How do you figure? Williams has already been very productive this year. Why is Jackson 4th on the depth chart if he’s better than either Reynolds or Williams? Seems like the coaching staff isn’t seeing what you’re seeing.He may not get a lot if touches today, but when he does he is going to look better than Reynolds or Williams. If you have a wasted spot on your roster, it might be worth a flyer as he may become a hot pickup b
Williams and Reynolds are more of a "take what the line blocks for them and fall forward" guys, and complement swift better than Jackson.How do you figure?

If that’s the case it’s odd that the chargers lost interest in him and he fell behind both Williams and Reynolds on the depth chart.Williams and Reynolds are more of a "take what the line blocks for them and fall forward" guys, and complement swift better than Jackson.How do you figure?

Jackson is much better at making guys miss and hitting big plays. I'd bet he gets some usage today.
Maybe his injury history has more to do with my impression of him being less favorable.Justin Jackson has long been an underrated running back, in my opinion, one who just can't seem to stay on the field. He's been starcrossed that way.

I do recall believing he was better than Kelley at some point.

Jackson was going into his fifth year and done with his rookie contract. I think they did not want to pay him a real contract.I do recall believing he was better than Kelley at some point.
He's much better. He's also a non-traditional and outspoken guy which hasn't necessarily helped him in the league. He's probably suffered a bit for it.
But mainly injuries. I was stunned LAC didn't bring him back after his performances last year.

Still - I would think he could have worked his way up the depth chart other than by injury if he was still flashing the level of talent you & @rockaction describe.Jackson was going into his fifth year and done with his rookie contract.

Justin Jackson rushed nine times for 66 yards in the Lions’ Week 11 win over the Giants.
Jackson was the second Lions’ back to enter the game, behind Williams and ahead of Swift. He was explosive all game with the opportunities he got. He was efficient, but you shouldn’t consider him a flex play just yet with the Bills on the Horizon Thanksgiving Day.
