Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay. he dealt with a knee injury last season, which impacted his snap share and effectiveness. Last year, after Week 6, he surpassed 60% of the snaps in only two games. I wouldn't be surprised to see Green Bay limit his playing time to an extent this year to keep him healthy all year, but that's just a projection. I also wouldn't be shocked to see them run him out there for 70-80% of the snaps weekly if his body can hold up. Last year, he ranked 22nd in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackle rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Jacobs' touchdown equity in the Green Bay offense has helped him a ton over the last two seasons, as he has averaged 15 total touchdowns per season while ranking ninth and fifth in red zone touches. Jacobs is a top 20 back with RB1 upside in 2026.

Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) is inactive for Week 18 for the Green Bay Packers against the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Jacobs will sit out the regular season finale with Green Bay locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, with Emanuel Wilson in line for an increase workload against the Vikings Sunday. Jacobs finishes the regular season with 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.
