J.C. Jackson Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson violated the terms of his probation, and a Massachusetts judge issued an arrest warrant on Monday after Jackson failed to appear in court last Friday. Jackson was charged with driving 100 mph in Massachusetts in 2021 while he was a member of the New England Patriots. He never paid a $600 fine or attended a four-hour class on reckless driving. Last year, he was arrested in Massachusetts in relation to a non-violent family issue and was released a day later. Jackson was also arrested in Florida in 2015 on suspicion of robbery and burglary but was found not guilty. The 27-year-old was a surprise inactive in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but it wasn't related to his off-field issue. It remains to be seen if the Chargers will discipline Jackson or if he'll play in Week 4 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee), who ended his first year with the Chargers on Injured Reserve after only five games played due to a ruptured patellar tendon, was not listed on the team's injury report on Wednesday heading into Week 1 of the regular season against the Miami Dolphins. It was a very disappointing year for the 27-year-old defensive back in 2022, even before his season-ending knee injury, but he looks set to open his second year in LA as a starter across from Asante Samuel. A Pro Bowler in his final year with the New England Patriots in 2021, Jackson will enter the 2023 campaign off the fantasy radar in IDP leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) isn't sure if he'll be ready for Week 1. "I don't want to put a projection on myself at this time," said Jackson on Tuesday. "I'm working each and everyday to be ready. Week 1 or Week 3, whatever week it is, I'm going to be ready mentally and physically." The 27-year-old signed a lucrative deal with the Chargers in March of 2022 after spending his entire career in New England. Unfortunately, he tore his patellar tendon in Week 7 of last season and has been working his way back since. Without a doubt, the team is certainly hoping Jackson is ready for the opener, although it's unlikely they'll want him back before he's ready.
