Coming off a career-best season in 2013, in which he had career-highs of 82 receptions, 1,332 yards, and 9 touchdowns in a dynamic Philadelphia Eagles offense, explanation here. Whether you believe that explanation or not or whether you should like or respect Jackson as a person is not my call. For a great read on Jackson's background, check this out this article from ESPN The Magazine and form your own opinion.

However, what I can provide is insight into how Jackson is performing on the field in 2014 this touchdown in which he beats double coverage while lined up on the left side of the field versus his old team the Eagles. In fact, Jackson has 20 career touchdowns traveling a distance of 50 yards or more since 2008.

In terms of our numberFire Reception Net Expected Points totals, Jackson stacks up pretty well among the 73 wide receivers with 25 or more targets:

Jackson's Reception NEP and Reception NEP per target is no doubt aided by the deep ball and touchdowns on the deep ball. However, Reception NEP is a cumulative statistic and Jackson has achieved his ninth-ranked total in spite of a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, which caused him to miss most of his Week 2 game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He's played through the injury and wasn't expected to go versus the Eagles. He did end up playing and torched them for 5 catches and 117 yards receiving, including the touchdown mentioned earlier. He has also achieved his success with backup quarterback Week 8 versus the Dallas Cowboys.

All signs point to Jackson continuing to use his speed to exploit opposing defenses and burn them deep more weeks than not, especially with some of the team's offensive weapons returning. The hope for fantasy football owners who start Jackson is that not only does he catch the deep ball, but that his targets and work in the intermediate and screen game to create a floor similar to his Week 1 performance at Houston. If that happens, you can start Jackson in your fantasy leagues and daily leagues without hesitation.
