Kareem Jackson Fantasy

Denver Broncos cornerback Kareem Jackson has seen most of his time at voluntary workouts this week at safety. "For the reason that theres more to learn at safety than there is at corner," said Broncos head coach Vic Fangio. "Hes played much more corner in his career, so I wanted him to get more work in this camp all of his work at the safety position, to feel comfortable there." The 31-year-old had a career-high 87 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, two interceptions and 17 passes defensed in his final season in Houston and should help improve Denver's secondary alongside Chris Harris Jr.

Free-agent CB Kareem Jackson (Texans) has agreed on a three-year, $33 million deal with the Denver Broncos, a source said Monday. The contract calls for $23 million in guaranteed money. The Broncos moved quick to shore up their secondary, as they ranked 20th against the pass last season with 245.6 yards per game allowed while giving up 56 pass plays of 20 or more yards. Jackson will help, as he was an absolute beast on the back end for Houston in 2018. He posted a career-high 87 combined tackles, a sack, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, two interceptions and a season-high 17 passes defensed. He'll be 31 in April, so that's a lot of money to tie up with a guy presumably headed for the back nine of his career, but he proved at 30 that he is still rather productive and Denver can use all the help they can get to help out its run D.

In Week 10, Houston recorded two sacks and picked off Blake Bortles twice, including a pick-six by cornerback Kareem Jackson on the game's opening drive. An eight-play, 92-yard touchdown drive by the Jaguars late in the game put a bit of a damper on an otherwise dominant performance by the Texans, who have allowed the fourth-fewest total yards per game to date. Houston has just eight takeaways and 19 sacks on the season, but has displayed solid value in more favorable matchups.
