From the article

Jackson has missed four or more games in three of five seasons. Jackson has won two regular-season MVP awards, and he has finished as fantasy's No. 1 QB twice (2019, 2024), but has anyone else noticed he has only one other top-10 fantasy season (he was fourth in 2023)?

Jackson missed three games with ankle injury; durability concerns persist.

Jackson recently missed three games due to a sprained ankle but might play Sunday at Buffalo in Week 8. The source expresses skepticism about Jackson's durability, noting he has missed four or more games in three of five seasons. While Jackson has won two regular-season MVP awards and finished as fantasy's No. 1 QB twice (2019, 2024), he has only one other top-10 fantasy season (fourth in 2023). The source doubts Jackson can be counted on for the rest of the season and questions whether he will start every game thereafter even if he plays Week 8.
