With running backs like AP and Taylor, he has no reason to throw the ball much. Even more, his best WR (pretty much his only WR) last season was Bobby Wade, who only managed to put up 647 yds and 3 TDs for the whole season. Jackson only threw for something like 10 TDs, while AP and Taylor combined for some 20 TDs. Although, he was a decent QB for rushing points (I think he even got a TD or two)--if that's something that's important to people. I guess it depends whether or not you're in a dynasty league and how deep the league is. He'd be a player to watch, but I'm not sure I'd want to pick him up as a starter or a backup if I'm in a league with 10 teams. I'd probably pick him up as a backup (mainly to keep an eye on him) if the league went to 10-20 teams...and it was a no money league. I wouldn't worry so much about QBs anyway. They MIGHT have a couple good games where they get a ton of points (unless you have Tom Brady), and that's about it. For any fantasy fan, focus should be on the RBs--not as inconsistent as WRs, and they put up bigger numbers. I don’t know if I would put Tarvaris Jackson on my fantasy team.
