Fantasy Impact
Having not played all season, Steven Jackson looked rusty in his first two games with the Patriots. He rushed 21 times for just 50 yards (2.38 YPC) and one touchdown. The Patriots obviously feel Jackson has something left in the tank and may need to rely on him if they are involved in any bad weather playoff games.
