Description: According to multiple reports, former Rams running back Steven Jackson has reached an agreement on a three-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons. | Insight: Jackson will give Atlanta's offense a new dynamic in 2013 and should have plenty of fantasy value as a three-down back who can run and catch the ball. Keep in mind that Michael Turner still carried the ball 222 times last season despite rushing for 3.6 yards per carry and found the end zone 11 times overall. Jackson's signing will relegate Jacquizz Rodgers to a third-down role at best. | | |

Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson had 81 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries Sunday against Tampa Bay to help St. Louis get to 7-7-1. | Insight: Jackson surpassed 10,000 yards for his career last week but he's still grinding out yards. He'll need just 10 yards next week to reach 1,000 for the eighth straight season, a feat that didn't seem likely after Week 8 when Jackson was averaging 50.4 ypg. | | |

Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson had his first 100-yard game of the season against the 49ers in Week 10. He grinded out the yardage on 29 carries (3.5) with a long gain of 10 yards. | Insight: Jackson is as tough as they come but prior to Sunday's game he had only cracked 60 yards once this season, in Week 5 against Arizona. Jackson is averaging just 3.7 ypc this season, the lowest of his career, while rookie Daryl Richardson has rushed for 393 yards on 69 carries (5.7 ypc). | | |
| 10/31/2012 9:46:00 AM |
Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson has been rumored to be out on the trading block, but coach Jeff Fisher claimed that Jackson "is not going anywhere." | Insight: Jackson is averaging just 3.7 ypc, the lowest of his career and with youngster Daryl Richardson averaging 5.4 ypc there was a lot of talk. It appears the Rams will continue with their shared situation at running back. | | |
| 10/22/2012 12:58:00 PM |
Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson is dealing with his time share better than fantasy owners. After averaging 3.3 ypc over the first four games, he's averaging 4.4 ypc in the last three. | Insight: This is not good news for Jackson's fantasy owners. Jackson is more efficent with Daryl Richardson getting about 40 percent of the carries. | | |
| 10/14/2012 5:38:00 PM |
Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson was healthy, but split time evenly with rookie Daryl Richardson. | Insight: This is not good news for Jackson's fantasy owners. Miami's defense was ranked No. 1 against the run heading into the game so not much was expected of Jackson, but this new strategy, if ongoing, is a shift that will significantly reduce Jackson's fantasy value. | | |
| 10/4/2012 5:29:00 PM |
Description: Rams running back Steven Jackson is expected to play Thursday despite a nagging groin injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. | Insight: Jackson is no longer a must-start RB2. He's only rushing for 3.3 ypc this season and has yet to find the end zone. Plus, Arizona has only allowed 3.6 ypc to opposing rushers, tied for ninth stingiest in the league. | | |
| 9/30/2012 5:02:00 PM |
Description: The Rams didn't limit Steven Jackson's carries Sunday against the Seahawks but the running back was ineffective again, carrying 18 times for 55 yards. | Insight: Jackson, hampered by a groin issue in recent weeks, is only rushing for 3.3 yards per carry this season.

| 9/30/2012 10:50:00 AM |
Description: Jason La Canfora of NFL Network and CBS Sports expects injured Rams halfback Steven Jackson to participate in Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, though he could be limited. | Insight: Jackson, bothered by a groin issue in recent weeks, has only totaled 20 carries over his last two games so we'd be very weary about employing him as anything more than a flex player in Week 4. Daryl Richardson seems like a must-own handcuff to the unreliable Jackson at this point. | | |
| 9/28/2012 3:02:00 PM |
Description: St. Louis tailback Steven Jackson (groin) was very limited in practice and will be a game-time decision, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. | Insight: Coach Jeff Fisher said it would come down to how he looks and feels in pregame warmups. He's facing a tough Seattle run defense yielding just 58.7 ypg, so if you have another viable option, this might be the week to trot them out. | | |

Description: St. Louis halfback Steven Jackson (groin) is expected to play Sunday against Seattle even though he hasn't practiced this week, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. | Insight: Jackson played through his injury in Week 4 at Chicago but he only had 29 yards on 11 carries. He's a risky play again Sunday against a tough Seahawks defense. | | |
| Cold | 9/23/2012 6:02:00 PM |
Description: St. Louis halfback Steven Jackson was able to play Sunday versus Chicago but he wasn't all that effective. He tallied a mere 29 yards rushing on 11 attempts. | Insight: The Rams had to air the ball out in the second half because they were down by two scores but even before St. Louis abandoned the ground game, Jackson didn't look very impressive. He'll need a heck of an effort the rest of the season if he wants to continue his streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. | | |
| 9/23/2012 11:26:00 AM |
Description: Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports St. Louis running back Steven Jackson will play Sunday against Chicago. Jackson had been listed as questionable with a groin injury. | Insight: It will be interesting to see how cautious the Rams will be with Jackson's workload on Sunday, especially after backup Daryl Richardson blew up for 83 yards on just 15 carries last week against Washington. | | |
