Jackson had seven catches on 15 targets for 108 yards Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: A nice output for Jackson, although fantasy owners were surely hoping he could have caught more of the 15 balls thrown his way. Jackson has recorded at least 100 yards in two of the last three games and finishes the season against a Falcons' defense that gave up 96 yards to him in Week 12.

Jackson having career season

In his "Underrated Storylines" analysis, Around The League writer Kareem Copeland notes, "Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has put together a career-year in his first season with the Bucs. He has caught 62 passes for a career-high 1,226 yards and eight touchdowns so far. He's one score shy of matching a career high." READ: UNDERRATED STORYLINES

Analysis: Jackson will be squaring off against the Rams 9th ranked pass defense this week and has scored double-digit fantasy points just once his last four outings. That said, Jackson still poses a threat given his rapport with Josh Freeman. Consider him best as a No. 3 WR or flex play this week.

Jackson had six catches on 12 targets for 81 yards Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: The Bucs were behind for nearly the entire game but Jackson wasn't able to take advantage of the increased number of passing attempts from quarterback Josh Freeman. Jackson's 12 targets were the second most he's had all year, although only catching half of them kept him from really breaking out.…read more

Jackson caught six passes on 10 targets for 131 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' 23-21 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Analysis: Jackson scored his first touchdown since Week 11 and now has eight on the season. He continues to be a big-time fantasy and real life WR in 2012.

Jackson (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Analysis: Jackson was never really in danger of missing this game, and he remains the top option in the Tampa Bay passing attack.

Freeman, WRs consistent

In his "Week 14 Power Rankings" analysis, Elliot Harrison notes, "the Bucs have outscored opponents by 48 points and have been more consistent this season. The Bucs are gonna need as many points as possible going forward, considering they have road games against the explosive Saints and Falcons on the horizon." FULL POWER RANKINGS

Analysis: A matchup against the Eagles 16th ranked pass defense should get Josh Freeman and the likes of Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams back on track. The Eagles have allowed 23 passing scores and just seven interceptions this season.

Vincent Jackson: (Calf) Probable Against PHI

Jackson (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Sports Xchange's Jenna Laine reports.

Analysis: Jackson's health is not a significant issue heading into Sunday, and as a result most of his owners will want him active. With defenses increasingly crashing against the run to contain Doug Martin, Jackson should stay hot to finish the year.

Jackson (calf) practiced again Thursday, the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see how the Bucs officially list Jackson come Friday, but there's nothing to suggest that his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles is in any danger. Jackson had just three catches for 55 yards in Week 13, but he remains a good bet to see plenty of targets Sunday, having…read more

Vincent Jackson: (Calf) Limited Wednesday

Jackson (calf) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis: Over the last three games, Jackson has hauled in just over 50 percent of the passes thrown his way -- 14 catches on 26 targets -- though his absence would still likely be a blow to owners entering the fantasy playoffs. At the moment, there is no word on the severity of the injury, but Friday's…read more

Jackson struggles vs. Broncos

In his Week 13 "Like/Dislike" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "Vincent Jackson's history against the Broncos is pretty poor. If you want to go off straight numbers, then you might want to sit Jackson. He's had just one touchdown in eight consecutive games." READ: LIKE/DISLIKE

Analysis: Teammate Mike Williams could be a surprise performer for owners in a bind this week. Three of his five touchdown catches have come on the road this year, while Jackson has done most of his damage at home.

Jackson continues resurgence

Jackson led all Buccaneers receivers with five catches for 96 yards on Sunday. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Jackson continues to be Josh Freeman's top target, but he has been more effective on the road his last four games. The veteran has caught two scores on the road and none at home in that span.

Jackson had five catches on seven targets for 96 yards Sunday against the Falcons.

Analysis: Jackson continues to be the Bucs' best receiver, recording at least 95 yards or a touchdown in three of the last four games. However, he's got a tough matchup next week in Denver, where he'll likely line up against shutdown cornerback Champ Bailey most of the day.

Bucs WRs thriving

In his Week 12 "Like/Dislike" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams are both in the top five in the NFL in yards per reception. Jackson leads the NFL (20.5) and Williams is fourth (17.6)." FULL LIKE/DISLIKE ANALYSIS

Analysis: The Buccaneers are among the hottest offenses in the NFL. The wideouts square off this week against a Falcons defense which has allowed an average of just 216 yards passing per game this season, to go with 11 touchdowns.

Jackson thriving as a Buccaneer

Jackson continued his recent tear, catching six passes for 94 yards and a score on Sunday. The veteran also added a two point conversion. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Jackson now has 14 points or more in four of his last six games. Both he and Dallas Clark have become Josh Freeman's top red-zone targets.

Jackson has six catches on 11 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Panthers.

Analysis: Jackson has gone four straight games without a 100-yard game, although he's scored two touchdowns in that span. He remains the top receiving option for a Bucs' offense that has been prolific lately and he'll try to keep it going next week against a Falcons defense that is coming off an excellent…read more

Quarterbacks effective versus Panthers

In his "Week 11 Predictions" analysis, Elliot Harrison notes, "Opposing quarterbacks have compiled a 108.3 passer rating against the Carolina Panthers when throwing the ball downfield 20 yards or more. Freeman has completed 17 passes of that distance for a league-high 700 yards." FULL WEEK 11 PREDICTIONS

Analysis: As Freeman succeeds, so do the likes of Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson. Though the Panthers secondary ranks 16th against the pass, they have only allowed 10 passing scores (7th in NFL) through the air this season, so temper expectations.

Jackson had a team-high five receptions (on a team-high seven targets) for 59 yards in the Bucs' 34-24 victory over the Chargers.

Analysis: While some more yardage and a TD would have been nice for fantasy owners Sunday, Jackson now has 36 catches for 769 yards (a whopping 21.4 yards per reception) and six touchdowns through nine games in 2012, which are very strong numbers in any format.

Williams, Jackson lead the charge

Both Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson were held out of the end zone against the Chargers on Sunday. Williams led all receivers with 64 yards, while Jackson totaled just 59 yards for the day. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Though Tiquan Underwood and Dallas Clark were the recipients of both Josh Freeman TD passes, the duo of Willams and Jackson continue to be his top targets.

Jackson faces Week 10 grudge match

In his "Week 10 Grudge Matches" report, Gregg Rosenthal lists Vincent Jackson vs. the Chargers as one to watch. "There definitely are hard feelings between the sides. Jackson wouldn't talk with San Diego Chargers beat reporters this week. His agents had a contentious relationship with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith throughout his stay in San Diego." READ: WEEK 10 GRUDGE MATCHES

Analysis: Jackson has lived up to his big contract in Tampa Bay. He leads the NFL in yards per catch and is on pace to set a career high in receiving yards and touchdowns by a big margin.

Jackson had two catches on four targets for 84 yards Sunday against the Raiders.

Analysis: Jackson scored on a 20-yard pass from Josh Freeman in the second quarter after a 64-yard reception moved the Bucs down field. Other than two those plays, Jackson's day was rather quiet, although fantasy owners were still likely pleased with the final output no matter when or how they came. The Bucs…read more

Buccaneers offense rising up ranks

In his Week 9 Power Rankings, Elliot Harrison notes Doug Martin "made mincemeat of pretty much all 11 Vikings defensive starters last Thursday night. If Josh Freeman and Mike Williams can replicate some of the plays they made together against Minnesota, this will be one very difficult offense to stop going forward." FULL WEEK 9 POWER RANKINGS

Analysis: The Bucs face the Raiders and Chargers the next two weeks, both teams in the top eleven vs. the run, but in the bottom eleven vs. the pass. Martin will still carry value because of his pass catching skills, so expect continued success from Freeman and his wideouts.

Jackson (calf) had two catches for 40 yards Thursday against the Vikings.

Analysis: Attribute this one to Doug Martin absolutely going off Thursday. Jackson wasn't going to backup his seven catch 216 yard performance off Week 6, but this was still a bit of a let down. Don't doubt a bounce back game from the wideout in Week 8 when he faces off against a Raiders' secondary that…read more

Jackson is active

Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson is active for his Thursday Night Football matchup against the Vikings.

Analysis: Jackson and Josh Freeman have gotten into a groove of late and their success should continue against the Vikings 14th ranked secondary.

Jackson (calf) is active for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Analysis: Feel free roll with Jackson as you normally would Thursday, an especially easy call, given that he is coming off a monster (seven catches for 216 yards and a TD) effort in Week 7.

Vincent Jackson: (Calf) Probable Thursday

Jackson (calf) is probable for Thursday's game at Minnesota, according to the Pewter Report.

Analysis: Jackson was limited in practice Monday but has been a full participant the past two days, which should ease the minds of fantasy owners everywhere. However, he may have a difficult day at the office against the Vikings' 11th ranked pass defense, as they allow 219.4 yards per game.

If the Bucs had practiced Monday, Jackson (calf) would probably have been limited, the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Analysis: Both the Bucs and Viking released injury reports Monday in advance of their game on Thursday, but neither team actually took the field. Jackson's calf issue is not believed to be serious, but we'll track his status throughout the short week, nonetheless.

Jackson dominant vs. Saints

Vincent Jackson had his best day as a Buccaneer, racking up 216 receiving yards and a score. There was little left over for teammate Mike Williams, who finished with just 36 yards for the day. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Jackson and Williams have been thriving as Josh Freeman becomes more comfortable in Mike Sullivan's offense. They will face a much tougher test against the Vikings on Thursday Night Football this week.

Jackson (calf) had seven catches for 216 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: The Bucs have surely gotten their money's worth with Jackson this season, especially as of late. He now has four touchdowns in the last three games, with at least 100 yards in two of those contests. However, a tough matchup against the Vikings is on the horizon, which could limit his upside.

Jackson makes early impact

Vincent Jackson has taken advantage of the Saints' vulnerable secondary, totaling two catches for 33 yards and a score in just over one quarter of action. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: In a game that is becoming a shootout, expect more production from the WR.

Jackson (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Jackson has been a near-elite fantasy wideout as of late and fantasy owners can comfortably start him Sunday.

Vincent Jackson: (Calf) Probable For Sunday

Jackson (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Tampa Bay Times writer Stephen Holder reports.

Analysis: Jackson is close to full strength, it appears, and he's probably a must-start for nearly all of his owners against the Saints.

Vincent Jackson: (Calf) Limited Thursday

Jackson was limited at practice Thursday by a calf injury, Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis: We'll revisit Jackson's status Friday, but it's normally worth flagging players who are added to team's injury reports as the week progresses, which is the case here with Jackson.

Williams, Jackson should continue hot-streak

Fantasy expert Adam Rank notes "Williams had 12 receptions against the Saints last year, so he was targeted enough. But Williams has benefited from Vincent Jackson being on the other side of the field and should have a lot more opportunities this week." FULL SLEEPERS LIST

Analysis: Williams will go up against the Saints this week, who have allowed the third-most points to fantasy receivers this year. Expect Vincent Jackson to get in on the action as well against this secondary.

Bucs' wideouts flying under the radar

Freeman teamed with Mike Williams on a 62-yard scoring play in the first quarter and threw TD passes of 19 and 17 yards to Vincent Jackson in the second half as the Bucs (2-3) stopped a three-game losing streak. FULL GAME RECAP

Analysis: Williams and Jackson have been quietly flying under the fantasy radar, each scoring no less than 11.50 points their last two games.

Jackson had four catches for 66 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Chiefs.

Analysis: While the yards weren't really there, fantasy owners certainly have to be happy with two touchdowns from Jackson. He seems to have developed a nice relationship with quarterback Josh Freeman and remains a solid fantasy wideout option, especially next week against a weak Saints' defense.

Freeman on track for big day

Freeman connected with Vincent Jackson for a 19 yard score in the third quarter. He now has two touchdowns on the day to go with 198 passing yards. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: It's a good rebound for Freeman, who started the day with an interception. He currently has 14.92 fantasy points in just over two quarters of play.

Jackson's ceiling limited in Week 6

Fantasy guru Michael Fabiano believes Jackson carries considerable risk this week against a Chiefs' defense which "has given up fewer than 14 fantasy points to opposing wideouts in three of its last four games." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: The upside here is if the Bucs defense can keep what should be a rusty Brady Quinn from being effective, Jackson could produce by sheer volume of play.

Jackson had six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis: A solid game for Jackson, who was targeted a team-high 11 times. He's been the definition of up-and-down this year, recording at least 100 yards and a touchdown in two games and failing to reach 50 yards in two others. With a bye week coming up, fantasy owners will have to wait a week to see which…read more

Jackson had one catch for 29 yards Sunday against the Cowboys.

Analysis: A miserable fantasy output for Jackson, who was able to catch only one of the seven balls thrown his way. Quarterback Josh Freeman really struggled against the Cowboys' defense and Jackson simply wasn't able to make an impact despite that.

Jackson had five catches for 128 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Giants.

Analysis: A monster performance for Jackson, who scored on a 29-yard pass in the second quarter from Josh Freeman. It was certainly a much improved output from Week 1 and after being targeted 10 times Sunday, fantasy owners surely hope his relationship with Freeman has quickly developed into something…read more

Jackson catches first Buccaneers TD

Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson totaled 128 yards and a score in the loss against the New York Giants.

Analysis: It was a positive sign for Jackson owners after Mike Williams caught the only touchdown pass in Week 1. Though Jackson is the better play as a No 2 or 3 WR, Williams also hauled in a score in this matchup. Those in need of help at the position should consider plucking the wideout off the waiver…read more

Jackson had four catches for 47 yards during Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Analysis: A disappointing debut for Jackson, who was targeted 10 times but managed to only catch four of them. That being said, the 10 targets were more than double any other receiver and if he and Freeman can get on the same page, he could be a decent fantasy producer.

Jackson had three catches on five targets for 49 yards in the Bucs' preseason win over the Patriots Friday.

Analysis: Jackson and QB Josh Freeman appeared to have a good connection going Friday, which is promising for both players once the regular season starts.

Jackson caught his first pass of the preseason for eight yards in the Bucs loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Jackson should be fine once the regular season starts.

Jackson did not catch a pass in limited playing time during Friday's preseason game versus the Dolphins.

Analysis: No worries here as Jackson has looked good in training camp and he doesn't need a ton of preseason work as a veteran.

Vincent Jackson: Agrees to Deal with Bucs

Jackson agreed to a contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, the NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: Schefter reports that Jackson's deal with the Bucs is for five years and $55.55 million, including $26 million worth of guaranteed money. Jackson, the top receiver available in free agency, represents a significant boost to the team's wideout corps, which is great news for Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman.

Vincent Jackson: Buccaneers Reportedly Closing In

A contract between Jackson and the Buccaneers is "close to a done deal," Tampa Bay Times writer Stephen Holder reports.

Analysis: The Washington Post also mentioned that Jackson is "focused on" Tampa Bay. With Chicago trading for Brandon Marshall, it would seem like Tampa Bay is indeed the most logical landing spot for Jackson, particularly with Washington gunning for Pierre Garcon out of the gates.

The NFL has taken $36 million in cap space away from the Redskins over the next two seasons, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, which could take Washington out of the race to sign Jackson.

Analysis: The punishment was given by the NFL not for a rule violation, but rather for an unwritten rule violation. The NFL said the Redskins spent too much money in an uncapped year, although "too much" was evidently never defined. The ruling stands until further notice, in any case, which seems to limit…read more

The Bears could make a big run at Jackson, ESPN's John Clayton speculates.

Analysis: The Bears could certainly use an upgrade at wideout, but they are not the only team in that position, plus the Chargers figure to make a strong bid to retain Jackson as well. Either way, Jackson is in for a big payday in free agency.

Vincent Jackson: Headed To Unrestricted Free Agency

The Chargers did not place the franchise tag on Jackson, NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports.

Analysis: Jackson will net a huge contract as an unrestricted free agent if San Diego doesn't sign him by March 13. His variety of injury issues over the last two years indicate that he's a durability risk, but Jackson's combination of size, strength and speed is probably exceeded only by Calvin Johnson.

Vincent Jackson: Unlikely To be Tagged By Chargers

The Chargers are not expected to place their franchise tag on Jackson as Monday's deadline for doing so approaches, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Jackson would be due 120 percent of his 2011 salary if the Chargers franchise-tagged him, and that would equal $13.7 million, all of which would count against this year's salary cap. Those with knowledge of the market for receivers say that Jackson's offers might top out at about $12.5 million per…read more

Assuming the Chargers let him hit the open market, Jackson could be targeted by the Redskins, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: Whether the Redskins' anticipated QB upgrade comes in the form of signing a veteran like Peyton Manning or trading up to draft a youngster like Robert Griffin III, a boost at wideout is in order in Washington. Jackson could be a potential target along with the likes of Pierre Garcon and Reggie…read more

With several less costly options available in what promises to be a deep group of free agent wide receivers this year, it is looking like the Chargers will let Jackson test the open market, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: The Chargers like Jackson and were previously willing to discuss a long-term deal with their #1 wide out, but it's looking like they don't want to spend the money that he will likely command. The team is publicly saying that they want to be in play when Jackson starts receiving offers, but it is…read more

The Chargers are expected to begin talks with Jackson's representatives about a possible long-term contract after the Super Bowl, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Jackson is a vital part of San Diego's passing attack, and his production has been solid and steady, but General Manager A.J. Smith has refused to offer a long-term deal in the past mostly due to off field issues. Jackson's past transgressions include a pair of DUI arrests and a citation for…read more

Jackson (groin) caught two passes for 29 yards with a touchdown and added a 41-yard rush in Sunday's 38-26 win at Oakland.

Analysis: Jackson wasn't as active as Antonio Gates and Malcom Floyd, who combined to catch 12 passes for 233 yards, but his 41-yard run late in the fourth quarter essentially sealed the win. Jackson's reception total was nothing special in 2011, as he finished with only 60 catches. He did post the third…read more

Jackson (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Analysis: Jackson, who is headed for free agency, has a chance to end the season on a high note, so he'll give it a go Sunday as long as he avoids any setbacks with his groin issue.

Vincent Jackson: (Groin) Likely In This Week

Jackson (groin) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, according to Michael Gehlken of NBC San Diego.

Analysis: It now looks like Jackson will suit up this weekend, barring a setback, in a game with no playoff bearing for the Chargers, but one that would give Jackson (who is headed for free agency) a chance to end the season on a high note.

Jackson (groin) practiced Friday, San Diego Union-Tribune writer Kevin Acee reports.

Analysis: That's a positive sign, but note that the Chargers kick off during the second wave of games this week, so hopefully we'll be able to gather additional info with regards to his chances of playing Sunday in the meantime.

Coach Norv Turner hasn't ruled Jackson (groin) out from playing in Sunday's game against the Raiders, the San Diego Union Tribune reports. "I think Vincent wants to play, and if he feels good and it isn't something that he can injure more, then he'll play," said Turner.

Analysis: Mind you the Chargers have nothing to play for this week and Jackson is on track to be a free agent, a pair of variables that would suggest that the wideout would have to be feeling at or close to 100 percent Sunday to give it a go. So far, he hasn't practiced this week.

Jackson (groin) did not practice Thursday, San Diego Union-Tribune writer Kevin Acee reports.

Analysis: The Chargers have nothing to play for Sunday in terms of a playoff slot, so unless Jackson is out there -- looking and feeling good -- at practice Friday, we suspect he might take a seat in the Chargers' season finale.

Vincent Jackson: Misses Practice Wednesday

Jackson (groin) is not practicing Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of NBC San Diego reports.

Analysis: We'll revisit Jackson's status Thursday, but with the Chargers out of the playoff hunt, the team has no incentive to rush the wideout back for Sunday's season finale.

Jackson (groin) caught two passes for 41 yards in Saturday's loss to the Lions.

Analysis: The Chargers have been eliminated from playoff contention, so if Jackson, who did not appear to be 100 percent Saturday, is hobbled at all next week, it's possible that the Chargers could hold him out of their regular season finale.

Vincent Jackson: Will Give it a Go Saturday

Jackson (groin) is active for Saturday's game against the Lions, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Jackson may not be 100 percent, but he'll give it a go Saturday and according to Acee, the wideout "actually looked good changing direction" in warmups.

Jackson plans to test his groin injury in warmups to see if he can play in Saturday's 4:05 ET kickoff against the Lions, Sirius/XM's Adam Caplan reports.

Analysis: Caplan adds that he is hearing that had this been a game of lesser importance, Jackson probably would be listed as doubtful or out. In any case, the Chargers' wideout's status is cloudy and in the game-time decision category.

Vincent Jackson: Questionable for Saturday

Jackson (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lions, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Jackson's groin has evidently not responded as well as hoped, so there is genuine concern regarding his availability for Saturday's game. Possibly complicating things for his fantasy owners is the Chargers' 4:05 ET kickoff.

Vincent Jackson: Game-Time Decision

Jackson's groin has apparently not responded as well as hoped, so he looks like a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Lions, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Given the Chargers' 4:05 ET start Saturday, those interested in rolling with Jackson this week hopefully have a viable plan B available. We'll keep an eye out to see if his Week 16 prognosis either brightens or dims leading up to kickoff.

Vincent Jackson: (Groin) No Practice Thursday

Jackson (groin) did not practice Thursday, North County Times writer Scott Bair reports.

Analysis: Coach Norv Turner said Wednesday that he expects Jackson to play against Detroit on Saturday, and so far there hasn't been any indication that the expectation has changed. Still, with no practice heading into Friday, Jackson is looking like a game-time decision for Saturday's game until the team…read more

Coach Norv Turner said that he expects Jackson (groin) to play Saturday against the Lions, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: More on Jackson's status in the coming days, but so far his Week 16 availability does not seem to be in great danger.

Jackson (unspecified issue) was not practicing Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: No word yet on what, if anything, is ailing Jackson, as this might well simply be a maintenance day for the wideout.

Jackson had five receptions for 55 yards but did not score a touchdown in Week 14 against the Bills.

Analysis: It was a solid game for Jackson, but this week the touchdown passes went to Antonio Gates and Patrick Crayton. Jackson remains a great play in most formats.

Jackson had four receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown against Jacksonville on Monday night.

Analysis: It was a good game for the San Diego passing attack as he, Malcom Floyd and Vincent Brown all caught touchdown passes. Jackson now has 897 yards receiving and eight touchdowns on the year.

Jackson had only two catches for 25 yards and did not score in San Diego's Week 12 loss against the Broncos.

Analysis: This continues an alarming pattern of huge game followed by complete no show for Jackson, who has been extremely hot and cold this year. Still, Jackson is not the kind of player you want to bench when healthy, so you will most likely need to just hope for another big bounce back game next week at…read more

Jackson led the Charges with seven receptions for 165 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 at Chicago.

Analysis: It was a great bounce-back game for Jackson who managed to get open repeatedly despite the fact fellow starter Malcom Floyd missed his third straight game.

Jackson, who has played through hamstring and abdominal injuries this season, says he is "feeling great" and does not blame his one catch performance in Week 10 on health issues, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Jackson, who went to the sideline after his only catch on Thursday to have his midsection examined, said "I think everyone in the league is nicked up this time in the season." Jackson leads the Chargers with 635 yards and six touchdowns on the season, but he's also had three different games where…read more

Jackson had only one catch for 22 yards in Week 10 versus the Raiders.

Analysis: Rookie Vincent Brown was the most effective receiver this week, but the entire Chargers offense was stagnant for long stretches in this game. Jackson will look to bounce back next week at Chicago.

Jackson (leg) had seven receptions for 141 yards with three touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Jackson went bananas in the first quarter, going over 100 yards on five catches. He was quiet until late in the fourth quarter, however, when he scored a couple of touchdowns to help the Chargers get back in the game. Jackson's leg injury didn't appear to hinder him, as he got behind Green Bay's…read more

Jackson (leg) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Analysis: As expected, Jackson will be ready and raring to attack Green Bay's 31st-ranked pass defense. With Malcom Floyd out, Jackson should get plenty of targets.
