous games when he's been called upon.

Take away his 42 yard TD run last week and he's averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Not saying that 42 yard TD run wasn't deserved but it accounted for 1/4 of his rushing yardage over a 3 week span. Take week 2 against OAK: 19 rushes for 75 yds (3.9 ypc). Your point is valid but I'm just saying.

Take away all his carries except for his TD run last week, and he's averaging 42 yards and a TD per carry.

Cute. All I'm saying is Jackson is an elite talent and he's struggling to get it done against poor run Ds behind a young and inexperienced O-line. I'm using that line of reasoning to suggest that Darby may not be worth a start in 10-12 team leagues unless you're desperate.
Who was the guy that said that their O-Line is underrated/actually pretty good or some such?
Affirmative, it was in one of these Jackson threads.

He shouldn't play. Have him on several teams and would like him to play, but he needs to keep the full season in perspective.
No running on Thursday should = no playing on Sunday this early in the season.

Though Steve Jackson concedes that he might have to miss a game to get his groin injury back to full strength, he's intent on at least trying to play on Sunday.
"Sunday we'll definitely go out before the game, warm up, see how I feel" Jackson explained. "Say Friday or Saturday it doesn't happen, I will be there early Sunday seeing if I can run and cut and seeing if I can go out there and give my team a lift." Jackson called this week a "huge game" for the Rams, but he may not be able to just "suck it up" and play due to the soft tissue nature of the injury. He's a full-blown game-time decision
This seems really risky. If he plays he could end up with a more severe injury.

What are you saying??

All SJAx owners are hoping he sits this one out and gets some rest. I picked up Darby who I think might be a sneaky start in PPR if SJax is out since Seattle D is averaging about 5 catches a game to RB's. He probably won't do much on the ground but should be able to put up 10+ points plus possibly a TD.

while I never count him out... SJax will sit out this game IMO.
their schedule is very doable in the coming weeks, and they will NEED a healthy Sjax to get into the race. Their next 5 games are ALL possible wins, even against SD who, as of late, has been very unimpressive.
I think the team will really lean on Jackson to rest to try and get 3-4 wins in the coming weeks.

F'n kids and their short-sighted ways. Should have told SJax he needs him to rest this week and get healthy for the rest of the season.

Clayton called him more doubtful than questionable on ESPN a little bit ago. I'd be surprised if he played.

Most Ram fans here were saying this in the preseason. I think blackjacks or magaw called them a "Top 10 OL" in fact.But us NFC West fans are all stupid, you shouldn't listen to us.
