The Facts:
First, he took Marshall Faulk's job. Now, Jackson is going after Faulk's records. "My goal is 2,500 total yards from scrimmage," Jackson said Thursday. "And how I get it doesn't matter. But I want to get to that number."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If he does, Jackson would replace Faulk as the NFL's single-season record-holder. Faulk piled up 2,429 yards in 1999 -- 1,381 rushing, 1,048 receiving -- a season that culminated with a Rams Super Bowl championship. Only Faulk, Tiki Barber (2,390 in 2005), LaDainian Tomlinson (2,370 in 2003), and Barry Sanders (2,358 in 1997) have topped the 2,334 yards that Jackson amassed last year. Of course, with coaches hoping to decrease his workload as a receiver this year, Jackson's goal won't be any easier to achieve.
