Kareem Jackson Fantasy

The Denver Broncos defense won't have safety Kareem Jackson (neck, shoulder) and defensive end Shelby Harris (ankle) for Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. With how explosive the L.A. offense can be, fantasy managers should try to avoid playing the Broncos defense this week if possible, as there's a good chance the team gives up a lot of points. This also gives Chargers players like quarterback Justin Herbert and running back Austin Ekeler a higher ceiling.

The Denver Broncos re-signed safety Kareem Jackson to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Denver initially declined to pick up Jackson's $10 million 2021 option, which made him an unrestricted free agent. His re-signing is a big boost to an already strong secondary. Jackson had a career-high 89 tackles and played in all but five of the team's 1,088 defensive snaps in his 11th NFL season last year. He was ranked as the league's fifth-best safety in 2020 by Pro Football Focus. The Broncos also signed franchise-tagged All-Pro safety Justin Simmons to a long-term contract, giving the Broncos perhaps the best safety duo in the league now that Jackson is back in the fold.

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Jackson has cold-like symptoms but expects to make a full recovery. Teammate Von Miller acknowledged that he tested positive earlier this spring, but he's already made a full recovery and should be completely fine for training camp. Several other NFL players have tested positive for COVID-19 this offseason, including Saints head coach Sean Payton. The league will be implementing strict healthy and safety policies at team facilities when/if players can finally report for training camp next month. There will surely be positive cases around the league during training camp and if/when the 2020 regular season begins.
