who are you talking about? none of those things describe Steven Jackson'BusterTBronco said:Old, slow, and washed up is not a good combination for an NFL runningback.

Did you watch the game? He looks like the same guy who puts up 1400+ total yards, 40+ catches and 6-7 TDs every year...84 total yards isn't bad
I'll take that from my RB2 all day. Consistent production each week.Did you watch the game? He looks like the same guy who puts up 1400+ total yards, 40+ catches and 6-7 TDs every year...84 total yards isn't bad
no, 84 yards isn't bad at all. Since when is 1400 yards in a season bad? Still top 15RB numbers.84 total yards isn't bad
Yep.This is who Steven Jackson is. No more, no less. Exactly as advertised.
With that and LT Rodger Saffold hospitalized with a neck sprain...YES.If, god forbid, this means Wayne Hunter is a starter now, I'll also be worried for Bradford's life.Anyone worried about the Scott Wells injury effecting SJax's running lanes?

Should have drafted McFadden if you want a weekly(barring injury) homerun hitter. I would be more than happy with his points on any of my teams this week with the exception of my team that has ray rice and mcfadden...What are you complaining about? Not the best matchup and he did ok. He gives you reliability from the RB slot - if you're expecting a home run hitter, I don't know what to tell you.
YES.Not worried at all about how S-Jax looks. He still runs hard, catches the ball well, and I expected a few more scoring chances this year.The injuries to Wells ans Saffold however are HUGE concerns to me.Anyone worried about the Scott Wells injury effecting SJax's running lanes?
Ah this has me worried as well. Are these long-term injuries?YES.Not worried at all about how S-Jax looks.

Wells has a broken foot and was placed on IR. With the new rules he can return but is done for a minimum of 8 weeks I believe.Saffold was carted off on a stretcher with a neck injury. He is out of the hospital and has movement in arms and legs but no info on his return. No timetable on a return but at this point I would not be surprised if he misses a lot of time or even the whole season.. ETA- Looks like they are calling Saffold's injury a "significant strain."Ah this has me worried as well. Are these long-term injuries?YES.Not worried at all about how S-Jax looks.

if they can help the team get down the field for more red zone chances for sjax I am all for it.I am going to look to trade him if I can though. this looks like a really bad thing to be a part ofRams rookie RB Richardson looks really good. Don't be surprised if SJax starts losing some snaps to him and Pead. They both offer quickness that SJ doesn't offer.
this is spot on.good point re the fewer pts games from last yr too. some of us need to read that so they can put this into proper perspective.in the world of today's #1 FF rbs, sjax is a very good guy to own this yr.'Banger said:I guess it's week 1 and if you're guy didn't get a TD and / over 100 yards it's worth complaining in a thread about....In 25% of his games last year he scored fewer points and still finished 11th.
how?This thread made me feel better about his performance this week.
Do they have his hands or pass blocking skills? Seeing as how the offensive line may be in shambles, I highly doubt they'd throw an inferior pass blocker in there at this point in time.For the record, I'm far for ready to jump ship yet.. unless I can get another RB who's similarly utilized in all facets of the game as my RB2 of course.Rams rookie RB Richardson looks really good. Don't be surprised if SJax starts losing some snaps to him and Pead. They both offer quickness that SJ doesn't offer.
I don't doubt Jackson. I am really worried about that oline and the offense....its as bad as its ever beenI just watched the game. Anyone who thinks Steven Jackson is no longer a good back is out of their ####### mind.
He finished RB10 in my league's scoring last year and missed a game. How much worse do you figure STL is this year?I don't doubt Jackson.

I agree on the line, but thought Bradford looked pretty good.I don't doubt Jackson. I am really worried about that oline and the offense....its as bad as its ever beenI just watched the game. Anyone who thinks Steven Jackson is no longer a good back is out of their ####### mind.
High floor, low ceiling. If you drafted him expecting anything else, then you were fooling yourself.I think with all the Rams OL injuries, SJax's upside is pretty limited. I really doubt he ends up scoring double digit TDs this year for example.However, just based on usage and the fact that he should catch at least 3 balls most games, he is one of the safer options out there. He is going to put up double digit points very consistently. I just think you're probably looking at a lot of weeks in the 10-16 PPG range (PPR), which isn't bad. Solid RB2. But without the upside that a lot of the other RB2s have.
Yeah no way he even sniffs double digit TDs, he hasn't done that since 2006. I owned Jackson last year and I hated it. Sure he's not a guy who's going to kill you, he'll consistently get 8-12 points, but he's rarely going to have that big week to carry your team to victory. If you have a strong team around this guy he's a fine role player, but you have to temper expectations for him.I think with all the Rams OL injuries, SJax's upside is pretty limited.

He got injured week 1, missed week 2, played sparingly week 3 and then rattled off 12.4, 12.5, 13.3, 31.1, 14.2, 15.1. He had three bad weeks and then for the playoffs against top run defenses, he got 18.3, 14.3, and 12.7.Yeah no way he even sniffs double digit TDs, he hasn't done that since 2006.
