Jackson excited for Broncos: The Broncos signed WR Darrell Jackson to a one-year contract in April, shortly after he was released after one season with San Francisco. Now he is competing to be Denver's No. 2 receiver behind Brandon Marshall and eager to prove he can produce as he did in his seven seasons with Seattle, reports the Denver Post. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he looked at Jackson's numbers with Seattle — where he left ranked No. 2 in team history in touchdown catches, third in receiving yards and fourth in catches — not at what happened in 2007. "I'm going more on what he's done in the past and how he's played in the past, and he hasn't disappointed us so far," Shanahan said. "He's a veteran who has a lot of confidence, and he should, based on the kind of production he's had." (Updated 06/12/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Denver added veteran Keary Colbert from Carolina and Samie Parker from Kansas City in the offseason for more depth at the position. With Marshall still recovering from a serious injury to his right forearm, Jackson, Colbert and Brandon Stokley have taken most of the repetitions with the first-team offense during mini-camp. Look for Jackson to win the No. 2 job. He has the chance to recapture some of his previous glory, which is why he should be considered a sleeper in deep Fantasy leagues in 2008. (Updated 06/12/2008).
