  • Breaks another long run

    Jackson carried the ball seven times for 59 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in the 13-10 loss Sunday to the Lions

    Analysis: Jackson continues to be ultra efficient despite a small workload, breaking off yet another long run -- this time a would-be 60-yard touchdown, only for a holding call to ultimately relegate it to a 40-yard gain. Still, it was the Austin Ekeler Show once more Sunday, with the tailback posting a combined 133 yards from scrimmage while out-snapping Jackson, 49 to 18. It's clear the second-year back from Northwestern is simply second fiddle to Ekeler, but Jackson likely is still worth rostering in…read more

  • Only plays 16 snaps

    Jackson carried the ball six times for 57 yards and also caught one pass on three targets for four yards in a 30-24 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson played just 16 snaps compared to Austin Ekeler's 48 despite the fact both backs played well. If it wasn't clear before, it should be obvious now --- both Ekeler and Jackson should have a prominent role unless and until Melvin Gordon ends his holdout, which doesn't appear likely to happen any time soon. The former clearly appears to be the lead back, with Jackson simply spelling Ekeler when needed, but the 75/25 time share could get closer to 50/50 as the season progresses in order to…read more

  • May get extended run in timeshare

    Jackson could be in store for an extended run as the Chargers' No. 2 running back behind Austin Ekeler with top option Melvin Gordon (contract dispute) potentially extending his holdout until late November, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: As Schefter notes, Gordon would only have to show up 30 days prior to the Chargers' regular-season finale in order for his contract not to toll over into 2020, making it likely that he'll report to Los Angeles at some point before the Dec. 1 game in Denver. Of course, Gordon could end his holdout well before that date if the Chargers trade him or meet his demands on an extension, but he'll at least be unavailable for the Week 1 matchup with the Colts, and quite possibly, additional games to…read more

  • Expected to share work in Week 1

    Coach Anthony Lynn hinted that he'll likely have Jackson share the backfield snaps with Austin Ekeler in Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports. "I've always used those guys as a tandem," Lynn said. "That's not going to change. We're going to put guys in good positions to do what they do best.

    Analysis: With Melvin Gordon's holdout continuing into the regular season, Ekeler -- the Chargers' top backup the past two seasons -- is poised to draw the Week 1 start, but he won't necessarily take on the high-volume role that Gordon typically handles. Though Ekeler has posted an impressive 5.3 yards per carry and 10.3 yards per reception thus far in his career, Lynn doesn't seem inclined to have the 24-year-old take on a dramatically heightened workload and risk losing efficiency as a result. To that…read more

  • Six touches in preseason loss

    Jackson rushed five times for 13 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Chargers' 23-15 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday.

    Analysis: Jackson saw a solid workload in anticipation of an expanded role to open the regular season. The 2018 seventh-round pick will serve as Austin Ekeler's backup if Melvin Gordon is unavailable for the regular-season opener due to his contract holdout as expected, meaning that Saturday's touches may well have been Jackson's last of the preseason.

  • Leading rusher in preseason loss

    Jackson carried the ball eight times for 33 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The second-year back led the Chargers in both totes and rushing yards, with his 17-yard scamper in the second quarter helping to set up the game's first touchdown. Jackson got work alongside Austin Ekeler with the first-team offense, and if Melvin Gordon's holdout drags on into the regular season, Jackson could see a significant workload as part of a backfield committee rather than merely being Ekeler's backup.

  • Scores touchdown in preseason debut

    Jackson carried the ball five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Austin Ekeler saw the majority of the first-team work, but Jackson bulldozed his way for a touchdown to begin the second quarter, so it's fair to suggest both running backs were featured prominently in the opening exhibition game of the season. The Chargers are expected to employ a two-headed combo of Ekeler and Jackson in the event Melvin Gordon's holdout continues into the regular season, with both running backs likely to receive their fair share of carries and targets. The latter point is…read more

  • Should get more work in camp

    Jackson stands to benefit the most after starting running back Melvin Gordon revealed Wednesday that he'll hold out during training camp until he receives a new long-term deal, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Austin Ekeler has typically been selected ahead of Jackson in most early fantasy drafts, there's reason to believe the Chargers may deploy a committee in the backfield in the event Gordon's contract dispute drags into the regular season. In such a scenario, Jackson might lead the charge as a first- and second-down back, a familiar role for the 2018 seventh-round draft pick, who rushed for at least 1,100 in all four of his college seasons at Northwestern. Jackson proved capable when…read more

  • Little competition added

    Jackson saw extra reps while Melvin Gordon sat out OTAs, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson spent his rookie season as the Chargers' No. 3 running back, making a start Week 15 when Gordon and Austin Ekeler both were sidelined by injuries. The Northwestern product made a good impression during the offseason program, and he appears primed for a repeat role after the team did little this offseason to add competition in the backfield. Gordon rejoined the Chargers for June minicamp, hoping to secure a contract extension without holding out.

  • Ranks third in backfield usage

    Jackson played 13 of the Chargers' 71 offensive snaps and finished with one carry for four yards and three receptions for 22 yards in Sunday's 41-28 divisional-round loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Jackson trailed Melvin Gordon (35) and Austin Ekeler (25) in terms of offensive snaps but tied Gordon for the lead among the trio in total yardage. That wasn't a particularly noteworthy accomplishment on a day in which the Patriots' 35-7 halftime advantage forced the Chargers to abandon the run early, resulting in fewer touches than normal for Gordon. With both Gordon and Ekeler under contract through next season, Jackson will be locked in as the clear No. 3 option on the depth chart.

  • Active in passing game Saturday

    Jackson played 21 of the Chargers' 63 offensive snaps (33 percent) and finished with seven receptions for 47 yards on 10 targets and one carry for minus-1 yard Saturday in a 22-10 to the Ravens.

    Analysis: After handling 19 touches (16 carries, three receptions) while starting in the Week 15 win over the Chiefs while both Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) were sidelined, Jackson dropped to the No. 2 role Saturday with Gordon returning to action. Though Gordon garnered the overwhelming share of carries, Jackson actually exceeded his output in the passing game, a somewhat surprising development given Gordon's prowess in that area this season. It's possible the Chargers wanted…read more

  • Headed for reserve role

    Jackson is likely to serve as the Chargers' No. 2 back Saturday against the Ravens with Melvin Gordon (knee) returning from a three-game absence and Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) listed as doubtful, ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: When the Los Angeles backfield is at full strength, Jackson has served as the third-string option behind Gordon and Ekeler, but the rookie seventh-round pick moved up two spots in the pecking order during the Week 15 win over the Chiefs when the top two on the depth chart were sidelined. Jackson supplied 16 carries for 58 yards and three receptions for 27 yards in the starting role, but he should see his usage dwindle significantly with Gordon not expected to face any limitations in his return…read more

  • Totals 85 yards and scores

    Jackson carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown, and also caught three of his four targets for 27 yards in Thursday's 29-28 come-from-behind win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Fantasy players can't be too disappointed with 85 total yards and a touchdown, but the rookie running back could, and quite possibly should have scored on two other occasions, most notably on an underthrown wheel route during the Chargers' final possession. While 3.6 yards per carry doesn't seem fantastic, Jackson displayed a promising amount of explosiveness, often times falling forward for a handful of additional yards. With an extra couple of days of rest, Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin…read more

  • Added work on tap with Gordon out

    With Melvin Gordon (knee) inactive, Jackson is in line to lead the Chargers' backfield in Thursday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: In addition to Gordon being out, Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) is sidelined, so Jackson is in a decent spot to put forth a fantasy-worthy effort in Week 15. Detrez Newsome and Troymaine Pope are on hand to work in reserve roles Thursday.

  • Likely to lead Week 15 backfield

    Jackson is trending toward starting and serving as the Chargers' lead back Thursday against the Chiefs after coach Anthony Lynn told Steve Wyche of NFL Network he's "not optimistic" Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) will be available for the contest.

    Analysis: Both Gordon and Ekeler were listed as non-participants on Monday's estimated practice report and are facing uphill battles to get healthy on the short week. Jackson had seen his role expand over the previous three games while Gordon was either limited or withheld from action, with the Northwestern product earning at least seven snaps in every contest. He was efficient in his opportunities in Weeks 12 and 13, but managed only 12 yards on his seven totes in the Week 14 win over the Bengals.…read more

  • Disappoints behind Ekeler

    Jackson had seven carries for 12 yards and caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Unable to build on his breakout from the previous week, Jackson took a clear backseat to Austin Ekeler, who piled up 94 yards and a score on 17 touches (two receptions). There is some chance the rookie ends up with a larger role Thursday against the Chiefs, given that Ekeler has reportedly been bothered by stingers and Melvin Gordon (knee) is far from a lock to return. The Chargers' injury reports will need to be monitored closely this week.

  • Expected to come off bench

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday that Jackson should get more work before halftime this week, though Austin Ekeler is still in line for the start Sunday against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Lynn had another interesting quote at his Tuesday press conference, noting that Jackson and Detrez Newsome could get more playing time because Ekeler is wearing down from his combination of snaps on offense and special teams, per Dave Richard of CBS Sports. Of course, Lynn sung a much different tune last week when he deemed Ekeler capable of handling an every-down role. The second-year back was then limited to 21 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's 33-30 comeback win over Pittsburgh, with Jackson…read more

  • Takes advantage of opportunity

    Jackson rushed eight times for 63 yards and a touchdown, adding 19 more yards on his lone reception in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Austin Ekeler started in place of the injured Melvin Gordon (knee), opening up change-of-pace duties for Jackson. The 2018 seventh-round pick shined in limited action, ripping off multiple big gains on the ground, including an 18-yard touchdown that put the Chargers up late. Jackson is unlikely to usurp Ekeler on the depth chart after the latter had one poor game, but his strong showing should certainly give the Chargers' coaching staff confidence in turning to the rookie when Gordon is…read more

  • Looks good in limited opportunities

    Jackson carried the ball seven times for 57 yards Sunday in the 45-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jackson saw extended work as the game got out of hand by the end of the third quarter. The rookie running back could see a few more looks next week if Melvin Gordon (knee) misses time as expected according to Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com, but Austin Ekeler will likely be the first in line for additional carries. Still, Jackson showed Sunday that he has the potential to be explosive if given the opportunities, bursting for a 20-yard carry in the fourth quarter.
