The Facts:
Eagles veterans like to say you never know what to expect in the Chip Kelly offense. Actually, you do. Unless Kelly reinvents his system one of the new wrinkles will Jackson, the king of the go route, getting some looks in the read option at running back. “There might be plays where DeSean is in the backfield, you never know,” running back LeSean McCoy said. “I mean every time we come out here it’s always something different. It’s always a surprise. So you don’t know what to look forward to.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Times staffer Bob Grotz, it’s almost guaranteed DJax will spend time in the backfield just as explosive hybrid receiver De’Anthony Thomas did for Kelly at Oregon. Grotz went on to suggest that conceptually putting the ball in Jackson’s hands is brilliant provided he’s in space. You don’t want the 175-pounder running between the tackles. In his Eagles career Jackson has 54 rushes for 371 yards (6.9 average) and three touchdowns, including one 67-yard dash for a score. Jackson is all for the extra touches. Fantasy owners won't argue.
