Eddie Jackson Fantasy

Chicago Bears standout safety Eddie Jackson (foot) suffered what appears to be a serious Lisfranc injury in the Week 12 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday, according to sources. Jackson is still receiving opinions on his foot, but he's considered out indefinitely and will be out in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. It's a tough loss for the Bears defense, as Jackson is one of the better safeties in the league. The 28-year-old two-time Pro Bowler has 80 tackles (59 solo), four interceptions, six passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 12 starts for Chicago this year. With his timetable unknown, he's a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. There's a good chance we won't see Jackson again this season. Elijah Hicks will see more playing time in the Bears secondary with Jackson sidelined.

Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and will play in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers. This will be a big boost to Chicago's secondary in a crucial matchup with Green Bay. Jackson has been fantasy relevant in IDP leagues in 2020 with 46 tackles, 12 assists, two passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 10 games played. The star safety sits at No. 15 among defensive backs in fantasy points and can be returned to starting lineups this weekend against a potent Green Bay passing attack that has receiver Allen Lazard back. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers should be faded in DFS with the Bears Defense allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers. He'll be a midrange QB1 with a lower ceiling in the tough matchup in single-year formats.

The Chicago Bears placed star safety Eddie Jackson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. If Jackson was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else that tested positive for the virus, he'll have a good chance of playing in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers if he continues to test negative. Losing him against Green Bay, though, could become a big issue for one of the stronger defensive units in the NFL. Jackson has also been IDP relevant as a playmaker in the secondary in 2020, ranking 14th in fantasy points at his position. The former fourth-round pick in 2017 has 58 tackles (46 solo), three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown this year.
