SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #20   
Overall: #62


Jackson had the third 1,000-yard season of his career, giving him three the last four seasons. He was the top big-play threat in the Chargers' offense once again, averaging an impressive 18.4 yards per reception. Jackson had four 100-yard games. He was a little erratic because of his big-play ways, though, having eight games with 50-plus yards and eight with fewer than 50 yards. He can be a little boom or bust. Jackson heads to Tampa this season to serve as their go-to receiver in the offense. He probably isn't as great of a fit for this offense but will get plenty of chances from Josh Freeman. Jackson is a big receiver with good leaping ability and plus speed. He isn't a polished route runner but has improved in this area through the years.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Jackson probably will be overvalued some this season. His numbers should regress in a move to a less explosive team. He can still get around 1,000 yards and eight or so scores but don't expect a monster season with his new team. Consider him a top No. 2 more than anything.
The addition of WR Vincent Jackson to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense immediately gives the team the No. 1 wide receiver the team and fans were looking for. Jackson, at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, is a big target with surprising speed and an ability to get open downfield. The team said in January they would spend whatever it takes to win in the future, and they did just that as soon as the free-agent market opened. Buccaneers wide receivers struggled to get open last year, leading to a poor season by QB Josh Freeman. With Jackson, 29, in town, the hope is he will draw the attention of opposing defenses and open things up for WRs Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn, who become the second and third receivers, respectively. The Buccaneers have also made it clear they are building the team around Freeman, and considering they are looking at high-profile offensive linemen they may not be done spending money yet.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached a five-year deal with free-agent WR Vincent Jackson (Chargers). It is worth $55.55 million, which includes $26 million in guaranteed money. Jackson will land $36 million in the first three years of the contract, including $26 million in the first two years.
Fantasy Impact: The Bucs get a legit No. 1 receiver but this signing probably isn't great for the fantasy value of Jackson. Expect a dip in production in a much less explosive offense. Don't overpay for him come draft day.

The San Diego Chargers might go as high as $11 million per year, as they try to keep impending free-agent WR Vincent Jackson from hitting the open market Tuesday, March 13. The Chargers offense is a comfortable place for Jackson, which is a big part of why he is willing to take less from the Chargers than another team.

The San Francisco 49ers will show interest in San Diego Chargers impending free-agent WR Vincent Jackson and Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free-agent WR Mike Wallace but will not overpay for either player.

The Oakland Raiders could go after a big-name free-agent wide receiver like Vincent Jackson (Chargers) during the free-agent market. Adding a player like Jackson would give QB Carson Palmer a solid No. 1 target and take pressure off of the team's other wide receivers. The Raiders don't have a ton of room to work with under the salary cap, so Jackson would have to be willing to take more money later in his deal.
