Josh Jacobs's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (undisclosed) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Packers did not reveal the nature of Jacobs' injury, although head coach Matt LaFleur downplayed the limited tag, telling reporters, "I think he'll be fine." Jacobs could just be getting some veteran rest after taking 32 carries in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. That said, his status will be worth monitoring over the next two days as the Packers continue preparing to take on the Tennessee Titans on the road in Week 3. With MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) landing on injured reserve earlier in the week, Emanuel Wilson would be in line for a larger workload if Jacobs were to be inactive in Week 3.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a busy man during the Packers' 16-10 win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Jacobs rushed for 151 yards on 32 carries as the Packers leaned heavily on the run with Jordan Love (knee) ruled out for Week 2 and Malik Willis starting in Love's place. A fumble near the end zone in the middle of the second quarter cost Jacobs a chance to add a touchdown to his ledger. Jacobs has averaged 24 carries in his two games thus far in 2024 for a robust 4.9 yards per carry, so this new change in scenery for the 26-year-old back may have been just what the doctor ordered. The Packers will travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans, where Jacobs will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy no matter who is under center for Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs had a solid game in Week 1, with 104 yards from scrimmage and three receptions. He'll look to build on that against the Indianapolis Colts in the Packers' home opener in Week 2. Throughout the week, Jacobs had been limited in practices with a back injury, but Friday's practice report had no designation for Jacobs. He should be good to go against a Colts' defense that was gashed repeatedly by Texans' running back Joe Mixon to the tune of 159 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Packers will need Jacobs as the team is likely to start Malik Willis in the place of Jordan Love (knee). Consider Jacobs a low-end RB1 in fantasy that should get quite a bit of volume, especially if fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) cannot suit up for the team in Week 2.
