Joe Jackson News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas State Wildcats

Workhorse outing yet again Jackson had 26 carries for 142 yards and three touchdowns and caught their only target for negative one yard during Saturday's 24-14 win versus Colorado.

Impact Jackson recorded three rushing touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He's a league-winner type back with a combined 50 carries for 435 yards and six touchdowns in Kansas State's last two games. With the win against Colorado, Jackson's 2025 campaign is not over yet as they will play in a bowl game. With the recent surge, he has a great shot at eclipsing 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his career. He currently has 169 carries for 911 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with 22 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets.

Breaks school rushing record Jackson notched 24 carries for 293 yards and three touchdowns and caught 1 of 3 targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 51-47 defeat to Utah.

Impact Jackson exploded for three touchdown runs and racked up enough rushing yards in a single game to break Darren Sproles' school record. Jackson had touchdown runs of 24, 66, and 80 yards. It was by far the best performance of his career, and it follows the previous game where he added the go-ahead touchdown against Oklahoma State. Jackson enters the regular season finale as a must-start in fantasy leagues as his volume is elite and he's finding success behind an improving offensive line. He's also been extremely active in the passing game all year long with 21 catches (on 30 targets) for 120 yards and a touchdown. Kansas State will play Colorado next week which is a strong matchup for Jackson.

Game-winning TD against Cowboys Jackson notched 14 rushes for 69 yards and one touchdown and caught 3 of 4 targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 14-6 win versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Jackson's third touchdown of the season was a huge one as it ended up being the game-winner in the fourth quarter. The 15-yard scoring play came on a fourth and short in the slugfest with Oklahoma State. Jackson has recorded double-digit carries in five straight games and is one of the more consistent fantasy options for the Wildcats right now. They'll go up against a tough Utah defense next week.

Totals 39 yards in loss Jackson tallied 10 carries for 25 yards and reeled in all three targets for 14 yards during Saturday's 43-20 defeat against Texas Tech.

Impact Jackson received the bulk of the carries out of the backfield with star RB Dylan Edwards missing another game with an injury. QB Avery Johnson was the more successful runner against the Red Raiders as Jackson averaged just 2.5 yards per carry against a stout Texas Tech defensive line. Jackson has a much better matchup against a bad Oklahoma State defense next week.

Heavy volume in big win Jackson totaled 20 carries for 69 yards and hauled in all two targets for one yard during Saturday's 42-17 win versus Kansas.

Impact Jackson totaled at least 20 carries for the second week in a row as he fills in for an injured Dylan Edwards. Although he's averaging just 3.8 yards per carry on the combined 47 carries against TCU and Kansas, it's the kind of volume that keeps him in consideration for fantasy rosters. If Edwards can't go again next week, Jackson will get the start again versus a tough Texas Tech defense.

100-yard rushing performance Jackson tallied 27 rushes for 110 yards and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for three yards during Saturday's 41-28 win over TCU.

Impact Jackson added his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season on a season-high 27 carries against the Horned Frogs. Jackson was elevated to the starting role because Dylan Edwards missed another game with an injury. If Edwards is forced to miss the game at Kansas in Week 9, Jackson should be considered for fantasy line-ups if he's going to see this kind of volume.

OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals over 100 yards in loss Jackson totaled 13 rushes for 61 yards and hauled in 5 of 6 targets for 41 yards during Saturday's 35-34 defeat to Baylor.

Impact Jackson saw a season-high 18 touches as starter Dylan Edwards had yet another injury scare early in the game. Edwards did return to the game and rushed for 26 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Depending on Edwards' health, it's possible that Jackson will continue to see double-digit touches when the team hosts TCU next week.

Adds rushing score against UCF Jackson notched five rushes for six yards and one touchdown and caught both of his targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 34-20 victory over UCF.

Impact Jackson added his first rushing score of the season against UCF. He did this while starter Dylan Edwards returned to full health with 20 carries for 166 yards and a touchdown. Jackson should continue to be a compliment back to Edwards which appears to be a suitable role for the sophomore back. Kansas State will play at Baylor next week.

Eight touches in upset loss Jackson compiled seven rushes for 30 yards and hauled in 1 of 3 targets for five yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus Army.

Impact Jackson had his worst performance of the season and also tipped the final pass for Kansas State which went for a game-sealing interception for Army. Jackson has been the most active back after Dylan Edwards' injury, however, he's failed to have a noticeable impact and the Wildcats have struggled as a team. Kansas State will look to get back on the right pat when they play at Arizona on Friday Night.

Catches game-winning TD Jackson compiled 11 carries for 55 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for six yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 win versus North Dakota.

Impact Jackson's six-yard touchdown reception was the game-winning play with 42 seconds left in the game. Jackson did lead the way in the backfield with 11 carries while teammate DeVon Rice flashed with seven carries for 40 yards and two touchdowns. It's expected that Dylan Edwards will be out again for Week 3, so expect more work from both Jackson and Rice against Army next week.
