Deon Jackson Ready To Handle The Backfield Duties On Sunday

Deon Jackson Ready To Handle The Backfield Duties On Sunday

one year ago

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson will presumably enter Week 1 against the Jaguars as the top option out of the backfield. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is on injured reserve, and with Zach Moss (forearm) doubtful, Jackson is expected to see an enhanced role for the Colts. The 24-year-old had the largest workload of his career in 2022, rushing the ball 68 times for 236 yards. He also had 30 catches for 209 yards while totaling two touchdowns. Although Anthony Richardson should get some action on the ground versus Jacksonville, Jackson commands flex attention in deeper fantasy setups, especially for managers in PPR formats.
