Josh Jacobs Week 14 Outlook - Packers at Giants

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 7th 2023, 1:05pm EST

Jacobs is the RB12 in fantasy, ranking fifth in snap share, second in opportunity share, and first in weighted opportunities. Since Week 9, he has averaged 23.6 touches and 100.3 total yards. Under his new head coach, he has finished as the RB3, RB21, RB37, and RB5 in weekly scoring. Jacobs remains the billboard king of volume because his efficiency metrics have remained in the toilet. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 45th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 51st in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs will need all the volume he can get this week against a strong Vikings run defense. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the lowest explosive run rate, the second-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the fifth-lowest rushing yards per game. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
