2024 Fantasy Outlook
Despite a fantasy-friendly skill set, Jackson hasn't established himself as a consistent asset in fantasy or reality. After putting together two intriguing seasons, Jackson's role during the 2023-24 season was reduced, limiting him to just 13.3 minutes per game. He closed with per-game averages of 6.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, resulting in him being a non-factor outside of deeper fantasy formats. On paper, there is a chance he could be the primary backup behind Myles Turner this upcoming season, potentially landing him a meaningful role for the first time in his career. However, he will likely be competing with James Wiseman and even Obi Toppin, both of whom will also be looking to prove themselves. Given the uncertainty, Jackson does not warrant a draft pick in a standard league. Managers should simply keep an eye on Jackson's playing time over the first week or two, just in case he carves out a regular backup role. Read Past Outlooks

Agrees to contract with Pacers
Jackson (Achilles) agreed to sign a three-year, $21 million contract with the Pacers on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Indiana extended a qualifying offer to Jackson earlier this offseason, and the big man is now lined up to play his fifth season with the Pacers. Jackson suffered a torn Achilles in November of last season, which restricted him to eight games, but he'll have a chance to take on a more pronounced role when healthy in 2025-26 due to the departure of Myles Turner. Over his five regular-season appearances last year, Jackson averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 16.8 minutes per game.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Much like his rookie season, Jackson flashed some upside last year but was never able to establish a consistent role. He averaged just 16.5 minutes per night, tallying 7.2 points to go with 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. Prior to his sophomore season, there had been rumblings of a Myles Turner trade, a move that many had hoped would open the door for Jackson. Fast-forward 12 months, and Turner now appears to be a long-term piece for the Pacers, putting a pin in what Jackson might be able to do. His per-minute upside remains intriguing, something that should at least keep him on the fantasy radar. While he isn't worth drafting in most leagues, if he can secure an 18-minute role as the primary backup behind Turner, he could have some sporadic streaming value throughout the season. Should Turner miss any time at any point in the season, Jackson would become someone to snap up in a hurry.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Progressing well from injury
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Jackson is progressing well from his Achilles injury, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
"I just love how hard he's worked through this whole rehab. He's kept a very upbeat attitude, as has James Wiseman," Carlisle said. "Those guys have worked extremely hard with Jim Boylen like every day since they've been on the court." Carlisle expressed optimism that Jackson could potentially be ready go by training camp. The big man, who just signed a three-year, $21 million contract to return to Indiana, could offer a ton of upside in fantasy if he wins the starting center job for his shot-blocking prowess.
