Fantasy Analysis
Jackson totaled 158 tackles with 3.5 sacks, an interception, three passes defended and a forced fumble. That's as good as it got for Fantasy, especially for a guy who was robbed of 26 games over the two previous seasons because of injuries. Jackson should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy LB worth an early- to mid-round pick in drafts. (Updated 02/27/2012).
It was great to see D'Qwell Jackson play 16 games last season after playing in just six over the past two years. Now the question is whether or not he can stay healthy for 16 games. Jackson totaled 158 tackles last year and has averaged 9.5 total tackles per game over his career. Throw in some sacks and other pass defense stats, and he's got the makings of a bona fide No. 1 Fantasy linebacker. He's an obvious injury risk, but one worth taking with a mid-round pick in drafts. Feel free to back him up with another linebacker with a late-round pick in case he does miss some time. (Updated 4/20/12)
