Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jackson joins a receiving corps in desperate need of a playmaker on the outside. ... According to his
NFL.com scouting report, the 6-0, 178-pound Jackson is often compared to Santana Moss, but he is much more explosive in his drive off the ball to the break point and brings much more value on special teams. Others liken him to Devin Hester, but he is not in that class as a returner and because of size issues, he has never really taken to the kickoff-return role. That said, Jackson is a better deep threat with better hands as a receiver than Hester.
