PROJECTED POINTS: 21.0
Michelle: I am putting my big girl pants on for this take. Jackson has been playing lights out this season, logging 21-plus fantasy points in all but two games. But this week, he heads to Pittsburgh to face the rival Steelers, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season.
Over Jackson’s four career starts against the Steelers, he’s turned the ball over 10 times, while only throwing four passing touchdowns and scoring zero rushing TDs. Jackson has scored fewer than 15 fantasy points in three of the four matchups against Pittsburgh, with 17.6 points (Week 13, 2021) being his highest total. Last year, in his second MVP season, he scored just 9.9 fantasy points against the Steelers in Week 5 with zero touchdowns and two turnovers in the game.
