Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Fills stat sheet in start
Rotowire
Jackson registered 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to Atlanta.
Jackson made the most of Indiana's depleted backcourt, delivering an excellent defensive performance while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer. With Andrew Nembhard (neck) and several other rotation players unavailable, Jackson handled an expanded role and nearly helped the Pacers complete a late comeback. His six combined steals and blocks made this an especially productive fantasy outing, though his workload could shrink as Indiana gets healthier.
Jackson will start in Monday's game against the Hawks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Jackson will earn his first start of the season with Indiana dressing just eight players. He's scored a combined 36 points over his last two outings, so head coach Rick Carlisle may rely on him heavily to help the Pacers try and snap a four-game losing streak.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Scores in double digits again
Rotowire
Jackson notched 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Nets.
Jackson hasn't started a game for the Pacers this season, but he looks set to earn more playing time soon if he keeps this up. He's notched 36 points, seven rebounds, three assists and five made three-pointers over his last two appearances. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) out for the time being, Jackson could be a player worth keeping close tabs on in deep formats if you need backcourt depth.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Leading scorer from second unit Friday
Rotowire
Jackson contributed 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 145-125 loss to Miami.
The 24 points led the Pacers on the night, and the performance fell one point shy of the career high he set Nov. 1, 2025 against the Warriors. Jackson came into the night having scored just 25 total points in his first five games of the season, but with Indiana's backcourt shredded by injuries to Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and others, Jackson should continue seeing an elevated role in the short term. On the season, the fifth-year guard is averaging 8.2 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 boards and 1.2 steals in 19.3 minutes.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Plays 27 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Jackson contributed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Bucks.
Jackson struggled to make an impact offensively despite receiving significant playing time with Andrew Nembhard (neck) unavailable. The guard attempted just three shots and failed to record a steal or block, limiting his fantasy contributions. Jackson could continue seeing additional minutes while Indiana's backcourt remains shorthanded, but his inconsistent scoring makes him a risky option outside deeper leagues.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Notches 21 points in finale
Rotowire
Jackson ended with 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.
Jackson ended his regular season with a bang as one of three Pacers to eclipse 20 points. Jackson made a total of 49 appearances in 2025-26, averaging 9.1 points, 2.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes per contest. He will not be guaranteed a role in 2026-27, with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) set to return.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Scores 16 points Friday
Rotowire
Jackson logged 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 105-94 loss to the 76ers.
Jackson didn't have his best shooting performance, as he needed 15 shots to score 16 points and also drained just 25 percent of his three-pointers, but he still delivered a decent stat line from a fantasy perspective. Jackson has embraced a bigger role in the Pacers' last few games since most of the regulars are being rested or sidelined with minor injuries. He's scored at least 15 points in three of his last five appearances while scoring in double digits in five of seven outings since moving to a starting role back in March 29.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Gets standard contract with Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers converted Jackson's two-way contract to a three-year deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jackson has played on a two-way contract in each of the last three years, but his strong play this season has led to the Pacers rewarding the four-year pro with a standard contract that is partially guaranteed next season and non-guaranteed for the third year, per Tony East of Forbes.com. Jackson has scored in double digits in six of his last seven outings (one start), and over that span he has averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 threes over 24.1 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Across-the-board production
Rotowire
Jackson racked up 19 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 overtime win over the Knicks.
Jackson chipped in across all major categories, taking advantage of what could end up being a nice opportunity. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, there is a world where Jackson could have a meaningful role moving forward. Coupled with the fact that Indiana is likely to rest players on a consistent basis, managers could certainly give Jackson a look as a speculative fantasy piece.
