Jackson out until Week 10? Told ya.

According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Steven Jackson could be out until Week 10.

I challenge the world to find one fantasy expert, besides myself, who went on the record after Steven Jackson’s injury and said he would be out for more than two-three weeks. I did just that in my In my September 27th column titled “Hit the waiver wire now” and I feel confident saying I’m literally the only person on the planet who was correct about this. If I’m wrong send me the link and I’ll give you credit on my blog, but I’ve tried myself and couldn’t find one so chalk another one up for the Coach.

Incase you missed it, here’s what I said in the aforementioned article, “The Rams claim their top back will be out two-three weeks with a partial groin tear (ouch), but you’ve got to wonder if they’re downplaying the injury. The last thing the morale of a 0-3 team needs is news that their franchise back is out 5-6 weeks.”

And for the record, I was also one of the few who was on Leonard’s bandwagon prior to the season.

I'm perfectly fine giving credit where credit is due and you deserve credit for calling St. Louis downplaying S Jax's injury. But I STRONGLY disagree with you being "one of the only ones on the Leonard bandwagon." Leonard seemed to be on par with DJ Hackett and Vincent Jackson as every supposed 'experts' sexy sleeper picks.

Okay fair point, but I was riding Leonard harder than most people. I also drafted him in 75% percent of my leagues (I refuse to say how many leagues I'm in fear of being made fun of).
