RB Josh Jacobs, GB (2 Viewers)

Nice game but I wish GB had won, got some concerns they pull back on his usage rest of the regular season with basically being locked into a wild card slot.

I can see them treading water listlessly, but they would probably much prefer at TB or at Sea to having to play at Philly wild card weekend

Started slow. Balled out. Top 5ish in most formats. 16 tds. On an offense with promise that likes to use him. Just 26 years old. 300 carries this year is a red flag.

300 carries this year is a red flag.

Is it? I guess his worse year came the year after his greatest usage but I’m sure not avoiding him next year.

Ya. Whose to say. So many articles on this 300 number for RBS. I will say our bodies aren't designed to run 300 times at full speed into other people during a 17 games stretch. Everybody is different on how they handle it. I'm also not avoiding him. Dudes in his prime and should be a solid 1st round pick next year.

Just a reminder, he's a good RB on a good team. Finished RB5 in half ppr with 15 total TDs. I hope there is more negativity this offseason, like last year, so I can buy more Jacobs shares.

There was a lot of talk about his contract being designed so they could get out of it after this season.

Really no need for all of that. He's still a stud. Just needed a non-terrible situation.

The only people talking about his contract and an "out" were the people who came in already not liking Jacobs and Lloyd fanbois.

Now before people get all worked up about that statement there is nothing wrong with being cautious about a RB who has a lot of touches and being excited for a rookie coming in.

The reality was though they are bringing in a good vet RB like Jacobs to be the lead feature guy. He will be the guy until he is not. In dynasty it is good to hedge your bets and handcuff your RBs. Go get you Lloyds/Wilsons etc.

But for this year and probably next it is Jacobs show until he can't go. At some point all RBs are going to be replaced but why was there so much disrespect for a top 10 RB going to a good team with no real threat for touches as a pure rookie wasn't coming in and being trusted to run all the offensive packages.

I heard it on a few different dynasty podcasts. I think there was some concern after that ugly final season in Oakland.

But yeah, I was pretty confident he would bounce back in a better offense. The talent never left.

But what about the rookie?
