RB Josh Jacobs, GB (2 Viewers)

Redraft
Not a single bump by anyone in the Shark Pool in over 6 months and the season approaching fast
-Bijan, Barkley, CMC, Gibbs all go first
-Achance, Henry, Jeanty,

Then you have Bucky Irving who i think the world of but we need to look at the numbers as well.
JTaylor, Chase Brown, Kyren Williams, all of them are considerations but Jacobs seems like the safe veteran move when you come around the 1/2 turn
He falls to the middle of the 2nd, pairs well with a stud WR in the 1st if you can pull it off

337 touches last season, over 300 on the ground so he basically gets all the carries, would like to see him used more in th passing game since they struggle to find Wide Receivers
Do you want Jordan Love throwing 570 times if you are the front office? You might if he was as good as Aaron Rodgers in his prime but he's not. Way overpaid at this moment.

4.4 ypc, he avg just under 5 in 2022, feed the guy should be a big part of the game plan.
2,053 is his all time high total yds in '22, last year he got 1,670 but he improved on a career high of 12 all the way to 16TDs last season, Green Bay will factor into the Wildcard so he's gonna get a lot of touches, high volume RBs are hard to find. Don't be afraid to back him up with Marshawn Lloyd, injuries have slowed him down but once the season starts, he's worth a late dart throw

Jacobs will easily go over 300+ touches if he stays healthy, he's an autostart every week, hard to find and a safe spot anywhere in the 2nd round, easily could land in the Top 5-7 RBs '25

Just a gentile reminder that this was dormant all off season until "I/we" kicked it in the tail pipe to highlight an undervalued 2nd round RB

Don't be afraid, take the free money

:love free $

He was on my radar once I actually watched him.

-Runs low and hard and is a small target to tacklers
-can catch enough - not phenom but enough
-GB brought him in or back in to get the TD several times last year

It'll be fun to revisit. Got him 2.05 in a 10 team RB #8 or so

who are people grabbing behind him? I like Brooks, but imagine they’ll try to employ an RBBC if JJ goes down. I grabbed Lloyd in a dynasty, and despite the multiple soft tissue injuries, he’s a 2nd round pick, and flashed in limited action (camp/pre-season).

Emanuel Wilson "flashed" over 100+ carries during the 2024 season, 85.7 pff grade, 9th among 47 qualifying RBs. He also had an 80 TD yard run during the preseason, I believe 2023. He's a bruiser with some speed.

The pundits say Brooks is better at receiving, and MarShawn could be a stud... TBD. Wilson did have a 30 yard receiving TD early last season - he's no slouch - good for the team, not for fantasy football.

Jacobs, McKinney have bigger goals for Year 2 with Packers

Sure seemed like Wilson was the backup last year. Don't see why it would be any different to start this year.
