Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Three rejections against Jazz
Rotowire
Jackson ended Tuesday's 137-128 victory over Utah with 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes.
The 26-year-old forward was productive once again, scoring more than 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games while recording multiple steals or blocks, or both, for the eighth time in nine December contests. On the month, Jackson is averaging 16.8 points, 5.7 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 threes.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Scores 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Jackson produced 22 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes of Saturday's 130-122 loss to Washington.
Jackson was a bright spot for Memphis, but the team had a miserable finish to this game and snapped a two-game winning streak. Jackson is currently trending up, posting averages of 27.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 2.7 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers over his last three games.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Double-doubles with three swats
Rotowire
Jackson went off for 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 win over the Timberwolves.
Jackson had his best rebounding game of the season as he notched his first double-double of the year, and he was superb on defense, helping hold Julius Randle to 9-for-21 shooting from the floor. While the Grizzlies opened the season 4-11, they've gone 9-3 over their past 12 games and will have a chance to get their record to .500 Saturday versus the Wizards.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Logs season-high 31 points
Rotowire
Jackson closed with 31 points (13-18 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, five blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Clippers.
Fantasy managers have patiently waited for Jackson to explode, and he paid off with his best scoring total of the season versus the Clippers. Rebound totals have been disappointing for Jackson, who hasn't recorded a double-digit result in the category this season, but the scoring production was encouraging after a four-game run where he averaged only 9.5 points per game.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Struggles offensively in win
Rotowire
Jackson ended Sunday's 119-96 victory over the Trail Blazers with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 24 minutes.
Jackson has scored in single digits in two of his past three games, but he does have seven steals and two blocks during that stretch. Even with Ja Morant (calf) sidelined, Jackson hasn't been able to take advantage offensively, averaging 17.0 points per game, which would be his lowest mark since 2021-22.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Season-low seven points Tuesday
Rotowire
Jackson chipped in seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs.
It was perhaps a season-worst effort by Jackson, whose seven points were a season low. The star big man has averaged 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest in 20 games this season, and it's possible his fantasy upside will improve once Ja Morant (calf) returns to lift some of the playmaking pressure off Jackson's shoulders.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Nets season-high 27 points in win
Rotowire
Jackson recorded 27 points (9-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 133-128 overtime win in New Orleans.
While it wasn't the most efficient scoring performance, Jackson still notched a new season high in points and racked up four stocks after failing to record any defensive stats his last time out. He also finished without any turnovers, which is just the third time that's happened this season.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Another ho-hum performance
Rotowire
Jackson provided 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-115 loss to the Nuggets.
Jackson continues to be nothing but adequate, as Memphis fell to its sixth loss in the past eight games. Despite being relatively healthy, Jackson simply hasn't been able to get any forward momentum, averaging 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers through 16 games, putting him well outside the top 100 in standard fantasy formats.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Jackson will shed his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old forward's return will likely result in fewer minutes for Santi Aldama, John Konchar and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Over his last five games, Jackson has averaged 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jackson will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Nuggets. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Santi Aldama, John Konchar and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates for increased playing time.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Doubtful for Saturday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Dallas.
A sprained ankle is likely to cost Jackson a second contest in a row. With the star big man not expected to play Saturday, Santi Aldama should draw the start at power forward. More playing time is likely to be available for the versatile Vince Williams as well.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Officially out
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Kings, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Jackson was initially added to the injury as doubtful with a right ankle sprain, and the team has since downgraded him to out. His absence should allow for Santi Aldama and John Konchar to see an increase in chances Thursday night. Jackson has had a rough start to the season, posting his lowest per-game numbers in points, rebounds, steals and blocks since 2022-23.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Not expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Kings due to a sprained right ankle.
Jackson presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. Assuming the star big man is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to return would be Saturday in Dallas. Santi Aldama figures to jump into the starting lineup at power forward Thursday, while John Konchar is likely to see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Puts up 18 in loss
Rotowire
Jackson totaled 18 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 loss to the Spurs.
Jackson did not shoot well from the field and failed to reach the free-throw line for the first time all season, but he was still able to put up 18 points. With Ja Morant (calf) out for two weeks, Jackson will be involved a lot more offensively and needs to be more efficient with the ball if he wants to help Memphis win games.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Season-high 26 points
Rotowire
Jackson provided 26 points (6-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.
Jackson tallied a season-high 26 points, despite shooting a woeful 26.1 percent from the floor. With Ja Morant exiting the game during the first quarter due to a calf injury, Jackson was saddled with more responsibility on the offensive end. While his defensive numbers have been somewhat underwhelming, he could be in for a short-term scoring bump should Morant be forced to miss additional time.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Struggles with foul trouble in loss
Rotowire
Jackson produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 loss to Boston.
Foul trouble has been a major issue for Jackson this season, and Wednesday was no different, with him racking up three fouls in his first 12 minutes of play and finishing with five. He's averaging a career-high 4.2 fouls through the first 13 games of the season, and that's been impacting Jackson's playing time, with him currently averaging just 28.8 minutes a night. There's top-30 upside here, but he just can't seem to get out of his own way through these early-season struggles.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Scores 17 points Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson finished with 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Oklahoma City.
Jackson didn't have his best shooting performance, but the big man still posted a solid stat line due to his contributions in peripheral stats. This was the third time he posted multiple blocks in his last four games, and Jackson will continue to be valuable in fantasy as long as he keeps doing three simple things: score as the Grizzlies' second option behind Ja Morant, block shots and crash the glass. Over that four-game stretch, Jackson is averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per contest.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Efficient in win Friday
Rotowire
Jackson registered 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-104 win over the Mavericks.
Jackson delivered a bounce-back performance Friday after putting up a season-low nine points in a loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. Jackson has been consistent as a reliable offensive weapon for the Grizzlies and has reached the 15-point mark in all but one game this season. He has the potential to score at an even higher rate if needed, but at least, he's delivering a solid floor every time he steps on the hardwood.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Nets 21 points with two blocks
Rotowire
Jackson closed Monday's 114-106 loss to the Pistons with 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Jackson hadn't collected any defensive stats in his previous two outings, but he snapped the defensive donut streak early in this game, stuffing Jalen Duren at the rim. He's never going to be a good rebounder, but he'll score efficiently while chipping in some triples and defensive stats, which gives him a top-50 floor.
