2025 Projections
Signed a contract with the Lions in August of 2025.
Catches on with Detroit
The Lions signed Jackson to a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson recently played in the UFL with the DC Defenders and posted 441 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 83 carries while adding seven catches for 39 yards. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2023, when he appeared in four games between the Colts (two), Browns and Giants (one game each), and logged 14 carries for 16 yards. Jackson's addition solidifies the Lions' backfield depth while Sione Vaki (leg) is sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Jackson saw extensive work last season when Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines missed playing time (and Hines was later traded). In 16 games, the 24-year-old rushed 68 times for 236 yards and a touchdown while catching 30 of 34 targets for 209 yards and a receiving score. Jackson is seen as a capable pass catcher out of the backfield, so he could potentially win a role off the bench in passing situations. After returning for the veteran minimum, however, he's not a lock to make the roster, with 2023 fifth-round draft pick Evan Hull also in the mix for the Colts' No. 3 running back role.
