Jackson named as fantasy football sleeper

Green Bay Packers rookie running back Brandon Jackson of the University of Nebraska has been tabbed as a "fantasy football sleeper" by The NFL Guru.

According to analyst Brian Ethridge, "For the first few weeks expect Jackson and Vernand Morency to split carries–When week 5 comes around Jackson should start to see 80% of the carries."

Ethridge gets awful specific. Railbird Central definitely thought Jackson would take over the no. 1 running back duties midway through the third quarter of week three when a Vernand Morency injury and a key Noah Herron fumble elevated Jackson off the bench.
