2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Vikings added Jackson at 24th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft to bolster an already revamped O-line, giving the team upside and youth at left guard, where he made 31 career starts at Ohio State. He also showcased emergency versatility to step in at LT, as he did down the stretch in 2024 in place of Josh Simmons. That could help Minnesota if Christian Darrisaw's recovery from a serious knee injury forces him to miss time early in the year. Read Past Outlooks
