Darrell Jackson got off to a very fast start last year. He was targeted 42 times in the first four games, and was on pace for 168. Only Anquan Boldin ended up with more (171). So it was easy to look at Jackson's start last year and get excited about what he might achieve this year if he were to play 16 games. But with such a small sample size, that would be a very dangerous approach.
After missing ten games least year, Jackson had knee surgery this past spring. Although he isn't expected to miss training camp, Jackson's health is starting to become a minor concern.
He won't be 28 until December and he is the clear number one receiving option for the Seahawks. Hasselbeck is one of the league's better QBs. It is unlikely that the Seahawks will win so many games this season. The 13 wins last season was a franchise record and is unlikely to be repeated. 474 pass attempts was their lowest since 2001, and they typically have over 500 attempts.
Jackson could be in for a nice season if he stays healthy. He is not an elite receiver, but he has made the top ten once and is a threat to return to it this year. The six divisional games should be productive ones for the Seattle passing game.
