As part of Houston's retooled secondary, cornerback Kareem Jackson is going to shift to safety, allowing Kevin Johnson to move outside and newly-signed Aaron Colvin to remain a slot corner. Incumbent starting safety Andre Hal was recently diagnosed with Hodkin's Lymphoma, so Jackson will add veteran depth alongside rookie Justin Reid and Tyrann Mathieu. (Aaron Wilson)
Fantasy Impact
Jackson's coverage ability has eroded badly. Pro Football Focus graded him as the 95th-ranked cornerback in football in 2017. Jackson is known as a hard-hitter and it's not unusual for corners to move to safety in the latter stages of their career. It's likely a positive move for all involved.
