3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson could see extended opportunities in Week 16 versus the Houston Texans with starting running back Austin Ekeler currently on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The Texans run defense has been exploited all season long and is allowing 125 yards and over a touchdown per game on the ground. They have been successful preventing running backs from doing much in the passing game with just four receptions for 25 yards, but Jackson still has an appetizing matchup on Sunday. Jackson would likely see the bulk of the work if Ekeler were to miss Week 16, with Joshua Kelley also getting into the mix. Should Ekeler be sidelined, fantasy managers should consider Jackson an RB2 with upside in a favorable matchup.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
