Josh Jacobs

Jacobs' first season in Green Bay was about as good as it gets, as the ex-Raider finished no lower than sixth among RBs in carries, rushing yards, carries inside the 5, touches, scrimmage yards, touchdowns and fantasy points. His season started somewhat quietly, but he dominated once temperatures dropped and went on to find the end zone in eight straight games to finish the regular season. Jacobs also contributed in the passing game (15th among RBs in receiving yards) and has now finished all six NFL seasons 18th or better in fantasy PPG. Green Bay's feature back remains in his prime at age 27 and makes for a solid fantasy RB1.

Jacobs was productive early in his career thanks to his ability to avoid tackles. In three of his first four seasons, he earned 0.26 avoided tackles per attempt or better on over 200 attempts. Over the last six seasons, James Conner is the only other running back to accomplish that more than once.
He finished eighth in fantasy points per game for a running back, as well as eighth in touches per game for a running back. He scored one rushing touchdown over the first seven games and 14 rushing touchdowns over the last 10 games.
Jacobs played 62.5% of offensive snaps last season, which is a notable decrease from his time with the Las Vegas Raiders. While there is a chance MarShawn Lloyd carves out a significant role this season, it could largely be at the expense of other running backs, unless Lloyd can outplay Jacobs.
