The Colts have named Jackson the starter to begin the season – most likely because of his familiarity in their offense. His status on the depth chart as the top back doesn’t, however, guarantee him an RB1 workload – it’s likely that Evan Hull and eventually Zack Moss mix in to help weather the storm of Jonathan Taylor’s absence. Jackson will likely be best utilized as a flex player on most fantasy football rosters, but his value will likely deteriorate as the season goes on – especially if the Colts and Jonathan Taylor are able to mend their broken relationship.
