2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson spent the first six years of his career in Carolina but was traded to the Steelers during the offseason as part of the trade that sent Diontae Johnson to the Panthers. Jackson appeared in all but one game last season and logged 59 tackles (49 solo), five pass defenses and a forced fumble. The Steelers parted ways with Patrick Peterson during the offseason, so Jackson should slot in as one of the team's top options at cornerback alongside second-year player Joey Porter in 2024.

Impresses in Steelers debut
Jackson recorded two total tackles (one solo) and two passes defended, including one interception, during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was traded from the Panthers to Steelers earlier this past offseason, and he impressed in Week 1 with his new team. The 28-year-old cornerback tied DeShon Elliott for the team lead in both passes defended and interceptions Sunday, and Jackson's pick put the Steelers in the driver's seat in the fourth quarter. Expect Jackson to continue lining up opposite Joey Porter and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

Mike Evans has to slow down eventually, but probably not against Washington's undersized boundary corners.
The Steelers are rebooting under center in 2024, moving on from Kenny Pickett to some combination of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Whoever claims the title of starter will get to throw to WR George Pickens.
The Bryce Young-era in Carolina got off to a rocky start, to say the least. With better skill talent around him this season, he seems better positioned to fulfill his status as the No. 1 draft pick from 2023.

A long-time starter at cornerback for the Panthers, Jackson endured an abbreviated 2022 campaign due to a torn Achilles suffered in November. The injury sidelined him after he tallied 35 tackles and two interceptions (one pick-six) in nine games. After restructuring his contract this offseason, Jackson is staying in Carolina in 2023, when new coordinator Ejiro Evero will take charge of the defense. Once he's healthy, Jackson figures to start opposite the team's top CB Jaycee Horn.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team open to trading him
The Panthers are open to trading Jackson before the Oct. 31 NFL trade deadline, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
At 0-6, the Panthers are thinking long-term as 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young develops at quarterback. Jackson, who will turn 28 on Nov. 8, doesn't fit the team's timeline. The veteran cornerback has yet to record an interception in 2023, but he recorded multiple interceptions in each of his previous five NFL seasons, all with the Panthers.
