  • Returning in 2023

    Jackson signed his exclusive rights deal with the Colts on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Jackson will return to the Colts on the league minimum salary in 2023. The 23-year-old running back rushed 68 times for 236 yards and one touchdown while catching 30 of 34 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown this season. Jackson will likely be limited to a depth role in the fall unless injuries deplete the Colts' backfield depth again.

  • Just three touches

    Jackson had three carries for 10 yards in Sunday's loss at the Giants.

    Analysis: Jackson played just 14 snaps on offense and fell to third in carries behind starter Zack Moss and Jordan Wilkins. Three weeks ago, Jackson looked set to be the starter if Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt. However, Jackson has fallen out of favor after Taylor's season-ending ankle injury and now may be a third-stringer. It will be hard to count on many touches for Jackson even in a meaningless season finale against Houston.

  • Plays limited role sans Taylor

    Jackson had zero carries but caught all three targets for nine yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on IR, Jackson was expected to see an increased workload. However, his first reception went for a nine-yard loss in the first quarter, and he didn't touch the ball again until the Colts' final offensive possession. He tied Jordan Wilkins with just eight offensive snaps, as Zack Moss (36) dominated the backfield work. The entire offense struggled Monday night, but it was disappointing to see Jackson completely uninvolved until the final minutes. Even if he sees more…read more

  • Likely to rotate with Zack Moss

    Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said that Jackson will likely be part of a rotation out of the backfield with Zack Moss during Monday's game against the Chargers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After Jonathan Taylor (ankle) exited early in last Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings with what proved to be a season-ending injury, Jackson ranked a distant second to Moss in terms of snap share. Jackson finished the day with 25 snaps (31.6 percent) and logged 13 carries for 55 yards to go with a one-yard touchdown reception, while Moss took 53 snaps (67.1 percent) and carried 24 times for 81 yards while going without a target. Saturday said that the Colts' starting running back for…read more

  • Should get larger role sans Taylor

    Jackson and Zack Moss are expected to serve as the Colts' primary options out of the backfield for the final three games of the season with Jonathan Taylor considered unlikely to suit up again after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings, Matt Adams and Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis report.

    Analysis: Taylor played just two snaps Saturday before exiting the contest with what will likely end up being a season-ending injury, and the Colts were able to find plenty of work for both Jackson and Moss while the team held a double-digit lead for more than three quarters before the Vikings completed an improbable and historic comeback. Moss (24 carries for 81 yards) ended up leading the way, but Jackson (13 carries for 55 yards plus a one-yard touchdown reception) was more efficient with his…read more

  • Catches TD after Taylor injury

    Jackson rushed 13 times for 55 yards and caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Jackson watched Zack Moss take over for the remainder of the opening drive after Jonathan Taylor (ankle) got injured on his first touch. After Moss was stuffed by the goal line, Jackson checked in to start the team's next possession and wound up capping it with a one-yard touchdown catch. Jackson finished the game with 13 carries to Moss's 24, and they would likely remain in a timeshare against the Chargers in Week 16 if Taylor fails to recover from his injury by then.

  • Just two carries in loss

    Jackson had two carries for six yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

    Analysis: Jackson played on eight of the offense's 72 snaps. He's the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor after the trade of Nyheim Hines to Buffalo, but Taylor is playing nearly every down under new head coach Jeff Saturday.

  • No touches in loss

    Jackson failed to record a single rush or target in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Jackson played just four of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps Monday. Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor handled the vast majority of work out of the backfield, playing all but five offensive snaps in the contest. Taylor rushed 20 times for 86 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 12 yards. Barring an injury to Taylor, Jackson should operate as a change-of-pace back going forward. However, the 23-year-old will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with such limited opportunities.…read more

  • Four catches in loss to Philly

    Jackson rushed once for seven yards and caught all four of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: A healthy Jonathan Taylor got the vast majority of the Colts' rushing attempts, racking up 84 yards on 22 carries. Matt Ryan tried to get Jackson involved as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but the Eagles' sure tackling prevented Jackson from contributing much in that regard. The 23-year-old running back has taken on the change-of-pace role vacated by the traded Nyheim Hines, though the jury is still out on whether Jackson can replicate Hines' effectiveness as a receiver.

  • Returning to action in Week 11

    Jackson (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Even though Jackson is set to put an end to a two-game absence due to a knee injury, he'll be playing second fiddle, at best, in a Colts backfield dominated by a now healthy Jonathan Taylor. Jackson has shown prowess as a pass catcher, though, having hauled in 16 of 17 passes for 121 yards this season, so he may slide into the role previously held by Nyheim Hines, who was dealt to the Bills at the trade deadline.

  • Limited in return to practice

    Jackson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: When he was last on the field for the Colts' Week 9 loss to the Patriots, Jackson handled the lead role out of the backfield but mustered only 36 total yards on 13 touches. He also injured his knee during that contest and was forced to sit out the Colts' win over the Raiders, when top back Jonathan Taylor returned from a one-game absence and delivered one of his best performances of the season. Though Jackson's return to practice gives him a shot at being available this weekend against the…read more

  • Not practicing

    Jackson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson missed the Colts' 25-20 win over Las Vegas last Sunday, while Jonathan Taylor returned from an ankle injury to play 94 percent of the snaps while taking 22 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown. Taylor will lead the backfield again this Sunday against Philadelphia, with Zack Moss and Jordan Wilkins providing depth if Jackson isn't ready to suit up.

  • Ruled out for Week 10

    Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) having practiced fully Thursday and Friday, the Colts are in line to have their top back available this weekend. Taylor's return helps soften the blow of the absence of Jackson, who now looks to be the team's top backup running back after last week's trade that sent Nyheim Hines to Buffalo. With Jackson out of the mix for Week 10, however, the Colts' backup options are newcomer Zack Moss as well as current practice-squad members Jordan Wilkins and Jake Funk.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Jackson (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After serving as the Colts' lead back in last week's loss to the Patriots while Jonathan Taylor (ankle) missed his third game of the season, Jackson now appears to be the worst health among the two backs. Taylor returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant before upgrading to full activity Thursday, while Jackson didn't log any reps for the second day in a row. Jackson could still put himself in position to play Sunday in Las Vegas if he manages some practice activity Friday, but…read more

  • Not practicing to start week

    Jackson was held out of practice Wednesday with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to practice as a limited participant after missing a 26-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Jackson was the lead back in that game but finished with only 36 yards on 13 touches in an ugly outing for the Indianapolis offense in what turned out to be Frank Reich's final game as head coach. It's possible Jackson gets another start Sunday in Las Vegas, but only if he makes progress later in the week while Taylor heads the other direction.

  • Only 36 yards on 13 touches

    Jackson rushed the ball 11 times for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

    Analysis: Jackson served as the Colts' primary running back with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Zack Moss (coach's decision) both inactive. Despite dominating touches out of the backfield, he managed very little production as the team's offense was stalled for the entire game. It's unclear how long Taylor may be sidelined, but even if he misses a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, it's difficult to trust Jackson to produce given the poor state of the Colts offense.

  • In line to fill in for Taylor

    With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and newcomer Zack Moss inactive, per JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site, Jackson is line for an expanded role Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: The Colts' Week 9 backfield will also include practice squad elevations Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins, but in Taylor's absence, Jackson should lead the team's ground game Sunday. In that context, Jackson qualifies as a fantasy lineup option for those needing a replacement for Taylor or who are looking for some added short-term running back depth with six NFL teams currently on bye.

  • Slated for expanded role Sunday

    Jackson is expected to start and take on an expanded role Sunday against the Patriots with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out for the contest, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the Colts are likely to elevate Phillip Lindsay from their practice squad ahead of the contest, with newcomer Zack Moss' role this weekend to be determined. Also currently on the team's practice squad are D'Vonte Price and Jordan Wilkins. With that in mind, Jackson profiles as a fantasy lineup option for those looking to find a replacement for Taylor or seeking some Week 9 running back depth with six NFL teams on bye.

    Jackson lost four yards on his lone carry in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Jackson played just two snaps on offense as he has a limited reserve role with both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines healthy.

  • Moves back to minimal role

    Jackson had two carries for three yards in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Jackson played just five snaps on offense as he's moved back to a deep reserve role with both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) returning from injury. Jackson had 29 total touches for 222 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in two games with Taylor out, so he still could have fantasy value if pressed into a larger role. However, Jackson may get few touches on offense with both Taylor and Hines healthy.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Jackson (quadriceps) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jackson was forced out of Indianapolis' Week 6 win over the Jaguars due to a quadriceps injury, but he appears to have avoided a major issue and should be good to go for a Week 7 matchup with the Titans. However, after racking up 39 total touches for 222 yards and a touchdown over his last two appearances, Jackson may drop to third in the backfield pecking order, as Jonathan Taylor (ankle) logged another limited practice and Nyheim Hines (concussion) fully participated Wednesday. Regardless,…read more

    Analysis: While the extent of the running back's participation isn't yet officially known, Boyd relays that Jackson, along with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion), participated Wednesday in their normal practice gear. With Taylor and Hines combining to play three snaps over the Colts' last two games due to their injuries, Jackson has been a stellar replacement, totaling 39 touches for 222 yards and one score. However, Jackson picked up a quad issue late in the team's Week 6 win over…read more

  • Injures quad Sunday

    Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining a quad injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Jackson logged 12 carries for 42 yards and a TD and caught all 10 of his targets for 79 yards. With fellow running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) out Sunday, Jackson led the Colts' Week 6 rushing attack, but now his status will need to be monitored in advance of next weekend's game against the Titans.

  • Should play more sans Taylor, Hines

    Jackson is expected to benefit from an expanded workload for the second game in a row with fellow backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) having both been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, The Associated Press reports. "What we're looking for is consistency in performance. We think Deon can provide that if needed," head coach Frank Reich said Friday, before Taylor and Hines were downgraded to out Saturday. "We feel like Deon took a major step [Week 5 against Denver]. I don't think he surprised us."

    Analysis: When Taylor sat out against Denver and when Hines exited after playing just three snaps, Jackson stepped up to take on the largest workload of his career. He played 44 snaps (60 percent) on offense in the 12-9 overtime win, carrying 13 times for 62 yards while adding four receptions for 29 yards on four targets. Meanwhile, Phillip Lindsay played 36 percent of the snaps in that game and totaled 54 yards from scrimmage on his 14 touches (11 carries, three receptions), and the Colts have elevated…read more

  • Solid with extended opportunity

    Jackson rushed 13 times for 62 yards and brought in all four targets for 29 yards in the Colts' 12-9 overtime win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Jackson stepped up with a team-high rushing yardage tally in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and also put in impressive work as a receiver. The undrafted second-year back was also the beneficiary of extra opportunity due to Nyheim Hines' early exit from the game with a concussion, and he outproduced veteran backfield mate Phillip Lindsay by 22 rushing yards on only two additional carries.

  • Limited to special teams

    Jackson did not play any snaps on offense and played 15 snaps on special teams in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.

    Analysis: While he's the No. 3 running back on the depth chart, the Colts appear set to only give meaningful touches to Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines as long as both remain healthy.

    Jackson made the Colts' 53-man roster as the No. 3 running back, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was a surprise winner of the competition over Phillip Lindsay, D'Vonte Price and Ty'Son Williams. However, Jackson won't get many snaps on offense as long as Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines remain healthy. He may see almost all his action on special teams.

  • Impresses in preseason finale

    Jackson had four carries for three yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win over Tampa Bay. He also had three receptions on four targets for 34 yards.

    Analysis: With Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines being held out of the preseason finale, it was a surprise that Jackson got the start and played along starting quarterback Matt Ryan. While Jackson had a strong performance, he still may not make the final 53-man roster with Phillip Lindsay likely to win the No. 3 running back role.

  • Minimal playing time in 2021

    Jackson rushed 13 times for 31 yards and a touchdown across nine appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: Jackson established himself as the Colts' No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines during the second half of the 2021 campaign, but he still played primarily on special teams. While the 22-year-old reached the end zone Week 13, Jackson wasn't a reliable fantasy contributor while serving in a depth role.

  • First touchdown of career

    Jackson rushed six times for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Jackson capped off a nine-play, 40-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run -- the first of his career -- to extend the Colts' lead to 31-0 late in the fourth quarter. The rookie has only been seen the field in garbage time this year, and the primary handcuffs to Jonathan Taylor likely remain Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack; therefore, Jackson doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration.

  • Gets six carries in win

    Jackson had six carries for 12 yards in Sunday's win at Buffalo.

    Analysis: Jackson played seven snaps on offense as he got some touches amid a blowout win. Jackson is serving as the third running back over Marlon Mack because Jackson plays on special teams. If Jonathan Taylor of Nyheim Hines were to get hurt, it's likely Mack who would be active on game days instead of Jackson.

    Jackson was signed to the Colts' active roster ahead of Thursday's Week 9 matchup against the Jets.
