The Facts:
According to Greg Olson, getting Steven Jackson at least 20 touches per game, with able support (10 to 12 touches) from Marshall Faulk will be a priority. "If you can get the ball to [Jackson] 20 times or more, he seems to get better," Olson said. "We think that's a good number to shoot for. He's one of our primary weapons that needs to get (more) touches."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In 2005, his first season as the team's primary back, Jackson got as many as 20 carries just three times; he averaged 129 yards as the Rams went 3-0 in those games. Their record was 1-3 when he had 12 carries or fewer. In his limited role last year, Faulk carried 65 times and caught 44 passes. Faulk, 33, had "clean-up" surgery on both knees after his 12th NFL season and missed last month's mini-camp, but the Rams still expect him to be ready this fall.
