The Facts:
Many teams did their best to take Torry Holt out of the offense in 2006 by rolling coverages to his side of the field and forcing Marc Bulger to take more underneath passes. That worked out just fine for Jackson to become more involved in the passing game, but with new TE Randy McMichael and WR Drew Bennett in the fold, the Rams would like to see Jackson with closer to 60 or 70 catches than 90.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's worth noting that Jackson, who had 436 touches (346 carries and the above-mentioned 90 catches), admitted earlier this year that
last season's workload was a bit much. And even though he enjoys his burgeoning role as the centerpiece of the Rams' offense, Jackson isn't averse to sharing the workload a bit. "I just don't want to burn myself out too fast," he said. ... Not good news for Fantasy owners in PPR scoring systems, but not enough to keep Jackson out of our top-5.
