Josh Jacobs Scores Again, Tallies 107 Total Yards In Week 16 Victory
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs kept his touchdown streak intact with a second-quarter touchdown as the Packers routed the New Orleans Saints 34-0 in Week 16. Jacobs scored on a two-yard touchdown at the beginning of the second quarter, making that the sixth consecutive game that Jacobs has scored a touchdown. With an economical 69 yards on 13 carries, Jacobs was efficient on the ground while also catching a perfect 4-of-4 targets for 38 yards on the evening. Bowing out a bit early was Jacobs as with a massive lead and the Packers well on their way to a win, he gave way for the backups later in the second half. With a divisional matchup set for Sunday afternoon when the Packers face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 for fantasy managers.
Lock Josh Jacobs In For RB1 Treatment Against Saints
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs looks to keep his awesome run going in Week 16 as the Packers host the New Orleans Saints. Jacobs has been on fire over the last five games, where he's scored nine touchdowns and averages 21 carries and 112 total yards per game. The Packers have been leaning more and more towards the run in the second half of this season as Green Bay has a bottom-five pass rate over expected. The expectation for Jacobs to continue that rushing volume is there against a Saints team that ranks 28th in defensive EPA per rush attempt. With this excellent matchup looming, it should be no surprise that Jacobs is a must-start option at running back for fantasy managers this week.
Josh Jacobs’ Touchdown, 136 Total Yards Lift Packers In Week 15 Victory
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a utilization monster as he touched the ball 30 times and was an integral part of the team's 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Setting the tone early in game was Jacobs, as he touched the ball in 9-of-10 plays on the game's opening drive that ended on a Jacobs rushing touchdown from one yard out. Jacobs ended the night with 26 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown, as well as catching 4-of-4 targets for 42 yards through the air. It was a continuation of a massive run for Jacobs as he's scored nine touchdowns in his past five games. With the Packers going back home to Lambeau Field to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 and a must-start option for fantasy managers.
Lock In Josh Jacobs With RB1 Treatment Against Seahawks
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown-scoring machine for the Packers as of late and will look to continue that run going when Green Bay heads west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15. Jacobs has scored eight touchdowns in his last four games, including two of those games with three touchdowns scored. Averaging 73 rushing yards, 33 receiving yards, and 24.6 fantasy points per game in the last four contests, Jacobs has been RB2 in that span only behind just Saquon Barkley. Seattle has given up the seventh-most rushing yards per game (109.5) this season, so with the Packers being a run-heavy team overall and gladly giving Jacobs all he can handle in terms of rushing volume, consider Jacobs a locked-in RB1 for Week 15.
Josh Jacobs Continues Touchdown Binge With Three More In Packers’ Loss
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs provided most of the Packers' scoring as he was a massive part of the game plan in their eventual 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions. Jacobs was solid on the ground, piling up 66 yards on the ground on 18 rushing attempts, but he scored three times to highlight Jacobs' stellar performance. Pacing the Packers' offense as the closer to three of their four touchdown drives, Jacobs plunged in a one-yard score in the second quarter, a six-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and a four-yard plunge. Jacobs almost had a fourth touchdown through the air as well, if not for an offensive pass interference penalty. Week 14 was Jacobs' second three-touchdown game in the last three games, so Jacobs is clearly a must-start fantasy option at running back heading into Week 15's tilt against the Seattle Seahawks.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was limited in practice all week but was removed from Wednesday's final injury report and will be available in Week 14 to face the division-rival Lions on the road in Detroit on Thursday night. Jacobs has dealt with a nagging calf injury this year but hasn't missed any time because of it, and the Packers were likely just giving him some extra rest late in the season during light practices this week. The matchup against Detroit's defense on the road isn't ideal for any RB, but Jacobs has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy in his first year in Green Bay, and the Lions will be missing three defensive linemen due to injury this week. In his last five games, Jacobs has been a volume king, averaging 22.4 touches, 118 yards and just over a touchdown per game. In the first meeting against Detroit, he also had 16 touches for 97 scrimmage yards.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs' calf injury is something that he dealt with in the past this season, and it's more of a nagging issue more than anything. Although Jacobs popped up on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, there's not much cause for concern. Jacobs could get back to a full practice on Wednesday and be removed from the final injury report altogether. Even if he's listed as questionable for Thursday night's big divisional contest against the Detroit Lions, we'd expect Jacobs to be ready to play while handling his normal lead-back role in the Packers' backfield. The Lions aren't the greatest matchup for an opposing RB, especially at Ford Field, but Jacobs has had enough volume in 2024 to be considered a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 this week.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Tuesday for the second straight day this week. There's been no indication that Jacobs' calf injury will put him in danger of sitting out of Thursday's divisional clash against the Detroit Lions, but we'll have a more clear picture after Green Bay releases their final injury report for the week on Wednesday. As of now, fantasy managers should plan on keeping the 26-year-old lead back in their starting lineups for Week 14 action. In his first year with the Packers, Jacobs has been money for fantasy managers as an RB1 with 192.2 total half-PPR points, which ranks him as the RB7 heading into Thursday's game against Detroit. The two-time Pro Bowler has at least 15 touches in each of the team's last eight games, and although the Lions aren't the greatest matchup, Jacobs did go for 95 yards against them back on Nov. 3.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is included on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday with a calf injury. Jacobs' calf injury is worth watching, but as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback on Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be ready to roll for a second straight Thursday contest, this time against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old former Raiders back has a streak of five straight games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage, so he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups despite an upcoming unfriendly matchup on the road in a hostile environment. In the last five games, Jacobs has 590 scrimmage yards and seven rushing scores on 112 touches. In the first meeting against the Lions on Nov. 3, Jacobs had 13 carries for 95 yards and caught two passes for 13 additional yards.
Josh Jacobs Plunges Into The End Zone In Packers’ Week 13 Victory
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has a productive day at the office as the Packers rolled up the Miami Dolphins 30-17 at Lambeau Field. Jacobs took quite a bit of rushing volume but was pretty inefficient with it as he rushed 19 times for 43 yards, but got into the end zone toward the end of the first quarter. Where Jacobs made his night was in the passing game, as he caught 4-of-4 passes for 74 yards, including a 49-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter. Jacobs should be considered a low-end fantasy RB1 for Thursday Night Football, where the Packers will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions.
