Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Commanders in October of 2025.
Not activated for Week 11
Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Jackson mustered a pair of limited practices after having his 21-day window to return to practice opened Thursday. He won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game, so Jackson will have additional time to recover during Washington's Week 12 bye before the Commanders return home to host the Broncos on Nov. 30.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Year 3 breakout candidate
Jackson could break out with a larger role in his third NFL season on San Francisco's revamped defensive front, according to Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers parted ways with Arik Armstead, Chase Young, Javon Kinlaw and Clelin Ferrell in the offseason, and while the team brought in veteran Leonard Floyd, there should still be more opportunities left over for Jackson to take on a larger role. With Nick Bosa drawing consistent double teams, Jackson could thrive as a pass rusher in one-on-one matchups. Jackson had 3.0 sacks and 14 pressures in 2023 but didn't play after Week 8 due to a knee injury.
