Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a minor part of the Packers' 30-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Jacobs tallied 43 rushing yards on the ground on 14 carries while securing his only target for a five-yard reception. Outshined by fellow running back Emanuel Wilson, Jacobs had his worst game as a Packer as he could not get much going on the day. The Packers' game plan saw Green Bay continue to emphasize the run with Malik Willis starting another game for Jordan Love (knee), who was ruled out before kickoff. For fantasy purposes, Jacobs remains a solid low-end RB1 in a tough upcoming matchup in Week 4 against the revitalized Minnesota Vikings' defensive unit.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (back) has had his practice reps limited this week, but enters the weekend off of the injury report. Jacobs is good to go this weekend and should inspire some confidence this week against the Tennessee Titans after last week's game plan with starting quarterback Malik Willis. While the Packers will still use Jacobs as a workhorse running back regardless of quarterback, the Packers clearly designed their entire offense around it in Week 2 with just 14 pass attempts and 53 rushing attempts. Jacobs rushed the ball 32 times for 151 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win last week, and another big workload means a top-12 fantasy finish may be in order yet again in Week 3. Love may return from injury to play in Week 3, but it's more likely Willis is in at quarterback for another week. Either way, fire up Jacobs as a locked-in RB1.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (back) put in a second straight day of limited practice on Thursday as the team prepares for their Week 3 road matchup in Tennessee against the Titans. Thursday is the fifth straight day that Jacobs has been limited in practice, dating back to last week. The 26-year-old suited up for the Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was heavily utilized with quarterback Jordan Love (knee) out, as he rushed the ball 32 times for 151 yards in a 16-10 victory. He should be fine to play this Sunday against the Titans, and if Love is held out for the second straight game, Jacobs figures to see another big workload out of the backfield as the Packers look to control the game and take pressure off backup QB Malik Willis. Barring something unforeseen happening with Jacobs' availability for Week 3, he should be locked into all starting lineups as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2.
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.
