2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-08-2012 by Matt De Lima

When it was announced that Fred Jackson would be placed on injured reserve last season, he was a Top 5 running back. Through the first 10 games, he averaged 92 rushing yards per game and solid PPR numbers. Despite the late emergence of C.J. Spiller last season, make no mistake, Jackson is Buffalo's lead back. The Bills drafted three offensive linemen this offseason, two of which have a decent shot to begin the year as starters which can only help when he returns. Jackson may be 31 years old, but only he and Dallas' DeMarco Murray had over 150 carries and averaged 5.5 yards per carry last season. Due to his injury, Jackson is a great value selection if he slips into the fifth round.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	5.10	Bleacher Report
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	4.03	DraftSharks.com - This is Tiki Barber 2.0. Jackson was awesome before his injury -- even awesomer than C.J. Spiller was as a fill-in afterward. Pro Football Focus rated Jackson the best all-around RB in the league last year. And the injury (broken leg) isn't the type that lingers. The lack of early-career carries is much more important than his age.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	4.02	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Tempted to select Vick, but I want to play out the waiting on a QB thing. Plus, F-Jax has skills.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	3.11	FansFantasyFootball.com - I was going Cam here but my good friends at KFFL decided to throw cold water on that one. Fred Jackson was great for 10 weeks last year and even with CJ Spiller looming this is as good as it gets a RB at the end of round 3
