Josh Jacobs

Jacobs is the RB9 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in snap share, eighth in weighted opportunities, and 11th in red zone touches. He has averaged 20.7 touches and 104 total yards per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, Jacobs ranks 12th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs will be running uphill all day against what remains a strong Detroit run defense. Since Week 8, Detroit has held backs to the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest stuff rate, and the 12th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Josh Jacobs had his worst rushing performance of the season last week but made up for it with a season-high 74 receiving yards. That, plus another one-yard rushing score, boosted Jacobs to a third consecutive top-10 fantasy finish. Jacobs gets a tough matchup on Thursday night when the Packers travel to face the Detroit Lions. Detroit has given up the third-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs, and they have yet to allow a receiving touchdown to a running back this year. Jacobs will have to rely on volume to keep his top-10 streak intact.
