SJAX finished with 85 yards rushing and 25 yards receiving in a 38-10 shellacking against MIN today. It's sad to see him limited like this by being on such a bad football team, but he doesn't help his own cause by losing ANOTHER fumble at the goal line. You can't score if you keep giving the ball away at the 1.

Season isn't over yet, but 11 weeks in:

Forte is trash.
- 516 yards (3.3 y/c), 3 TD's
- 42 receptions, 399 yards

Slaton was benched for Ryan Moats at one point.
- 359 yards (3.1 y/c), 3 TD's
- 32 receptions, 326 yards, 3 TD's

Turner was great, but now is injured (part of the reason this thread tells not to draft Jackson).
- 831 yards (5.0 y/c), 10 TD's
- 5 receptions, 35 yards

Jackson has been excellent, despite having no talent around him. The touchdowns haven't been there until recently, however.
- 1031 yards (4.8 y/c), 3 TD's
- 35 receptions, 231 yards

Jackson has been excellent, regardless of whether the TDs had been there or not. I was actually working a trade for him until a better one came through. No doubt about it - put him on a competent team and there are few better.

I still think my initial assertion of not to use your top draft pick on him was an accurate one, since he could have been had for much less in a trade later on. However, as you point out, there have been very few first round RBs who lived up to their ADP.
