Buy Fred Jackson

I’m not sure we can hype Fred Jackson any more than we have over the offseason here at numberFire, but here’s your final plug: Fred Jackson is undervalued in pretend pigskin.

Many worry about his age, but plenty said the same about him last year. All he did was finish as a top-10 fantasy running back.

The truth is, age doesn’t really matter for Fred Jackson, and his playing for a team that will surely be one of the most run-heavy in the league this year is nothing but a good thing. He’s also the Bills’ red-zone running back, so there’s plenty of touchdown upside.

Today is the day to buy Fred Jackson. He’ll face a Bears defense in Week 1 that was historically bad in 2013, and even with some improvements up front, they could still struggle in 2014. Jackson owners may have only selected him because he fell in drafts, resulting in fair prices for the veteran runner.
