Jackson In Line For Another Good Week?
According to ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure, Steven Jackson might be worth starting this week coming off a season-high 81 rushing yards against Tampa Bay, which included a 1-yard touchdown run.
McClure went on to note the veteran has carried the ball 16-plus times the past two games, meaning the Falcons truly are trying to get some offensive balance.
Although Carolina has two strong linebackers in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, Jackson should benefit from the absence of Panthers' run-stuffing defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (ankle).
Carolina yields 4.57 yards per rush, and is tied for 24th in goal-to-go defense, allowing opponents to convert almost 81 percent of the time.
McClure summed up: "Jackson could be a sneaky-good play in salary-cap leagues in Week 11."
